Star Trek Discovery: Damage Control [prev. Star Trek: Quantum Filament]

Rating: 3/5 - Decent room for small groups (2-3 enthusiasts) and Star Trek or sci-fi fans. Pros: ➕Lots of tech, no padlocks ➕Some Star Trek Discovery references (specific to Discovery, not just Star Trek) ➕Puzzles were a good difficulty for our group of 2, flow was good Meh: ➖Besides the screens, the set felt a bit too generic and not particularly high quality ➖Nothing in the room was particularly cool or unique ➖Ending wasn't very climactic ➖Could've done more to tie in with the franchise, the puzzles felt generic Cons: ➖Touchscreens were laggy and not responsive enough ➖Too many puzzles were just entering digits, they could've been more creative with the touchscreens/tech ➖Game master wasn't very responsive and the initial clues provided were for things we already did Update: My ranking of all Escapology rooms I've played (multiple locations). 1. A Pirate's Curse - 3.5/5 2. Scooby-Doo - 3.5/5 3. Lost City - 3.5/5 4. Star Trek: Quantum Filament - 3/5 5. Th3 C0D3 - 3/5

Fun, highly tech focused room that leans into the sci-fi experience. While not as Star Trek specific as some may hope, there are fun Easter eggs for fans of Discovery. Star Trek knowledge is not needed to complete the room. Lovely gamemaster, and a welcoming facility. Most puzzles involve interaction with a computer interface. A few mechanical elements for those who like to work with their hands. Pro: High immersion into a sci-fi outer space world. Puzzles integrated well with the narrative. Cons: Puzzles fit standard expectations with no big "wow" moments. Missed opportunity for more star trek franchise connections. A lot for our group of two to do, but a big group might struggle with people standing around waiting on others.

Had a stellar time! It’s a tech-focused room with lots of screens that change over time, depending on which puzzle you’re on. I’m not even a big Star Trekkie, but I really enjoyed it as a sci-fi spaceship experience. I’m sure there were references I missed, although I’m not sure there were a lot, compared to their Scooby Doo room. There was one puzzle we didn’t like that we didn’t even technically solve as the room manually overrides the puzzle if you don’t finish it within a certain amount of time. The GM seemed to not know how to solve it either when we asked, so that was perplexing? Other than that, love how different stations make the group feel like they’re various crew members on the Discovery! Some puzzles felt unique as well, even though the last couple challenges weren’t as novel. I do think this one will be more hit or miss with people, but as far as I’m concerned, it should live long and prosper!

This is a good room for Star Trek fans. It is one of the better games from Escapology. It is a bit small and linear, so I would suggest 2 to 3 people only in this room. It does have some nice tech and the set design was nice as well. It is a solid game, but nothing to get too excited about.

This was probably our favorite room of this Escapology location thus far! Everything flowed so smoothly, and we got through the puzzles amazingly! There was one part we definitely didn’t expect! Great experience overall! Escapology Orland Park has been a pretty awesome company as a whole from the three rooms we’ve done so far!

Very high production quality. All puzzles and solutions were appropriate to the story genre. Excellent room.
