Very fun game, but not too many puzzles. Missing that one "wow" moment you might expect from a game of this theme - which leaves the overall game feeling a bit anticlimactic.

Pretty easy if you've done escape rooms before, but still a good one.

Fun theming, but felt small. The ending was abrupt and could have used another puzzle or two. The puzzles that were present were entertaining and well done. I loved the Easter eggs to alien movies/media!

Moments of darkness and spooky sounds, so if you’re afraid of aliens or darkness it’s spooky. Otherwise, not scary at all.

I would give this game a mid tier, but I can’t give it a like. It has good atmosphere and it could be better, but everything leads to a lock. It needs more interesting puzzles, nothing was really fun.

Had a lot of fun! Our small group of 2 got out in about 1/2 hour and nearly broke the record! Loved how the room transitioned. I appreciated all the various pop culture references too. I only wish the ending were even more epic in terms of what they showed. GMs were great, and offered us free water bottles because we had a long wait between our marathon of rooms there. Speaking of which, the best rooms here are the other 2 by far, but don’t sleep on this extraterrestrial adventure!

This was super fun. Theming was cool as well. The puzzles were pretty straightforward but very enjoyable. Chris was a fantastic game master!

Fun room, some good puzzles, a lot of dependency on combination locks. Not as memorable as their Dragon Challenge room but still a good time.
