CASE HISTORY
THE STORY
Two years ago, the mission to save Patient 17 fell apart. Dr. Levins walked out — and was never found.
​
The lab never closed. New patients. New experiments. And a rumor that this time, there's a real cure hidden somewhere inside.
FIND THE PATIENTS. TAKE THE CURE.
GET OUT BEFORE THE NEXT ROUND.
SUBJECT: YOU — STATUS: ENROLLED
Played the original Patient 17? You'll recognize the walls. Nothing else — every puzzle, prop, and surprise in here is brand new.
THE SHORT ANSWER: YES

GOOD QUESTIONS
BEFORE YOU BOOK
How scary is Headcase, really?
Dark and tense, not terrifying. Headcase is a psychological thriller built on fog, low light, and a gripping story, not on jump scares. No actors chase you, nothing grabs you, and there's no gore. The dread comes from the atmosphere and the mystery you're untangling. Creepy and thrilling, not traumatic.
I'm not a horror person, or I get anxious. Will I be okay in Headcase?
Most likely yes. Because there are no live actors and nothing physically startles you, Headcase reads as intense rather than frightening, more edge-of-your-seat than nightmare. It's a private game, so it's only ever your own group in the room, and your game master is watching the whole time. If anyone needs a breather, step out at any point — just signal and we'll help.
Can a kid under 13 play Headcase?
We recommend Headcase for ages 13 and up. Younger players can join with an adult in the room and a parent's okay on the more intense moments, but if you're bringing children, The Crystal Cave or The Secret at Whitmore Estate are the better fit. Parents know their kids best, so the call is yours.
How hard is Headcase? Is it a good first escape room?
Headcase is our longest and most challenging room at 75 minutes, designed for adults and players who want a real fight. First-timers absolutely succeed in it, especially with a group of four to six, and your game master gives hints whenever you're stuck. If it's your very first escape room ever and you'd rather ease in, start with The Crystal Cave or Whitmore Estate.
How many people is best for Headcase?
Three to eight players, with four to six the sweet spot for a 75-minute game, enough hands on the puzzles without anyone standing around watching.
