The Room Video Game Review: An engaging and eerie virtual escape room experience…perfect for a date night!

Intro

My wife and I have a monthly at-home date night. This helps us stay connected to each other while disconnecting from the world. While some at-home date nights get interrupted by the kids (grrrrrr…), this one went off without a hitch!

Let me set the scene for you: all blinds and curtains closed; all lights off; couch scooted up close to the tv; long HDMI cable connecting our PC to the tv; and a tv tray set up in front of the couch with a wireless mouse and mousepad. That’s it. Then we started The Room. An eerie music started, and the mysterious storyline unfolded before us…

Werewolves of Miller’s Hollow Party Game Review: Prepare your best poker face and most cunning persuasion skills!

If you love the social, murder mystery, “who-dun-it” type party games, Werewolves of Miller’s Hollow is as good as it gets. You get the best of both worlds: the fun and intrigue of a “Mafia-esque” game with the haunting theme of a village under attack by a crafty band of werewolves.

Student Bodies Board Game Review: Thrilling zombie mayhem!

I fully admit, I love zombie horror games. Student Bodies takes a fresh new twist on the many classic, co-op, shoot-’em-up zombie games out there. You play as one of several high school students in a zombie-infested school. Here’s the catch: you’re already bitten! The clock is ticking for you to race across the hall to the science lab, find your antidote, and make your way back to the exit, shoving your fellow classmates aside (and hopefully into a zombie!) along the way. The winner makes it to the exit first, locks the door behind him or her, and gleefully skips away with his life while the other students get eaten alive.

Ghost Fightin’ Treasure Hunters Board Game Review: Creepy fun for the entire family!

First of all, can you possibly have a better name than “Ghost Fightin’ Treasure Hunters?” The name itself digs deep to my childhood adventurer self obsessed with all things creepy. I knew I’d love this game the moment I saw the name with the cover art. And it’s true. We played our first game with our young boy who was hilarious to watch play. He’d cover his face with his hands, peeking through his fingers when we’d roll to defeat a ghost or Haunting. He’d cheer when the last player escaped the haunted house. And he would silently and proudly pump his fist when he’d defeat a ghost on his own.
