The House in the Woods: Twisted Tidings (Limited Holiday Overlay)

🌲 Can You Survive the Holiday Curse?

What began as a routine paranormal investigation has taken a chilling turn for Christmas.
Veteran ghost hunter Larry Simcox vanished inside a secluded cottage after uncovering whispers of dark rituals and forbidden magic. His last message?
“Time is running out.”

Now, the cottage is dressed for the season—wreaths hide sigils, ornaments mask clues, and a winter hush lingers over the trees. Can your team break the curse, solve the mystery, and escape before midnight bells toll?

Holiday Overlay Note

Twisted Tidings is a seasonal overlay of The House in the Woods. The physical layout and core storyline remain the same, but we’ve swapped and re-themed several puzzles, props, and clue paths with eerie holiday elements. Difficulty is comparable, and prior solutions won’t help—returning teams will face fresh challenges, while first-time players can enjoy the full experience without spoilers.

Limited Run: November 5 – December 28
Location: 112 S Sandusky Street, Delaware, Ohio
