Mark as done to rate

Well known alien hunter and conspiracy theorist, Professor Ross Well lives at 51½ George Street. After years spent collecting, and hunting evidence of extra-terrestrial life, he got his lucky break and came across a crash site up on the moors, complete with a live alien! He brought the alien back to his house with the intention of keeping him, but the mothership has tracked their friend down and arrived to collect him! You begin your mission outside Professor Ross Well’s house – what you will find in there is anyone’s guess! But what you do know is that you only have one hour to return the alien back to the mothership, or our planet will be destroyed!

Where do I even start? Immense. Incredible. Well-themed, the puzzles all fitted the theme wonderfully, and the ending is pure magic!

This room has a massive reputation and it lives up to it. Great themed puzzles, and lots of them. We loved this venue and superb genuine enthusiast host Anne added to our enjoyment. We really got on with the puzzles, all made perfect sense with plenty of wow moments throughout. Amazing build, you’ve got to add it to your list if not already done

This was a fun game that felt lighthearted. There’s some great use of tech in the room that felt like it was all there for a reason rather than for the sake of it. Also some clever mechanics and puzzles too. There’s a lot of work gone into making it atmospheric and the set design is great and not sure they could have done more with the space that it occupies!

Whilst there were some ‘gruesome’ looking elements for a child it didn’t feel scary at all - it felt more lighthearted instead.

We were a little nervous going in because we knew there would be a lot to do as a team of 2, but we thoroughly enjoyed it. Lots of puzzles and we enjoyed working together rather than splitting up the whole time. Great theme.

An ambitious and immersive sci-fi themed room. There's an overwhelming amount of puzzles for a team of 2 to take on despite the extra 15 minutes given to smaller teams

Having seen the reviews, we were apprehensive about this one. As a team of 3, we had an extra 15 minutes because there's a lot to do. But the theming was fantastic, the host was so lovely and great nicely flowing puzzles.

What a beautiful, wonderful room. Very difficult for 2 even with the time extension (and we’re 100+ rooms). GM clued us a fair bit but it was needed to be fair. Still a fair bit to do by the time our clock ran out. Great theme, clever puzzles - just so much to do !
