I went into this without sleep and jet lagged. Did it with my girlfriend and her friend. Unfortunately didn’t make it, I think we would’ve had a better chance well rested. Puzzles were clever

The set and the concept were great, but I think I was missing something from the execution. Very much a technical room, but I wanted the puzzles to connect to the objective more. It felt like our objective wasn’t very clear, and the puzzles weren’t connected to anything, it was just opening various things til you got to the end. That said- we still had fun (just 2 of us in the room- I would have 3-4 max), I was just hoping for more with such a great concept!

Solid, not too special. Agreeing with some other reviews that puzzles were not really connected and felt random. Story was nothing really and there was no ending. Just pop the final piece in and the staff came in to let us out. Nice effects, props, and some satisfying hands on puzzles tho. Not disappointed! Just not wowed.

Pretty fine room overall but didn’t really grip me. The story is pretty bare-bones and the theme/setting doesn’t make a ton of sense. The puzzles are reasonable and fun but pretty same-y, there weren’t many unique memorable moments. Exceptionally linear, don’t bring more than 2-3 people. 3/5

7/10 in difficulty. We escaped in 50 min (2 people). We had some troubles getting started because we couldn't find the one gadget that jumpstarted the puzzles. Not one of my favorite rooms because all the puzzles felt random and more fidgety than brain-stimulating. They all felt random too and not connected to the story. It just felt like a room of random puzzles, and it didn't feel like there was any story progression or logic. We wish there could've been some riddles or words to guide us on what to do next, but it was pretty much a guess where these objects go kind of feel. It's pretty interactive and hands on, and to my surprise, there were no combinations and locks at all. I did like how one or two puzzles had multiple parts to it and were connected to one another rather than all the puzzles being disjoint. The staff was friendly, but a little dismissive. They seemed to want to get us in and out of the establishment as quickly as possible even though they were not busy at all (we were the only party there at that hour). There was no time to debrief the room, provide feedback, ask any questions, etc., unlike other escape room experiences I've had. For the price, I don't think it was worth it. I think there might be better and friendlier escape room establishments in the city.

A smaller room with a moderate amount of easy-medium, linear puzzles suitable for a party of 3-4 (totally doable with 2 players if experienced). The room design/setting was pretty nice, although there was not much of theming or back story. (The pre-apocalypse back story did not translate into the puzzles/flow). The puzzles were overall fun and of good variety, maybe just one of them would take slightly more effort to crack. This room is easier, less busy, and more mechanical/older than Carbon 3708 (the other room in this location). Experienced players might not find it to be too stimulating, but our friends who were doing escape room for the first time had a great time. Would highly recommend for beginners!

This game was frustratingly close to being great but it’s just a soulless, good room. It’s fine. The game started on time and the staff was nice enough. We were led into a 300 sq ft room decorated to look like a bunker: wood walls pained grey with electromagnetic boxes lining the walls. It was good enough. The issue was with the theming. We had to endure a voiceover explaining how zombies took over or something. That was the last of the theme. From then on we plugged things into things, spun wheels, matched symbols but to what end? It would take two seconds to add some context explaining how we’re synthesizing a cure. “Spin the wheel to align the genome. Mix the cure ingredients. Boot up the sequencing computer.” Give us anything. I have a suspicion that the developers originally planned context but either years passed and props broke management had a falling out. Either way, it totally sapped the fun out of the game. Other than that though, it was above average. No dumb puzzles, no clues needed, extremely anticlimactic ending.
No traditional locks so that was great. Puzzles were very intuitive but I don’t think they were necessarily fun. You complete a puzzle, a door pops open. You do another puzzle. Another door pops open. I love how linear and straightforward everything was, but I never felt excited about doing a puzzle.
Good set design, horrible story. Whoever built this stopped 90% through. There’s a zombie outbreak and I think we’re synthesizing a cure but you wouldn’t know it. It’s just busy work that lacks a theme. The set is pretty but they really dropped the ball with why we’re doing what we’re doing.
Professional, cold, efficient. The New York way.

A good room from a new-to-me company. A fairly typical post-apocolyspe/sci-fi game. A very good time :).
Novel. Pretty classic puzzles. One dexterity puzzle was a hair frustrating
Well executed. The environment was immersive.
The GM on duty let me walk in as a solo (much appreciated) on a random Friday. Excellent.

The story was a bit light, but the stakes were properly set.
