📖 THE STORY

Molly was an ordinary little girl that enjoyed playing with her dolls and teddy bears while singing songs in her room. Two years ago she disappeared and her room remained exactly how she left it, Lately, Molly's parents have encountered strange and unexplainable incidents in the room. Since then, they've boarded up the room and locked it shut to prevent whatever's inside from getting out. You and your team of paranormal investigators have been requested to examine Molly's room. Unfortunately, you don't have much time and you have now been locked inside... "Molly's Horror Room"!!

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

  • The set design for this room really gave us the goosebumps. Since the escape room is located in the basement it provided the perfect ambiance for this room. The game master told us that there's actually a dojo upstairs that would from time to time add natural sound effects from the creaking floors. The room itself has dimmed lighting accompanied by creepy old toys. We kept thinking there was someone else in the room with us. And if you are "lucky", you might get a return on your "calling"...

  • The set design cleverly hid everything that would cause a jump scare and it got us almost every time!

  • The scene transformation was "lovely" as we one from one room to another.

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

  • There were a couple of puzzles in the room that we managed to bypass without solving it which actually confused us because we were performing out of order. Some of the props felt like they needed some maintenance and others that were not working needed to be removed from the room to avoid this from happening. We also had to guess one of the solutions due to this issue.

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

Room Escape Fairfax is the sister company of Bond's Escape Room which we've visited before and played their games - "Saddlewood Saloon" and "Enchanted Castle". You can click HERE for our exclusive interview with the manager and a sneak peek inside both of those rooms! Room Escape Fairfax is a larger space that currently has 9 escape rooms in total and Bond's Escape Room currently has 5 escape rooms and 1 online virtual game.
