📖 THE STORY
A group of hikers have gone missing in the woods. There are tales that terrible things happen to people who wander there at night. The local town has sent some search parties out to look for them. You and your group has stumbled upon a video camera near an old cabin while searching for them. Playing the video, you realize that the stories are true, and you must make it into the cabin by nightfall or suffer the same fate as the hikers. Hurry! Nightfall is only 45 minutes away.
🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE
Stepping into the foggy room, the atmosphere was phenomenal! The room felt like we were in the middle of the woods and what blew our mind was the simulation of nightfall that had the room getting darker as time progressed.
The puzzles were creative and stayed with the theme. We were so impressed with how they used so many items we would find camping or at a cabin and turned them into puzzles.
The quality of the intro video was top notch and definitely got us in the mood of the room.
GTFO does a great job on keeping you motivated and letting you know how you are doing. The best way to describe it is there is “achievement music” that plays whenever you hit a milestone in the game.
🧩 MISSED THE MARK
Nothing major jumps out at us that could have been improved. This was a solid room.
🏹 TAKE A SHOT?
This room was spooky but not scary. The room would be fine for people who are not a fan of scary and no, there are no jump scares. This room has a complete Blair Witch Project vibe for anyone who is a fan of the movies. The puzzle flow went from linear to non-linear at times which is nice to keep everyone busy throughout the game. We completed it with 2 people but believe that 6 people could play together and have a great time. Having played a few of GTFO games, one highlight is always the victory photo at the end, which is taken with a polaroid, where you get to keep one for yourself and display one at their location. Make sure to eat your carrots before coming because you will need your eyes at its sharpest as nightfall approaches.
