Updated 1 November 2026 · How we score it: the share of a room's published reviews that use a fear word about the game ("scary", "terrifying", "creepy", "jump scares", "screamed", "intense"), not counting "not too scary" or "a little spooky". Reviews from every Escape This centre running the room count, so each room has one score. Rooms need 15+ reviews. Every published review is five-star, so this measures how scary people found the room, not whether they liked it. Escape This rooms only.
