📖 THE STORY

You've just checked yourself in to Solitude Heights Asylum. Besides the eeriness, something in the air doesn't quite feel right. The treatments provided by Dr. Robert Kieling and the nurses might be the cause of the recent disappearances of the patients. What type of experiments is the doctor performing? You have to find out before it's too late...

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

  • Lost Games have really fun and creative game masters. Every game's intro is done with them dressed in costumes and in character.

  • The creepy vibe of the asylum was detected even before we started the game. The dimly lit check-in desk and the "preparation" we had to go through before sending us into the room was a nice add-on. I can imagine the horror level going up a notch during Halloween for sure.

  • The game flow was great. There wasn't anywhere during the game that we were felt confused or had to stop to ask why we were doing something.

  • The special effect towards the end gave a nice conclusion to the storyline. The game master's involvement also intrigued us to find out more of what happened in the asylum in "The Asylum - Part 2: Play Time".

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

  • For enthusiasts, we felt that there wasn't enough puzzles in this game. I think we had about 20 minutes left when we escaped.

  • The props needed updating. The creator did say they will be revamping this room soon.

  • One of the key pads we used didn't make "peep" noises when we entered the code so we were confused as to if they took our input or not.

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

This is a great beginner room especially if you love horror and eerie themed stories. There are no live actors (usually, I can't guarantee if the monsters come out to play during Halloween) but due to the set design you always feel like someone's watching you (besides the game master). One thing we always loved about Lost Games is how involved they allow their game masters to be. When we spoke with one of them, he said he really enjoys doing this because he sees it as a performance and not a job. We felt the attention we were getting from all of them from beginning of the game to end. This truly takes the experience to the next level!
