Room Description: 

Welcome to the Abercrombie Mansion. The new owner has requested your help!

After discovering a cursed artefact in the mansion, they have requested you, as ghost hunters, to perform a seance and gain a sprit's trust. This spirit not only haunts the mansion, but is also said to have the key to unlocking the strange artefact.

Take a seat, be our guest but be wary on who you trust.

Comments:
Seance is not a room to be underestimated. After reading numerous outstanding reviews across various platforms, our team felt compelled to visit this new establishment and discover what all the hype was about. It marked my 27th room experience to date and our team's 24th. As advertised, participants are seated for the entirety of the experience. However, this should not dissuade you, as our team of four found plenty to engage with from beginning to end.

Before entering the room, we were greeted by Josh, one half of the owners of The Cool Space. Having had prior experience with Josh at another company, we were confident that we were in capable hands. The theming was impeccable, with every puzzle seamlessly integrated into the storyline. We encountered well-timed jump scares and even experienced a surprising visit—without divulging too much detail. The entire experience flowed smoothly, providing us with a tremendous amount of enjoyment.

After completing the room in about 50 minutes without any hints, we had an insightful conversation with Josh, who recognized our team and willingly delved into the intricacies of how the room operated. We were then fortunate to meet Daniel, the other half of the ownership team at The Cool Space. Both Josh and Daniel were enthusiastic about giving us a behind-the-scenes tour, showcasing more than we could have anticipated. It's an exciting new venture, and we eagerly anticipate what The Cool Space has in store for the future.
