One interesting free escape room story was in a wizard's tower - themed room. The players had to use magic wands (actually just props with sensors) to cast spells on the right objects to open doors and reveal clues. They also had to read ancient scrolls written in a made - up language to figure out the final incantation to escape. Another unique story was about an underwater - themed escape room. Here, players had to fix a leak in a submarine - like structure and find the coordinates to the surface to get out.
Sure. One horror story is about a girl who rented a room. At night, she always heard strange scratching noises from the walls.

Once, I was in a waiting room at a dentist's office. There was a creepy old portrait on the wall. As I sat there, it felt like the eyes in the portrait were following me. Every time I looked up, I got this uneasy feeling. It made the waiting seem even longer and more dreadful.

One horror story I've heard is that there was a power outage in the labor room right in the middle of a difficult delivery.

There was a time in my old apartment. I often smelled a strange, putrid smell in my room. I searched everywhere but couldn't find the source. One day, I found that there was a dead rat in the ventilation duct. It had been there for who knows how long, and that was the cause of the horrible smell.
The unexpected apparitions are really scary. Like a ghostly figure suddenly showing up out of nowhere while you're focused on a puzzle.
One great escape room success story is from a group of friends. They entered an ancient Egyptian themed escape room. At first, they were a bit lost, but then they found a hieroglyphics clue.
