‘The Rubicon’ is a 90-minute room designed for 4-8 players, but we played as a team of 2. From the moment we entered the first room, until we hit the button on the timer as we left - we were captivated, surprised and wowed by how different this experience was. It is inspired by classic puzzle video games (think Portal), and as such we came across lots of challenges we hadn’t experienced in an escape room before. There were unusual locks and mechanisms, mind-bending reveals and so many satisfying and innovative puzzles. It is a challenging room that’s more geared towards enthusiasts, and as such there is a lot to get through. Hints are available, but even with them the room has a 35% completion rate. We managed to finish in just over 96 minutes, which we were actually really pleased with. It’s an unmissable experience that subverts the norm, throwing out the escape room rulebook and delivering a refreshing, surprising and memorable 90+ minutes. It featured so many puzzles and interactions that I’ve never experienced before, and is a real gem in the UK escape room scene. Literally the only criticism we had, was that one portion of the game is very dark and some may struggle with the low visibility. Other than that, it was sheer perfection. If it isn’t already on your Morty Wishlist, I’d recommend getting over there to play it ASAP.
