Reviews for "Escape the Coven: Unravel the Secrets of the Occult Pursuit Escape Room"
1. Jane - 2 stars - I was really excited to try the Occult Pursuit escape room, but I was left feeling disappointed. The puzzles were way too complex and required a lot of outside knowledge about the occult, which I didn't have. It made the experience frustrating and unenjoyable for me. I also found the room to be too dark and creepy, which added to my discomfort. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this escape room unless you're well-versed in the occult and enjoy a dark, challenging atmosphere.
2. Mark - 1 star - Occult Pursuit escape room was a huge letdown. The theme seemed interesting, but the execution fell short. The puzzles were poorly designed and lacked logical connections, leaving us confused and frustrated. The room itself was poorly maintained with broken props and a musty odor. The staff was unhelpful and seemed disinterested in making sure we had a good experience. Save your money and find a better escape room option.
