The internet has gone wild. A well known blogger and conspiracy theorist is believed to have infiltrated a top secret government research laboratory in Australia’s outback, the infamous ‘Area 48.’ Many people believe he’s a crazy person and dismiss his wild ideas. However, a huge group of his closest followers want answers as he’s gone completely dark and has not been heard from in days. You have been hired by his followers to infiltrate Area 48 yourself, discover what they are hiding and hopefully break him out.

Super clean room in its design and execution, Mach 2 would definitely be my pick when heading to Escape Hunt. A quirky storyline mixed with a couple puzzles I hadn’t seen before made this one really unique. Not a huge space but designed in a way that encourages exploration and gives the player a lot to focus on. Can see why this one is marketed as the hardest of the bunch as there were a few tricky solves but nothing outrageous. Overall a super solid room created by people that know what they’re doing.

The newest edition to the Escape Hunt line-up and a really solid addition. The puzzles flowed nicely with some non-linearity and a couple of tricky solves. There were no egregious leaps in logic or anything like that, and a list to keep us on track with what we were trying to find, big tick. The set started out a little basic but was a bit more developed and interesting the further we got in. Overall a pretty good time and the best of the rooms I've played here.

For the most part this room was reasonably well executed. We blitzed our way through the first area, and most of the second area too, although were disappointed to see a note on a keypad that had been broken, telling us to call the GM when we have the answer. A few pieces of the set decoration in all were starting to wear out too, which makes it feel as though they may be related to the puzzles (or once were, and no longer are) A reasonably enjoyable experience, but could definitely be better.

Flows relatively well, but one back and forth threw us a bit

A keypad was broken within the game, which ended up slowing us down. Made us unsure as to whether the code we were trying to use was for this pad or something else, or another padlock etc.

A fun theme, few glitches in some of the technical aspects and had to have the attendant come in to reset something but a nice flow to the puzzles. We enjoyed it
