We enjoyed The Haunting! It was challenging, fun, and creative. The game masters, Daniel and Matt, were very professional and accommodating. I especially liked how open they were to feedback and how they asked for suggestions on how they could further improve the customer experience at the end of the game. Excellent customer service. The lighting, design, and effects definitely created a scary atmosphere and vibe. But if I’m being honest, it was overshadowed by my fascination with the sequential trigger system — the way one action cleverly set the next mechanism in motion was incredibly satisfying. Overall, it’s a great activity for friends, family, or a date night. Highly recommended

We really loved The Haunting escape room. As first time 'escape roomies' we were pleasantly surprised at the quality and detail of the props and puzzles. A perfectly creepy little room with awesome sound and effects. The fact we were in a legit old 'haunted' house made it even more special.. My husband wasn't really interested in doing an escape room at the start...but he ended up enjoying it just as much as I did! The lovely staff Matt and Dan were great. Definitely recommend this for something different.

  • Children can’t come along to watch, either.
  • Staff may ask for ID from anyone who looks under 15, so bring some.
Accessibility & safety

Not wheelchair accessible

The Haunting can’t take wheelchairs: there are two large steps up to the rooms at Northbridge, and the house itself involves crawling and tight spaces. Call the team and they’ll help you choose an accessible Escape This room instead.

  • If the house gets too much, hit a panic button and a gamesmaster walks you straight out.
  • Gamesmasters watch every minute of the game on CCTV.
  • Drunk or high? Cathy can wait for a sober night; you won’t be let in.
