Review: The Blackwell Manor

Blackwell Manor $28/ea

Place Name: New Mexico Escape Room

Place Description: The old Blackwell Manor has sat vacant for over a century upon a lonely hill just outside of town. Legend has it, the once grand manor is still inhabited by its former occupants, the Blackwell Family. It's rumored that lights are often seen coming from the house even though there's no electricity. No one from town dares to step foot within its crumbling frame. If you listen closely enough on a stormy night, you can hear the blood curdling screams coming from the house's direction. You have been challenged to spend just 1 hour locked inside the manor. The bragging rights alone are worth it. There's no such thing as ghosts, right?
