This past year, we’ve played both Chapter 1 of The Cromwell Estate and the Benjamin Franklin room over at Escape Room Era. We loved both, as they satisfied different types of escape room cravings for us.

This Halloween season, both of these Anaheim-based rooms have teamed up to bring us an incredibly fun pop-up! Depending on your flavor, you can either opt to go for a kid-friendly version or the more intense, scary one.

In CASE OF THE MISSING CANDY CORN, a mischievous scarecrow has hidden all of the farmer’s candy corn, and it’s up to you to help find it! 

In SCARECROW’S SHADOW, you must help your new mystical companion banish the curse of the scarecrow forever.

Hopefully from the descriptions, you can tell which one is which…

Both versions are 45 minutes long, and cost $100 total per showing. You can have 2-5 people per game, and the good news is, you won’t be paired with strangers. If you book a time slot, it’s yours. And honestly, $100 for 5 people is a steal!

We played Scarecrow’s Shadow during a beta test last week, and it was a total blast. The best part is, I actually DID get scared. For a pop-up experience running only until the end of October, the Cromwell/Era team did an amazing job pulling it together. The design is a lot of fun, the puzzles are clever, and it really was a blast. If you’re looking for some spooky escape room fun this season, definitely check them out.
