A hospital curse is spreading. Your team must break its hold
This Market Street horror experience asks you to confront the mystery and return what should never have been taken. With a difficult challenge, jump scares and disturbing sounds, it is a choice for a group that actively wants fear as part of the adventure. Agree together before you book, then face the unknown together.
Mr Hunt's hospital room should contain the traces of an ordinary patient. Instead, it stands at the centre of a curse with consequences reaching far beyond its walls. His failed heart surgery has disturbed something that did not belong to him: the heart of the Master of the Forests. What was removed must be returned. That is the simple part of the story. The difficult part is keeping your thoughts clear when every moment seems designed to scatter them. Your team has entered a place where uncertainty is part of the challenge and courage means continuing to listen, think and work together. No single brave voice can carry everyone through it. You need each other's attention as much as each other's nerve. Face the mystery, understand what it demands and stop this hospital's nightmare from becoming something greater.
Return the heart to the Master of the Forests and stop the curse from spreading. Your team must work through the hospital mystery while facing its unsettling atmosphere. Keep sharing what you discover, stay focused through the scares and complete the mission within sixty minutes.

Frequently asked questions
Is it scary?
The fear level is high. Choose it only if everyone in the group wants a darker, frightening atmosphere. There are no live actors. Check the listed sound, lighting and smoke effects before booking, and contact the team about individual concerns.
Is it suitable for kids?
Echoes of Madness is strictly for ages 14 and over, including when a parent or Games Master accompanies the group. Younger children cannot play. For ages 14-15, a responsible adult must remain onsite or within five minutes and reachable by phone.
How hard is it?
The difficulty is 5 out of 5. This is one of our strongest puzzle challenges, suited to confident groups ready to share ideas and work together. Your Games Master can provide hints if you get stuck; fear level is shown separately.
Anything to know before booking?
