After 25 escape rooms in seven days, we thought we were immune to fear.

This was our final game of the trip. Typically, after that many rooms, your adrenaline is depleted, your horror senses are dulled, and very little catches you off guard. We expected to enjoy the game. We did not expect to spend nearly the entire experience wondering when we would have to run for our lives.

The suspense in this game is masterfully constructed. From the opening moments, there is an overwhelming sense of dread hanging over every interaction, every sound, and every dark corner. If you’ve seen the film, you know that eventually things are going to go very, very wrong. The brilliance of this room is how long it keeps you waiting for that moment.

Every bump in the night feels significant. Every second of silence feels dangerous.

In fact, early in the game, a few members of our team got into a genuine bickering match because some people weren’t moving quickly enough whenever something unsettling happened nearby. That’s how effective the atmosphere was. The fear wasn’t created by cheap jump scares. It came from the constant tension of knowing something was coming and not knowing when.

Before the first real chase had even begun, we were already arguing about who was moving too slowly. That was our level of fear.

The production value is exceptional. The sets are immersive, detailed, and believable, helping create one of the strongest post-apocalyptic environments I’ve experienced in an escape room. Every space feels purposeful and lived in.

The actors deserve special recognition. Their performances were completely committed from beginning to end. They didn’t simply play characters; they embodied them. After the game, one of the actresses spoke with us and literally had no voice left because she had given so much of herself to the performance. That level of dedication was evident throughout the entire experience.

28 Days Later is not just a great horror room. It is one of the finest examples of suspense-building I have ever encountered in any escape room anywhere in the world.

I genuinely believe this is one of the best escape rooms on the planet, and I look forward to seeing where it lands in the TERPECA rankings. For me, it has already earned its place among the world’s elite.
