Mark as done to rate

The zombie apocalypse moved surprisingly fast. It’s been months since a nuclear accident created a mutated strain of the common cold, unleashing an undead epidemic that spread like wildfire. Billions are undead, society as we know it is gone, and the last survivors huddle in colonies where every day, the living learn to envy the dead. One by one, the last bastions of humanity are being overrun. But there are rumours of a cure. Wandering madmen, insane with desperation spread word of a research facility that might be mankind’s last hope, hidden in the most frozen reaches of the deadliest place on earth. Canada. You and your team are the human race’s last chance. Infiltrate the polar outpost, find the cure, and release it to save humanity. But be quick. Zombies eat your brain in 60 minutes. …They’re reliable like that

The Cure For The Common Zombie is a solid escape room 🧟‍♀️ I really enjoyed the beginning of this room! The puzzles were fun to complete. However, that initial momentum was lost towards the end of the game; I didn’t get that feeling of urgency that one would expect in a zombie setting. We had some finicky tech moments, but nothing that detracted from the overall enjoyment of the game. SIDE NOTE: If saving the world from zombies has you famished, there is a really great Hakka restaurant across the street called Hakka Horizon. The steamed momos and chilli chicken are 👌🏽

My husband and I ended up with very little time left mostly because we spent too long trying to solve an ambiguous puzzle without a hint. Other than that, the room was very solid, and the set was neat. The flow wasn't great, but we were able to move along pretty well.

The GM got a little condescending after some miscommunication. I was being dumb, but I didn't appreciate being treated like an idiot.

Lovely atmospheric room, lots of places to explore and find clues from. We did sequence break at one point accidentally but the room still worked and was fine =)
