Quandary Computer Reviews by Rosemary Young

"I have to begin this review by admitting that I have read one (well maybe several) of the Goosebumps books by R.L. Stine. They've been hard to avoid when a good percentage of my younger acquaintances are avid readers of this series and have had no qualms about sharing their passion with others. In Australia, at least, the Goosebumps books have captured the imagination of the young and consequently they sell like hot cakes. For this reason I was concerned that Escape from HorrorLand might not live up to expectations."

"I needn't have worried. It's an entertaining game with a varied tempo combining fast paced action and leisurely exploration and puzzle solving. It adeptly captures the spine tingling essence of the printed word as it takes the player along on a suitably scary adventure in HorrorLand, complete with darkened sewers, haunted graveyard, flesh eating plants, vampires, and a host of other nightmarish creatures."

"This is a wonderful game for fans of Goosebumps or for young players who like to be scared out of their wits. There is a lot to explore with a good assortment of entertaining puzzles to solve and kids might well want to play it again and again to improve their score and ensure a few more sleepless nights. Both the graphics and the acting are delightful and guaranteed to grab young players and pull them straight into this hair-raising adventure. The sound effects, too, are exceptional, contributing greatly to the ominous atmosphere though I was disappointed that the dialogue is not subtitled."

Just Adventure by Randy Sluganski

"Horrorland is an excellent adventure game for that 8- to 13-year-old crowd that thrives on the likes of the R.L. Stine tomes and Nickelodeon's Are You Afraid of the Dark (which was also made into an excellent adventure game). It is an unpretentious romp through a fictional amusement park that contains some genuinely spooky, but not scary, scenes. You play as Lucy, and your siblings, Luke and Clay, have been clutched by the evil tentacles of the Horrorland Theme Park. It now falls upon your shoulders to save your family from their unknown, but sure to be terrible, fate. Of course all of this transpires at night ... during a full moon ... as wolves howl in the background. I would expect nothing less."
