Hope everyone is enjoying the Freeing series! Today's post will be on their second 45 minute room called Painter's Murderer. This room is similar to their Black Swan level, so if you are looking for something a bit more advance and more challenging I would suggest you to by-pass this review. If you are still interested then go ahead and continue reading!

Room Quality:  The room quality is very basic. It's a dark room with paintings everywhere. I guess it does fit the room theme, but if you are expecting high tech puzzles or secret pathways, this is not the room. It's a very simple room, but I wouldn't say the props were cheap and random. It actually does give off a very creepy vibe that fits well with the theme.

Puzzle Design:  Puzzle design was alright. I wouldn't say it's challenging but given the fact that this is one of their easier room it was up to its standard. I wouldn't say it was all lockboxes for this room, but there were some. Puzzles were still abstract enough to allow you to think outside the box which I thought was quite impressive for an easier room. Puzzles were well designed and did fit the theme. With that being said, the lockboxes did fit well into the story. I believe this room was like Black Swan where the second part of the challenge was to figure out what weapon was used for the murder.

Overall:  Once again this room is recommended for people that are a bit more new to escape rooms. Puzzle design was a bit on the easier side which is great for beginners. If you are looking for something a bit more high end, you can skip this room. I would recommend a party of 2-3 for this room. It's not that spacious so if you go with a bigger team it might get a bit too tight in the room. I also thought going with two people was perfect because the creepy vibe does creep up on you especially when it's just two people in that room. There's no jump scares so don't have to worry about that. I personally just find anything dark scary, but it wasn't pitch black to the point you couldn't see anything.

Happy Escaping!
