Steampunk: Alternatywna Rzeczywistość [ Steampunk: An Alternate Reality ]

This was our third Escape Time room, and we were glad that we had warmed up with some easier ones ahead of Steampunk: An Alternate Reality. Before entering the first room, our GM filled us in on the backstory. We were two orphans who had been adopted by a famous inventor who had mysteriously vanished. He had asked that in the event of his death (or disappearance) that we should find his secret lab and destroy his research so that it doesn’t end up in the wrong hands. He didn’t, however, leave easy instructions for how to do this. Stepping into the first room, we were faced with several potential starting points. This experience is predominantly non-linear, although at specific points, tasks must be done in a certain order. There were 16+ puzzles to solve across the 75-minute runtime, and these required us to be agile and communicate effectively. As we worked our way through the four distinct rooms, I soaked up the steampunk aesthetic (which I personally love). The theme was right up my street, with each subsequent room offering its own surprises. We were told that one of the rooms had recently received an upgrade, which showed as it looked fantastic. One of my favourite elements was actually the hint system, which was so much fun. I don’t want to spoil how it works, but it made the room feel even more immersive. I’d definitely recommend a team of 3 or 4, if possible. We made it out just over the time, but given the fact that it was just two of us and the sheer number of puzzles, we were pretty pleased with our performance. A great room that challenged us and offered some diverse challenges.

Very cool room with tough riddles. The staff there ist very nice. I highly recommend to visit this room when you are in Gdansk.

It is a really hard room. But we had fun. It was well decorated and many interesting riddles. The GM were also very nice.

Steampunk was an incredibly interesting escape room, located on a relatively large area. It features numerous puzzles beautifully integrated into the steampunk ambiance, making it a visually and intellectually stimulating experience. The room is better suited for advanced players due to its challenging elements, which might be difficult for beginners to solve. The puzzles fit seamlessly into the theme, enhancing the immersive experience. The room is designed to allow multiple tasks to be solved simultaneously, making it ideal for larger groups. Technically, the room was well-executed, though we found ourselves pressed for time. We played with just two people and barely managed to complete it within the time limit. Despite the difficulty, the room was very enjoyable, with the steampunk atmosphere consistently maintained from start to finish. Overall, it's a highly recommended, challenging, and captivating escape room.
