Your mission will be to use the time machine to go back one hour before the disaster: Three intercontinental nuclear warheads have been launched from the bunker where you will be sent. We need you to track the CIA operative that has been sent and find a way to disarm or neutralise the missiles before it is too late. After one hour the temporal loop will collapse and you will be transported back to the present whether your mission is a success or not. We are all counting on you! A group of russian soldiers gone rogue has, with the help of an old cold war-era submarine, taken control of this secret facility. Several intercontinental missiles have been launched. Millions of lives are at stake, we must not fail in our mission! The CIA contacted us to prevent this tragedy. They informed us that they had a spy assigned to the surveillance of the rogue group and that his last communication mentioned bunker E-02 and his decision to intervene in order to prevent them access to this dangerous facility. The rogue group responsible for this attack seems to be A.R.E.S, an organisation led by the ultra-nationalist and former general Serguei Karamov according to the CIA. They have already been attributed several attacks throughout Russia and Europe aiming to destabilize world peace and bring about a “purging war for the russian nation”. You have only one hour to inspect the submarine, infiltrate the bunker, find the CIA agent and neutralise the missiles. We remind you that the keys to the success of this mission are you brain, communication and cooperation with your fellow agents. A few hours ago three intercontinental missiles have targeted the cities of New York, London and Beijing. The russian government denies any involvement in the incident and pointed to a rogue military general as the one responsible for the attacks. They have also promised all their help to the stricken nations. This unprecedented attack has led to the mobilisation of all major armies in addition to the different nuclear arsenals. Despite the denial of the russian government, the US-UK tandem has promised a swift and decisive retribution for this “act of war”.

Amazing sets and tech, massive rooms, but slightly unintuitive puzzles and a slightly disappointing ending - we finished it with too much time to go, definitely felt like it needed more puzzles!

The Bunker by Escape Rush was the second stop on our mini escape room tour in Belgium. The introduction and environment were of really high quality, with excellent attention to detail. It’s no surprise this room was previously featured in Terpeca, as its atmosphere remains impressive even after eight years. However, the room does show its age, particularly in the puzzles. A couple of them malfunctioned—lights didn’t turn on, and keypads didn’t respond properly. Additionally, some puzzle clues felt random and lacked clear logic with many red hearings, which impacted the overall flow. A notable downside to Escape Rush as a whole is its operational structure, which seems focused on getting as many groups through as possible during the day. With a single shared entrance for all groups and strict adherence to time slots, the experience feels more like a business than a personalized adventure. Additionally, while the hosts were dressed in character as tailors, their engagement lacked depth and didn’t fully enhance the immersion. Despite these issues, the experience was still visually enjoyable, and it offers enough for both newbie and experienced players to have fun. I’d recommend playing their rooms in order of release to see the progression in quality. Worth a visit, but with tempered expectations regarding the puzzles.
Some puzzles were confusing and did not make sense.
Considering its age.
It was ok, very little time to interact.
