Immersion
How well was the room detailed?	9
The room was detailed well and fit the theme well, but nothing outstanding like Seeking Sasquatch.
How well did they use sound effects?	8.75
Sound effects were suitable for the room. The zombie growls were creep and gave a sense of urgency. Perhaps having them increase and become louder as time goes on would add to the effect.
How well did they use lighting effects?	8.63
Lighting was good for the room, basic but nothing over the top but it fit the theme well. The lights on the displays added to the uniqueness.

We have seen zombie rooms before although there was a twist that instead of getting out you were trying to get into a safe room.

Everything felt realistic.
