Timeliner: Train Through Time

This was our second room of the night here. We thought we weren’t going to make it out but with a little help from our GM Lemon we were able to get out! We thought harder than The Depth one but a great challenge for the three of us. Some puzzles were more time consuming than difficult.

This is another good room for people to start out at. It’s completely linear so it’s a good way to complete all types of puzzles.

This was a fun room. I’ve done a few rooms that involve a train and this is the best one. There was a good balance of dexterity and lock puzzlesl all puzzles made sense. I love the dexterity in their games!

Fun with some surprises

Was a little wary of an escape room in an outdoor mall offering public escape rooms. We arrived rather late in the evening and managed to do two rooms with a private party. Room would fit small to medium groups, anything more might get to be a little crowded. Story is somewhat stereotyical time travel narrative but is executed well enough in a slightly larger setting of a train. Each time period you jump to offers only a few puzzles per, but still interesting and well done enough. Puzzles aren't too hard but challenging enough to be interesting. Overall an interesting room that was a bit of a surprise.

Well, it was “about time” my team and I played Timeliner: Train Through Time! We were super excited to play this one because we heard a lot of great things about this room and the unique theming and quality of taking a Timeliner through time. Unfortunately, coming from playing Cosmic Crisis right before, it was a slight letdown in terms of satisfaction. Primarily because it was fairly easy, the ending seemed anti-climactic, and this room relied heavily on screens that I felt took away from certain parts of Timeliner. But don’t let that discourage you though! Timeliner still has a lot to offer, especially if you’re interested in the theming and the idea of a train through time. I admit, there were 5 of us on our team and we have played a lot of escape rooms, so it may just be a slight bias as to why we finished as fast as we did. I would recommend a team of 2-4 players, depending on your confidence and skill level, so that y’all can thoroughly enjoy your experience being immersed in the Timeliner. This room is linear, and I would rate this escape room as Easy to Medium depending on how many escape rooms you’ve played and how well your team works together. Timeliner wasn’t necessarily my favorite at this location, but it wasn’t the worst by any means. The theming itself and the idea behind a Timeliner train that travels through time was very intriguing and cool! If you’re interested in a high tech, futuristic themed escape room, then I would recommend this escape room to you.

Set design was great but felt the overall flow was anticlimactic

Super cool theme! Cool use of screens. Puzzle rating difficulty was a 7/10, but it was kinda easy. Overall had a great time :)

This game is so unique and fun! I loved the personal details throughout, you can tell they put so much into the details. The game play was fun and made sense, fairly linear. We had Katie for this game and she was a joy!
