I played the room before I was employed there and I'm trying to stay neutral: gripping story, beautiful set, still impressive for 2016. The puzzles are mostly locks and mechanisms, but it was still fun. No horror; doable with two, optimal with three or four. Hints came at just the right time, the GM was excellent, plus some nice fun facts and an unusual intro.

Wonderfully and fittingly designed; the puzzles are clever and often require thinking outside the box. The game master was super friendly, the hints were well-balanced, and afterwards there were explanations about special features and the decor. You can even warm up with small brainteasers in the waiting area.

Every second was a pleasure. The decor is packed with details, the gameplay flow is well thought out, and there are so many little Easter eggs that I’d even play it a second time.

Crisp yet fair puzzles, beautiful set design, and a gamemaster who helps at exactly the right moment. We had a steady flow and several wow moments. An absolute recommendation for teams who enjoy puzzling together.

There were six of us and we were able to work in parallel really well without getting in each other’s way. The setting was cohesive, the clues were cleverly integrated, and we even had some time to spare on the clock at the end. This is exactly how a prison-themed room should feel!

Overall, I liked the room, although the introductory room was too long for my taste. The real fun begins in the era rooms; the second one in particular was beautifully decorated and rich in detail. The hints were a bit too direct and not quite on-theme, but it’s still an all-around recommendation.

A really well-rounded time-travel trip with lovingly crafted details and plenty of puzzles that feel fair. The hosts were top-notch, friendly, and on the ball. We slipped nicely into a flow state and even had a genuine wow moment at the end.

A room to marvel at: lovingly detailed, cleverly run, and with several moments that quite literally left our jaws on the floor. Puzzles are fair and varied, nothing arbitrary. Highly recommended.

For a 60-minute puzzle game, nearly perfect. Not showy, but with really nice surprises, a clear flow, and a good mix of easier and more challenging puzzles. No hints needed, and we came out very satisfied in the end.

Great mix of brainwork and technology, plus an effect that had us all grinning. Felt modern without being overdone. I'd play it again in a heartbeat.
