Description: Doctor Betsy Smith has spent years investigating sources of unlimited energy within her secret and impenetrable Bunker. The information has reached us that he has finally achieved it, he has discovered a new material which he calls NW6 and intends to sell it on the black market. Your mission will be to recover NW6 before it's too late. We have devised a plan to introduce you inside the Bunker: you will let yourself be captured. Once inside, you will need to work as a team using your wits to get out. Luck.

NW6 Bunker

Escape room

This is a good room and a great example of how an owner showing love to and old room pays off.

The puzzles flowed incredibly well for us. We only needed 2 hints at the beginning: the belts puzzle (never saw belts used like that before, but when finding novel objects we should always remember to try to connect them to the environment), and some cheeky hidden clue on a desk or a chair (probably the only random observation puzzle that somewhat breaks the flow). The puzzles are not necessarily easy, but they're very logical and communicate very well what you need to do through the environment. Nothing jawdropping though. It starts with a well-executed 2-cell prison section, and then continues with the "lab section" where I especially appreciated the verisimilitude of the story within an escape room setting: it's the lab of an amnesiac scientist so she left clues for herself on how to get to the mcguffin.

And AT LAST I have found a room with (something like a) progress bar! Around the beginning, you get a paper detailing how long you should normally spend in the 3 different sections: cells, lab, NW6. It's not super granular: the lab takes like 75%, but it does exactly what it needs to do! It warns you of the big room just around the corner that you need to make time for. In our case, we exited the cells slightly later than expected, so the progress bar put us in alert mode and helped us end with a great result. Wish we had that in London's Gangsters' Treasure (I always forget it's not Gangster's Paradise).

We were told that they are always adding puzzles to this room and keeping it fresh. They were even preparing a not-ready yet puzzle in the starting area. I almost wish I could have played the room at its inception to see how it's evolved. The good use of angles and room positioning(like with the key-on-a-chain puzzle that you have to take from one room to another) makes it seem like everything was planned from the beginning.

Greatly enjoyed this room and the other (Brewery). Lot of fun and flowed well. Clever puzzles and the finish is worthy of the expert rating.  Lots of great rooms in Barcelona and I highly suggest this one be considered on your list of to-do.
