The realistic setting adds to the atmosphere. This is the shortest of the rooms we played, but it packs a satisfyingly complete narrative and decent puzzles into its compact run-time. (The scary aspects don’t interfere with puzzle-solving.) The puzzles are particularly rigorous and multi-layered, making this room recommended even if you don’t like horror. Highlights include a strong narrative and some interesting room interactions. Recommended team size: 3 to 5 people The Haunted House (Sutera) Rooms tried: 4 out of ? at The Haunted House (Sutera) (and the KL version of a 5th room) Will your group be combined with strangers? No Hints: Apparently unlimited hints, given through walkie-talkies or handheld intercom phones. Staff may sometimes explain an entire puzzle instead of just giving a hint, so watch out for that. In all, The Haunted House at Sutera is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, even for cowards. The puzzles themselves were solid, with clever or complex ones in the mix - even if you have no interest in horror, some of these rooms are worth playing for puzzles alone. Sadly, this means most rooms (except School Murder) are not for players with mobility issues. Many of the rooms include one or two physically adventurous aspects, with Survivor having the most intense physical aspect I’ve ever seen. I also appreciated the fact that darkness was not used to artificially increase difficulty. Indeed, strong central narratives were a highlight of most of the rooms. Some scares were creative, and some of the best ones relied on narrative and atmosphere instead of cheap shocks. These rooms were creepy and occasionally terrifying, but without being incapacitating. This is, of course, particularly important in rooms which set out to scare you. The rooms feel more polished and are in a better state of repair, with smooth functioning and no technical problems. The outlet is about 30 minutes from the checkpoint by car, with eating places nearby and Sutera Mall just a short walk away.Įven though some of us (including myself) were cowards, we had a great time - arguably better than at the former Mount Austin branch. THE HAUNTED HOUSE (SUTERA) | On a Sunday in April 2018, I went to LOST in JB’s Haunted House branch in Sutera with Escapist X from Singapore Escape Room Reviews and three other friends. Now, they have just two branches in JB, one of them newly opened on June 3, 2022. No relation to the similarly-named chain from Hong Kong, LOST in JB used to be a major player in Malaysia, with two escape room branches and one Crime Scene outlet in JB, as well as branches in KL and Kuching. But even if you rarely visit, it’s worth braving the Causeway crossing for an affordable escape-room-filled day trip. If you’re a regular visitor to JB (and you’re reading this page), you’ve probably already tried their escape rooms.

Given how close Malaysia is to Singapore, though, I figured that reviews of Malaysian rooms could be placed here instead, since Singapore-based fans can easily make the trip up north.įor past reviews of rooms which have since closed, see this archive post.
Most of my reviews of overseas escape experiences are on my general-purpose blog, escape.sg.
