This game had a genuinely fun and family friendly story. Though it’s very linear the experience of traveling through time was incredibly fun.
Gameplay
This was a fun, easy, room that had a lot of cute aspects that I think a lot of people would enjoy.
Atmosphere
As with all the Escape Game rooms, the set design was amazing. Though the set was a little more basic than a lot of their other rooms. It had a unique aspect that I haven’t seen in many rooms before.
Customer service
As always The Escape Game staff were amazing. They,re fun as game masters, and you can genuinely tell that they are fans of escape room rooms. When you get out, it takes a while to leave because all you really wanna do is talk about unique rooms that you’ve done.
Particularly interesting or different
Yes
Honestly, this room was pretty unique from other rooms that I’ve done before. Though it’s linear, easy, and feels kind of short, the general gameplay was unique
Story
The plot of the story was great! Though I didn’t feel as immersed as a lot of of their other games, the plot and idea was fun.
Difficulty
Easy
This was probably the easiest game that I’ve played at The Escape Game.
Game tech
High tech
Most of their games are pretty high tech. You can tell there’s a lot of technology that goes into the build of each room.

The game room is pretty small and since it’s linear, I feel the more players you have the more boring it may be. So a small party I think is better for this room.
Scary

I don’t think it’s supposed to be scary

The game is easy and seems incredibly child friendly.
Was anything broken?
No
The room was pretty new. There was one part that got a little stuck, but there was nothing damaged. Just a tight fit on a moving part.
Live actors
No
If you don’t include the screen, where the game master can talk to you.
Physically active
Not at all
This room is probably one of their least, physically active rooms. There’s a couple small parts. You may have to move around a little, but that’s it.
Accessibility
Most of their rooms are pretty accessible. This room is flat, not loud and has pretty clear scenery for people that may be visually impaired.
Easy to find location
Yes
Though parking is not great as is most of downtown Atlanta. Finding the location is very easy as there are signs and local parking garages telling you which way to go.
Parking
Medium
There isn’t any street parking really. But there is a large parking garage behind the facility. You just have to pay for it.

Loved this one! Lots of really cool elements and puzzles - teamwork moments, physical challenges, fun props & details. The space is not large. 8 people would be far too many. My group had 5 and I think the space would have been more comfortable with 3-4.

This is probably my new favorite TEG room. The plot is silly, but silly is good as long as everything about the game just leans into it, and that’s exactly what happens here. You are tourists on a time-traveling train and things go wrong (as things are wont to do). You must recover access cards that give the train the ability to travel to various eras and fix the timeline. The only negative for me are the very first two puzzles which are both unclued locks that fall into the “I have this kind of lock, is there anything visible in the environment that could plausibly fit the pattern” type. This is annoying because it is so easy to clue these with just a bit more graphic design. But, that’s the first three minutes, everything else after that flows smoothly. The sets are high quality with good use of video and there’s a good amount of puzzle density packed into the footprint of the room. My only quibble is that there are a few elements inside the “train” which shouldn’t be there until you reach the appropriate era, but this is minor. The game is quite linear (cue arrow of time joke) so I recommend 2-3 players. 4 would fit but would be a lot for this room. The difficulty is on par with TEG’s other offerings, I’d say on the medium side of easy. We had a ton of fun and I would certainly recommend the room.

They had one peice that didn't function as it should however they handled it perfectly as soon as it didn't release they activated the next piece as if it had and didn't miss a beat because of it. Probably the best fix I've seen in a room it was so smooth at the end we actually had to ask if it messed up. Great job to julian!
