Mark as done to rate
ATTENTION. THIS IS NOT A TEST. This is your direct-support Radio Operator reporting the formation of a severe Arctic Storm off the coast of Siberia. All stationed personnel should immediately seek shelter in a class four base or higher. Initiating safety-protocol 118. Commencing auto-lockdown. IMPACT IMMINENT. DISPATCH TERMINATED. The station’s storm vehicle is built to withstand forces of 120 mph winds and is your sole chance at surviving a storm of this caliber. Teeny-weeny problem! – the vehicle has sat dormant for nearly a decade. With no fuel, no battery life, and no access to board without necessary overrides, all recourse of survival is few and fleeting… Will you make it to safety before THE FINAL MELTDOWN?

Loved this room. It was very easy to tell what is a clue/you should interact with and what is just theming. Put together very well and the actor/GM was so funny!
Gameplay
It was great. Everything flowed very well. Fantastic theming, super clear what was a clue and just a prop.

Customer service
So good! Very welcoming and super attentive. Fantastic acting!

Torn between medium and hard. My group was a team of two, and we had solved it in 55 minutes out of our 90 minute limit. LOTs of things to solve but it flowed well and was obvious on what clue went to what lock/code. we only had one nudge and used no hints. But we’ve played 15 rooms together before as a team of just two and have usually had 5-10mins left on the clock in a traditional 60 minute game.

Great production. Lots of puzzles but more in the simpler side allowing for a lot of quick wins. Completed room under 1 hr. Family really enjoyed it. 8.1/10

Excellent room! Just when you think you are close to escaping, there was more. Puzzles were really good and wasn't too challenging. Very immersive.

Combining the breakdown I gave, this is by far the greatest escape room I have ever done. I came in with decent expectations but I was blown away as corny as that sounds. Great actor whose presence only enhanced the experience, great puzzles, omg I wanna relive it again. :3
Gameplay
The gameplay was always fair and there was never any stretches in logic. Compared to the other rooms I have done it felt almost too easy for the difficulty rating it is assigned, they could lower it down to a 7 maybe or even a 6. All the puzzles themselves were extremely fun to do and never too tedious or time consuming, and the solutions were all very creative and new. I love this omg :3
Atmosphere
The vertical incline and decline is a rare yet amazing piece to make this room feel very immersive. I was not expecting the puzzles to be this deep. The puzzles also all fit what was happening and felt logical to a real base except for 2 of them but even so, most rooms have 0 of the puzzles make sense story wise rlly. Idk maybe that’s. Stretch but ye. The decoration blew it out of the park, fucking great dude. The ice and final area are by far the standout pieces, being able to actually go inside the car as well is awsome.
Customer service
By far the greatest employee to customer experience I have ever had in the last 5 years. The actors presence never felt corny or forced, the pacing was perfect and he was always funny, his hints were always in character and made sense as to why he was saying them, and he was a really fun guy after the game ended. I love him man I hope he gets a billion dollar raise.

Fun, really cool effects, great theming and ambiance. It was a loooot for a group of two so I definitely see why 3+ is what is recommended, but it was still a great room to us, just not our favorite! The GM was very helpful

Great room with multiple rooms, a live actor at points, and great effects. Hosts were great. Puzzles were fairly simple but were very logical and signaled well. Would recommend
