Stay in the Dark in a word: Unmissable. There aren’t many games that I would replay, but this is one. The more I look back on it, the more I realise how much I enjoyed it. Sadly it’s closing in May 2024 but if you get a chance to play it, you must.
Immersive Experiences
Hounds Escape: The Acid Bath Murderer Experience (Crawley)
The Acid Bath Murderer is hard to quantify. Part escape room, part history lesson, and part true crime drama, perhaps the best way to describe it would be to call it an Immersive, Narrative-Driven Puzzletale. Whatever you call it, it’s a perfect combination of puzzles and story, culminating in a new sort of experience that is unlike anything else we’ve encountered so far, and one not to be missed.
Museum of Intrigue (Syracuse, NY, USA)
I am not sure I’ve ever had this much fun at the mall, not even when I was 5. If you’re looking for something a little bit different, but totally fantastic, to do in Syracuse, you should look no further than The Museum of Intrigue.
Phantom Peak (London)
Phantom Peak is a wacky place that has a strange obsession with Platypuses, and it works. The cool Wild West Steampunk vibe, cool machines, great cast, and obscure missions all come together to form the perfect family/friend/work/romantic experience. We didn’t know what to expect, but we will be back, and probably more than once. We’ve now got a new favourite attraction in London.
