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!

What an excellent and unique game. Definitely one of my favorites. Our GM Jesse had the best vibe and was just fantastic. The game itself was one of the most immersive ones I’ve ever done. Some really fun moments. I wish I could go again! Took our 13-year-old nephew and he was able to solve quite a few puzzles we couldn’t. All around great room.

Wow! So much fun

This one was on my wishlist for a long time as I'd heard great things for years. Luckily got a good time slot to do it on my birthday! The theme was super fun and well done, with plenty of puns and tongue in cheek jokes. There were some very unique and unexpected elements, some fun surprises, and just overall very well done and deserving of all the awards and high ratings. Our game master Tyler was excellent and he threw in a sweet message in the credits. Can't wait to come back and experience Hatch's other offerings.

Gameplay

Excellent flow, used the entire space, fun and unique elements and puzzles.

Atmosphere

Set design perfectly fit the theme, everything looked clean and bright.

Customer service

Tyler was awesome! The few hints we needed were subtle and not spoilery.

Particularly interesting or different

Yes

Immersive, fun tech and features.

Story

Every element was used well. The story and puzzles really brought out the silliness in our group.

Difficulty

Medium

Somewhat linear, but really just need to observe and communicate. The hardest part was realizing what clues correspond with which puzzles.

Game tech

Mechanical

Most of the puzzles were mechanical, but the lights and sounds made for a great ambiance.

Ideal number of players

5

4-6 is probably ideal so everyone can contribute and have something to do.

Scary

Rated PG-13 for some references to substance use.

No

Everything worked perfectly.

Live actors

No

Physically active

Not at all

Most of it was running around the space (like rats in a maze), but nothing really out of the ordinary. If you're an experienced enthusiast, you may notice one common rule omitted from the intro.

Accessibility

There were a couple of narrow spaces and some mobility/reach required, so as long as at least one member of your group can do that, its fine.

Easy to find location

Yes

Parking

Medium

On a Sunday evening, not as bad as expected, though there are several apartments in the area.

My group of six felt just right. Most rooms that many would be stepping on each other, but there was plenty of space to spread out and have everyone searching for clues.
