Absolutely one of the best escape rooms out there. 4 people felt like the perfect amount.

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!

One of my favorite games ever! Everything was so creative and it had so many unique puzzles I hadn’t seen before. I am so impressed by all of the details and story throughout the game. I can’t stop thinking about all of the cool surprises.

Definitely doable with 2 people but I wouldn’t have more than 6. There are are few moments with non-linear puzzles.

Super fun! The puzzles were so unusual and really stretched out my group of four. Our GM, Bryan, was rad and did a great job working with us without getting in the way and staying in the universe of the room. Very cool, unique escape room.

Super fun!!! Lots of really great moments and payoffs that make it really rewarding. Also I love seeing a story that is humorous and goes through the entire room.
