Paradox | The Incredible Time Machine

Rating: 4/5 - High tech, puzzle heavy, timey wimey fun (though it's my least favorite here) Pros: ➕Nearly all tech, no padlocks ➕Great set with so many custom props and electronics ➕Very puzzle heavy and non-linear ➕Puzzles were challenging but not too unfair or illogical ➕Huge variety of puzzles, I feel like there's something for everyone to enjoy ➕More than one room to explore ➕Many tactile interactions, more than just pushing buttons (though there was a lot of that too) ➕Great use of lighting and sound effects that add to the atmosphere ➕Things were bright enough to not require flashlights ➕Some interactions required teamwork ➕My GM (Kelsey) was super friendly and helpful when needed Room for improvement: ➖There was nothing to write notes on ➖I'd prefer if so many of the puzzles didn't have step by step written directions. They were helpful, just wish the puzzles were better clued so that they weren't needed. ➖A bit light on the narrative for my tastes, there's not much story after the beginning ➖The set was less interesting than their other 2 rooms ➖Non-linearity can be a con if you don't want to miss out on puzzles I recommend 4-6 due to the non-linear gameplay. Some puzzles require two sets of hands. They allow single bookings if you call to book, but the GM will need to come in to help. I did complete it solo with hints/nudges but I would not recommend it to most players as it can be overwhelming. My ranking of rooms here starting with my favorite: 1. Frost Base Z (my favorite set) 2. Ruins of the Mystic Temple (my favorite puzzles) 3. Paradox

This is a very good room. Easily in my top five ever. We only had two people and we didn't get to the last 4 or 5 puzzles. Unless you are expert level you probably need 4 players and 6 would fit in this room easy. Puzzles were fun and non-linear with several options of what to work on at a time. The technology used is top level that I have seen. Frost base Z at this location is also excellent for a slightly easier escape.

One of the greatest rooms I’ve ever played. Each puzzle was exciting, logical, and flowed perfectly. I loved the variety of puzzles and the way that the clues translated to the physical mechanisms. Each clue I am tracing back while reflecting on this room was clever and fun and just all around scratched that escape room satisfaction itch. Loved it!

The room was well designed with the puzzles were a nice challenge but not too far of a stretch so I appreciate that!

A very good puzzle room, in my opinion the best at Rabbit Hole. Less set driven, but a solid amount of unique puzzles set this one apart. My favorite at this location.

Such an amazing atmosphere and fun puzzles!! Careful to not overthink some things but others I wish there was a little more direction. Luckily our game master was on top of it delivering hints for clarification! Loved how it started out linear and then bloomed into multiple puzzles where we could split up and work individually! A really fun and tech heavy puzzle

Love Rabbit Hole rooms! This one reminded me a Doctor Who a bit. It was fun with unique puzzles. One of the room was narrow and insanely hot. GM wasn't sure why but apologized for it. Would highly recommend!

Nice room. Had two newbies with us, and this probably isn’t a good room for first-timers. Still, it was challenging and a lot of fun. We escaped with seconds to spare.

This was the second game we played at Rabbit Hole, and we did like this one better than the Temple game. A solid escape room that I have no problem recommending if you are in the area. We had fun!

The production value of these rooms make them stand out from anything we have done before!! I loved the story and atmosphere of this room
