RE: Howl-O-Scream 2017
The escape rooms were fun, a bit pricey though. Never had I experienced any technical difficulties with either of the rooms. Everything worked really well.
I'd tag along with Nicole, and also mention that the Karver room was more intense than the Ripper room, mainly because the actor stayed with you in the room throughout the time limit and I think the actor really made the room with his interactions, putting a lot of people in on edge at least in my group.
I can't see this as being a cheap gimmick for the park. I see it as a new experience coming to Halloween events at parks, possibly. I like that they diversified their offerings. Most events offer the same Haunted House, Scare Zone, Halloween-themed show style of attractions. Offering some escape rooms changes that and give me something else to look forward to.
Truly, I would prefer they replace both rooms each year. The bad thing with escape rooms is that once you've done them once, you can't really go back and do them again, unless you've failed and no one showed you the answers in the end. Having new rooms each year would be great for frequent guests.
Tying rooms to existing themes already in the park is also something I would prefer. It makes them more unique and desirable. After all, a lot of escape rooms appear to have many similar and familiar themes. I would prefer a theme that is different from surrounding businesses and unique to Howl-o-Scream.
