Explore the final room of Thornbright Mansion.
"You make your way through a hidden door behind the laboratory’s bookshelf. As you enter, the bookshelf shifts behind you, trapping you in a dimly lit ballroom. A number of objects within the room spring to life and start making odd sounds - a grating ticking noise, peculiar voices, and an eerie children’s song. Suddenly, you hear the distinct sound of a door slamming shut coming from the cellar below. Could that door be your way out? And who else is in this house?"

The Thornbright Mansion Series is split up into three distinct Chapters. Each Chapter contains a new pop-up location within the titular mansion for you to explore, as well as expanding on the mystery introduced in Chapter 1.
Each Chapter is a complete experience in itself, but you'll need to play all three Chapters in order to get the full story behind the Thornbright family.

Best game I’ve ever played. Really clever and really hard. That’s what I like about it.
Thornbright Mansion: Chapter 3
The pop-up looks stunning from the get go, so much more detail in the pop-out sections and more interactive bits, which was really neat and was straightforward really fun to make work once we got the clue!
Some were amazing and it was a blast figuring the puzzles out, even if a little bit of brute-force was used to solve a puzzle or two. The print quality for this one made one particular puzzle VERY hard to see.
This one, however is linear. As much as chapter one allowed for SOME 'divide and conquer', this one required focus on one puzzle at a time rarely allowing the whole group to actively participate. Taking pictures of the board to look at while someone else has a crack at it helped, but eventually meant that two were checking things out while the rest was trying to make do.
Our group of 6, the same that did Chapters 1 and 2, didn't feel as engaged and pulled in.
While it's nice that all the chapters tie in one another, it had been almost a year since we played chapter 1. I did not bring it with me, as even Chapter 2 was somewhat a standalone adventure. But when we realized that we needed specific knowledge of Chapter1 (and that the answer is written on the physical item!) for a couple of puzzles, we just gave up and went straight for the solution. We couldn't help but feel cheated out of the experience due to that.
I understand that different tastes for different people and I'm sure some found the puzzles easy. But easy for one doesn't mean fun, necessarily. Puzzle ambiguity in wording compounded on top of the previous two issues.
Sad to say that we WANTED to like it... we tried and it was thanks to some of the small couple of victories that we could say that we had some fun, however this is were I can say that the difficulty was definitely in the "how the hell were we supposed to know/remember that!?" category.
It IS a challenge. Much harder than the previous two chapters and not for everyone. It is for the more advanced and less casual players. Remember to keep the other two chapters close by when playing, you will enjoy it more, for sure, as you need them get ahead without calling for the solution.
Well made. Easy setup. Fun puzzles!
Every month I get together with my friends and we try to find new games to play for a games night. This one was by far one of the best experiences we’ve had. We tried all 3 chapters, and boy, they did not disappoint!! It was such a cool experience doing an escape room in our own home. I can’t wait for more to come!
