CONTAINED LIVERPOOL ESCAPE ROOMS & SCARE MAZE, BOOTLE – 9TH JANUARY 2022
REVIEWED BY MIA BOWEN
5*****
If you love all things supernatural and occult, you are guaranteed screams attempting to achieve the end game in this escape room experience in less than 60 minutes.
It is 1974, you are entering the pitch-black bedroom of a 12 year old girl, who Father Daniels believes, is possessed by a malevolent demon. The priest has mysteriously disappeared and this is where he was last known to be. You are young students, searching for him, to find and assist him in the exorcism, freeing the possessed child of this demon. In order to do so, you have to solve puzzles to gain information and tools to use, to defeat and banish this vicious demon.
Our game master and host, Sean could hear and see everything we said and did, and I am certain he must have had such a belly laugh watching at us, screaming, jumping and hiding behind each other! He was able to speak to us over a speaker system, giving us specific clues and directions to solve the puzzles to find the clues.
This escape room experience has all the characteristics of the spine-chilling HORROR movie; mystery, suspense, terror and shock, whilst attempting to solve the puzzles.
This was our fist visit to Contained Rooms. Very easy to find and parking outside the building. We were a group of four, our ages ranging form 18 to 47. We achieved the endgame in 53:44, placing us 3rd on the leader board!
It is open all year round, guaranteeing you a distinctive, thrilling and realistic experience. Sean informed us that they have a brand new Escape room coming to Contained Rooms in 5 to 6 weeks, entitled ‘The Addams Family: Dead by Wednesday’, which is more family friendly. They also produce an ‘immersive, script based live actor scare maze’ in Liverpool, running for limited dates in October.
