May 2027, the world was turned into a blazing hell. Nuclear weapons launched by our national leaders set all cities aflame in a matter of minutes. There were no winners, only losers. Humanity was plunged into total chaos in which morality, solidarity and dignity burned. London 2099, 72 years have passed since the Great Fire; among the radioactive debris of this once-great city, rats have survived and transformed, trying to take the lead of this new disfigured world. Your mission is to thwart the plot of their leader, King Rat, hidden within the depths of the London Underground.

Amazing building, multiple rooms, decent host and some special immersive moments with cool tech and theming just let down by sometimes basic puzzles or sections that won't work without help from the game master. This made what could have been a really enjoyable experience quite stressful!

The location is amazing, the disused tube station looks very cool. The puzzles were ok. Nothing too original or complicated. Our GM was great, she reassured us whenever our younger teammates got scared and gave good hints when necessary. DO NOT GO IF YOUR SCARED OF RATS. There’s someone dressed up as a rat and may chase you if you don’t close doors

It has an atmospheric location in an abandoned tube station. We appreciated our attentive and helpful gamemaster. Unfortunately, the game itself is very linear with only one or two puzzles to work on each time, and the early puzzles in the game just aren’t that much fun. One in particular vastly outstayed its welcome. The puzzles get better as they go, building to a fun final puzzle and a fun final actor interaction but it wasn’t enough to build back my enthusiasm.
GM was helpful and sensitive to my request to town down the scares.
Hard
When you book, you’re asked your experience level. We chose “Enthusiast” which was probably a mistake. The effect seemed to be that one particular puzzle was stretched out with a frustrating number of additional steps; it made the game harder in a not-very-fun way. I would probably not advise ticking “enthusiast” when asked.

Small spaces, linear gameplay, and not a lot of puzzles. Our team of five was definitely too big.
Spooky
Might have been scarier but the GM kindly toned down the scares at my request.
