Mark as done to rate

Permanently Closed - In the middle of no man’s land, where the terrain is barren and unforgiving, lies a secret unconfirmed military compound called Area 15. Conspiracies and rumors surround this place, as some believe it houses extraterrestrial materials gathered from an alien spacecraft that crashed years earlier. But even more believe that alien autopsies were performed there. You have gathered some of those believers to help you uncover the truth of what is actually there. Equipped with a flashlight and a map given to you by another truth seeker, your group sets out on The Extraterrestrial Highway to no man’s land.

Want 100 grand? All you have to do is find the extraterrestrial and take a selfie. This room is a nod to space movies from Star Trek to Toy Story. Sci-fi fans will appreciate all the Easter eggs. Divide and conquer the lab; a crew of four or five can get the job done. We almost made the leaderboard with 11:01 remaining. Our team found proof of life but is that enough for you to believe aliens exist? Shout out to our game master Sonya. She was amazing!

Fun game. Puzzles weren't particularly difficult, minus one or two. Some clues we either missed or didn't understand but we still solved the puzzles involved. Ton of various pop culture references to aliens of various degrees, making the room pretty fun to just find them. Escaped with 20s left as we were trying to find our bonus items, otherwise we probably would've gotten out sooner.

Some really clever puzzles in this room once you get going. It's a fun room with a lot to do and lots of puzzles themed to the room. Bring a clever group as you'll want to have different perspectives to see all the clues.

Very cool mix of puzzles included a fun techy one. It was much more challenging than I thought at first glance, which is a plus to our team. I think this game is being retired soon, so as a sci-fi fan, I loved the references used in the room. I caught: Alien, Star Wars, Star Trek, Independence Day, X-Files, Mork and Mindy, Superman, Toy Story, Signs (?), Futurama, Men in Black, District 9, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and Predator. So much fun. To the designer, a heartfelt Nanu Nanu!

This was fun but it's a friggin' hard room. You gotta bring your 'A' game here. There was 4 of us and we normally like to try without hints or nudges but this one we found we were asking for quite a bit of help as time was running out. I kinda feel this would be best as a 90 min room considering the difficulty but other than that, it was good. Had a number of puzzles we've never seen before. We also did like the theme as we haven't done an alien room before and it was a unique experience for us. GM Sonya was super nice and really did an excellent job guiding us through this one. She was very patient as I'm sure she noticed our frustrations and anxiety ran high while we were running out of time. Would recommend this room for those looking for a good challenge.

Solid extraterrestrial room with tons to do for a team. Puzzles were decently themed and everything made sense. I appreciated that locks were labeled well to what puzzles they went to. Lock and key heavy room. Would recommend for space type movie enthusiasts

Fun room. Bummed we didn’t escape, but enjoyed playing. We made it to the last puzzle when our time was up. Palmer, our GM was great and spent a lot of time with us in the room after going over some of the puzzles and other fun facts about the room.

The room had a lot of puzzles but low immersion. Our group of 4 definitely had lots to do and ended up not making it out since we had just gotten to the last puzzle when time ran out. Overall a decent room especially if you want something difficult, but there could be improvements to the decor, relevance of puzzles, and amount of tech.

Lots of puzzles and difficult enough for escape room lovers

I would recommend this room for any puzzle-lovers; it was just really fun to do! It starts out a bit linear but goes into non-linear quickly. The only thing I wish is that the set looked nicer and was more immersive. I think if they gave it a glow-up, this room would have the space to shine; the vision for the room is great and our group really enjoyed the puzzles! This room also has a lot of goodies for sci-fi lovers.
