See the spirits
Spectre Detector 1000
This marvelous device is responsible for transforming our everyday light into spectral light. This spectral light is the only such light that can expose clues that spirits leave behind. When handling, it’s best to have two operators – one to supply the everyday light and another to search with the spectral light.
Hear the spirits
Spectre Detector 2000
This unique box is responsible for collecting spirit energy and translating that into human audio forms. When scanning a spirit item, hold in place for at least three seconds. If you accidentally scan an item that does not contain spirit energy, you might need to wait for the device to recharge.
Fans of Ghostbusters and Luigi’s Mansion have particularly loved their experiences with this fresh take on thrilling and scary escape rooms.

Frequently-Asked Questions
What’s the difference between “linear” and “non-linear”?
Traditional “linear” escape rooms typically force players on a single path where the focus is on one challenge at a time. Generally, it can be easier to follow the flow of a linear escape room, but it also means that there’s a good chance that some players could be sitting on the sidelines.
However, some escape rooms like Fright Before Your Eyes, implement a “non-linear” gameflow, which means that players can choose which order to tackle the challenges. This particularly works well for teams who can organize themselves and promotes opportunities where challenges can be done simultaneously, which means nobody sits on the sidelines.
Will I play this escape room with strangers?
We offer “private experiences”, which means that when you make a reservation, the remaining unreserved tickets are blocked out so that nobody else can book the same reservation time.
Is this escape room really pitch black?
If there was such a thing as a family-friendly scary escape room, Fright Before Your Eyes could be it. Although the Grand Compass Theatre is in the pitch black darkness, your team will find flashlights to help illuminate the place. Use what light you can and communicate with each other to navigate the shadows.
If you don’t like being startled or have anyone not-so-brave on your team, let your host know to make adjustments. We can bring the lights up a bit, share with you any questionable areas that may frighten, or even let you play with the door open.
I heard there’s a secret bonus in this escape room.
Exploring the Grand Compass is a layered experience. At first, it seems one way, but then it’s another. And there’s more to it than just the ghosts. No detail should be overlooked. Stay focused on what you can see, no matter how scary the magician’s machinations and ethereal enigmas become.
In fact, there’s a secret that’s hidden somewhere in the game and there’s at least three clues from outside the game that can help you find it. Should you come across it, share it with your host and we’ll give the clever player a memento to take home with them. X marks the spot!
