After a long day, you return home to your beloved dog, only to find he is missing! You go online to see if anyone has seen him. Between pictures of missing pups and pleas for help, you find rumors of dog nappings, a Mad Professor, and a curious invention… Armed with the rumors, you sneak into the Mad Professor's lab and discover not only the missing pooches, but a nefarious plot. Can you release the hounds and stop the Mad Professor before time runs out?

Loved the other rooms but found this too easy. Just two people and we were out in 20 minutes.

Rating: 3/5 - Small, beginner level room with fun puzzles, good for dog lovers Things I liked: ➕Good puzzle variety such as visual, physical, numbers, etc. ➕There's a mix of combo locks, padlocks, and tech ➕All the puzzles were fair and made sense, no outside knowledge or other issues. They also fit the dog/lab theme. ➕Loved all the dog references and photos ➕Real lab props that were used in puzzles ➕Some non-linearity so players can split up ➕The owner/GM is clearly an enthusiast and great to talk to, he was helpful when needed. Room for improvement: ➖I wish it was more than a single room, I enjoy discovering new areas. Though the owner said he plans on remodeling and expanding this room in the future. I appreciate that they allowed me to play solo with a public booking, I was able to escape with a few hints/nudges. I'd recommend a team of 2 enthusiasts as this is more of a beginner room. My ranking of the rooms I've played here starting with my favorite: 1. Queen Anne's Revenge 2. Legion 3. Release the Hounds

Very fun room. If you don't like dogs, you will not like this room :) There are some great puzzles here as well.
