This is the first installment of The Basement series based in Las Vegas. I did this escape room after The Study which was in Los Angeles, but would highly recommend to do The Basement series in story-order like intended. I am a huge scaredy-cat when it comes to horror themed escape room games, but I was convinced to do this one since I had already done The Study. You have been captured by serial killer Edward Tandy and if you do not do something soon to escape, you will really end up as a goner!!!
Even though nowadays you can easily say an escape room like this could be outclassed by more technology heavy rooms, The Basement really brings an experience unique to itself. After all of the escape rooms I have done, this series is still one of the most unique and no other has been able to compare. The story telling and experience really immerses you into this setting. The puzzles are fairly simple and not difficult at all, but they are very fitting to this theme.
The Las Vegas location did a really good job and was comparable to the Los Angeles branch. Would highly recommend this room to any horror-themed lovers.
