Mark as done to rate

Lab Rat takes place in a laboratory where giant rats are doing odd experiments on human beings, specifically you! The somewhat unhinged Ratkenstein, a doctoral student in the field of human intelligence (or, in his estimation, the lack thereof), has tasked you with completing a series of tests and puzzles. If you succeed, he can finally write his dissertation. If you fail, he’s going to put you and your friends in the old test-subject chipper (like a wood chipper, but for test subjects!). You’ll have one hour to complete the tests and attempt to get out of the laboratory for good, before Ratkenstein turns you into mulch!

This was an incredibly enjoyable room. The puzzles were unique, thematic, and an appropriate level of difficulty. The set was incredible with very high production value. The GM was engaging and friendly. The only (minor) complaints were that the instructions/intro were a bit too long, and we never received a confirmation or instructions before the date of our booking. I would definitely book another experience at Hatch.

A charming room that forces a shift in perspective that feels incredibly unique. I know many people say 4 is the right amount, but we comfortably managed it with 2, so if you have a smaller group and you’re feeling wary, I say go for it. The theming was unlike any room I’ve done before, and the space felt immersive, without anything feeling extraneous. Thomas, our game guide, was a delight.

Im glad I read nothing about this game. Truly awesome. Whimsical, silly and challening, this is a traditional escape room firing on all cylinders. You feel like you're in a new world, solving real puzzles in that world, and racing against the clock - there is a LOT to do! Despite two small mechanical errors toward the end, I walked away enriched from the experience and feeling completely satisfied that all the hype is well-deserved.

One of the very few escape rooms that lives up to the hype and can truly be considered a "cannot miss" one of a kind room. A MUST for any true escape room fan. Everything was meticulously crafted and we had an absolute blast. One suggestion - the room says it is not scary at all, and is designed for 8+. It is not "scary" per se but there are some jump scares and some of the design elements are pretty "creepy" for kids who are only 8. I would recommend caution in taking kids that young - we had two 9 year olds who were definitely creeped out. (But they also loved the room).

THIS ROOM!!!!! It’s been on my bucket list for YEARS and I finally get to check it off!! This room really had it all! So many fun puzzles, so much to do, and soooo many elements. The one thing I’ll say is that it’s clear there have been people who have messed around in the past because there were a loooooot of in-game precautions that kept being relayed by the GM over the speaker. It kinda distracted from the game because we would just be trying something out and then they’d come on the speaker and explain why we shouldn’t touch something, but even with that, it was still so great!

It was a very fun room I have done by Hatch Escapes! I appreciate the host for helping us when we were lost! I hope to come back and finished their last room!

One of those rooms where everything — set design, story, puzzles— clicks together to form an immensely satisfying whole. Add in a great sense of humor and excellent, attentive GM-ing and I can see why this has managed to stay in the TERPECA rankings for seven straight years. (To set expectations: the game is originally from 2018, and its current ranking in the TERPECA 200s feels about right. It is a delightful game that absolutely deserves to be celebrated, but don’t expect the epic scale of the newer or higher ranked TERPECA finalists.)

Accessibility

Somebody color-blind would be unable to complete certain puzzles. At least one player has to be able to climb a ladder. One area would probably be inaccessible to a plus-size person.
