When I first heard that The House on the Hill was coming soon, I immediately started planning my next trip to Athens. The first trailers and announcements, then the video, only fueled my curiosity. I knew it would be a good room, like everything Lockhill does, but I didn’t expect […]
Introduction Doors of Divergence had already built a strong reputation within the community before their closure in New York City. Their recognition at the TERPECA Awards only reinforced that Madness 1917 reached #37 in 2023, while Heresy 1897 also made it into the finalists, placing #119. Even with those expectations, […]
Introduction We didn’t just book 3 escape rooms – we booked an entire journey. Ranked #22 worldwide at TERPECA 2025, the Chimera Corp Saga takes you through three completely different worlds, and while each can stand on its own, it’s at the very end that you realize how cleverly everything […]
Cutthroat Cavern is a game whose resume is tough to beat. It made the name for itself by taking the 2nd place in the first edition of TERPECA (2018) and holding strong in the following years, making it one of the iconic staples of the USA escape market. It’s the […]

We hadn’t even heard of it before, and then it climbed to the number one spot on escapetalk.nl. Naturally, we were curious. What was behind this […]
This room felt a bit older than many of the newer games we played, but it was still a lot of fun. We moved through it quickly – though we were definitely held back at times by a lack of light, which is never enjoyable. There were 1–2 puzzles that […]
A masterpiece of ambience and puzzles. This room is rich with challenges and carries a strong sense of suspense – without sacrificing the joy of actually solving things. Multiple times we caught ourselves saying, “Wow, that was a big brain puzzle!” It reminded me of Paradox Project in the best […]
