Really amazing experience Really amazing experience. I was scared pretty much the whole time, and it was creepily intimate. The performance by Vincent D’Avanzo was chilling and convincing, and I’ll definitely be haunted by it as I try to fall asleep tonight!

Immersive, unique, and well worth your time Claws was such an incredibly immersive experience. I felt nervous coming into it. I didn't know what to expect from individual interactive theater. But they really bring you right into the scenario. An hour went by and I had no idea. I kept trying to talk after the call stopped at the end. They really make it so your choices affect the story, and Joel (the actor) did an incredible job bringing things we talked about into the setting. I also really appreciated the way they executed the preparation. They make sure you're prepared to take the call, and take the safety of everyone involved seriously. Such a unique way to experience theater! I will be keeping a lookout for future performances!

The whole thing was kind of meh The whole thing was kind of meh, in terms of writing and concept. The actor was good enough with what he had to work with, but at a certain point I realized he needed me to take my role in a different direction in order to get back on the scripted story path.

Love It! Terrifying and so fun. They give you many options so you can decide how this story goes. I wish I could have saved the right person but not having done so made the ending very scary which was so fun. It's not too scary that it stops being fun but just the right amount so I'd recommend taking the call in the dark. Great voice actor too. I can't wait to do Lennox mutual at some point and tbh I wish they did more like this cause I'd buy tickets for it immediately.

Incredible and immersive experience I was incredibly nervous before the experience, but that quickly faded away when the call started and the actor of Danny starts talking. They make sure they lead you through the story and it doesn’t feel forced, even when there where moments I did not really know what to say or do, the actor made sure he started talking or asking questions, leading me further. In the end you have actual emotions in regards to Danny and the things he is saying are heartbreaking at times. It is such an incredible and extremely immersive experience and I 100% recommend trying it out!
