Lab Rat

Went with 6 people and it was perfect. Was challenging for the more experienced players but still had wiggle room for the less experienced players to solve some puzzles. The only reason to not go is that every escape room you attend afterwards will have you wishing it was as good as lab rat.

A really neat and different take on lab rats. A large area to cover and neat elements.

We had lots of fun. A bit more of an old school mechanical room but the puzzles were all fun and we even got in a few Ah Ha! Moments when we realized something we overlooked at first. We also played their latest room The Ladder just before. If I had to only pick one I would go with The Ladder but I thoroughly enjoyed both games.

Phenomenal. One of the best times I’ve had in an escape room. Hatch’s reputation precedes itself and I was blown away by not only the set design but the sheer amount of puzzles and quality of them as well. I did it with a larger group than usual but that heightened the stakes and made solving things even more exciting. With a theme that I’ve never seen replicated and a room that spans surprisingly far into the building, Lab Rat is a must-experience room for any fan of escaping.

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).

Good atmosphere. Fun puzzles, some clever. Running around in a place in which everything seems to be bigger made me feel like a child again.
