Details

“There are horrors beyond life's edge that we do not suspect, and once in a while man's evil prying calls them just within our range.” - H.P. Lovecraft, The Thing on the Doorstep Through the darkened chamber doors with the smell of dust and stone and blood thick upon the cold air, the candle shivers, casting shadows upon the entrance to the tomb. There within its cold walls, a mystery awaits in the darkness. It's heartbeat slow and deep, waiting for you to creep ever closer. Symbols cover the walls. Skulls litter the floor, and the graves of the dead, fill the room with fiendish surprises. Here in this crypt, your team must uncover the riddle before the devil know's you're there. Recommend for 4-6 players, can hold 8 (barely). (Note: This room isn't very scary)

Theme Rating: 5/5
