Morgue

Morgue was maybe my favorite OTC game with the merger of comedy and horror being done to perfection. The production quality was high as is the norm, and the puzzles were tough, multi-layered, and interactive. The “bonus” activities were some of the highlights, and if you are easily scared there is still plenty for you to do! Definitely make this a stop on your trip to the bay, and if you are a local this should be at the top of your list.

8.5/10 Off the Couch’s Best Room by far! Eccentric, fun, challenging, scary, hilarious, and so much more. All of the puzzles not only fit the theme but are fresh and unique. So much to do and everyone will have a distinct experience. My only advice is go with a small group so you can appreciate everything this room has to offer.

Absolutely phenomenal room with super unique gameplay. Absolutely love the story line that connects the rooms, and the set design was outstanding. Cannot wait for more rooms to open!

An amazing overarching game mechanic that makes you want to solve puzzles quickly, or else. As an experience, it was a bit overstimulating at times which detracted from my experience.

While the theme of the room is basically "Blood, Gore, and Beyond", the tone of the room was almost comedic which really elevated the sadistic nature of our whole situation. The puzzles were on point and whole point system we were working with in the room added an extra layer of something to keep track of.

Morgue is the best game thus far from the original 3 chapters. It’s not entirely scary either so be brave. Take turns when called upon to maximize the fun distribution and just when you think the game is non linear, realize it’s not. A must play that is very similar to the original but has some upgrades that are super cool.

My favorite of all the rooms. I usually HATE scary rooms and HATE live actors because I’m a GIANT CHICKEN…. This room was soooo immersive and the game show element made it fun. We requested a not scary version during our booking and I’m so glad we did cuz this room definitely has the potential to be super scary but I think it’s probably more in your head than truly “scary” because the set design was so well done it definitely added to the scare factor. There were soooo many elements to this room that made it great. Very active, incorporated ALL the body’s senses, it was funny and hard.

This was my favorite of the three games. The set was amazing. You definitely felt that you were in a morgue. It is non-linear and I’d recommend 4-5 players. I liked several of of the puzzles and they were very much in theme with the room. Unfortunately, like their other rooms, I simply couldn’t understand the role and story of the live actor. I think that without the live actor, I may have given the room a heart, or if the room just went full horror. It just seemed stuck between comedic and horror with a live actor whose role I didn’t understand. I’d still recommend it as the gameplay is unique, the set is great, and it had some clever puzzles.

This was by far my favorite of OTC’s games. Even with this being the soft opening of the room, it was very very well done; and it’s clear the owner is very passionate about this project. The set design was amazing. The story, was a super unique twist on the usual creepy morgue theming, which helped tie all of the puzzles in and keep the room “dark” yet fun. The room is nonlinear and it’s tough. We’re 3 enthusiasts and it took us 105 mins, the average is about 120, but we definitely struggled in some parts. With that being said; a lot of puzzles were very clever and the mini games requiring group members to split up from the pack was very cool. All in all, I very highly recommend this room, especially if you’re not opposed to getting scared.
