What an absolutely amazing room, the design of the room was great and the puzzles were so satisfying to solve! Our gamemaster Aaron played along with us through out the room acting as a narrator from the heavens, interjecting with passing comments or funny quips in response to what we were doing in the room. His involvement in the game made an already great room into an amazing room. (He also sounded like the narrator from Stanley Parable) Definitely a must do room!

Great room. Interesting and just the right amount of content. The game master Simon gave it some extra spice and guided us just the right amount.

We did this room split into 2 teams versing eachother doing the same rooms parallel to each other. The staff/GM were amazing! They really got you immersed into the game and story and really made you feel part of the story! Had so much fun with the GM narrating alone. The puzzles were fun and was our first room to have non-linear puzzles.

The theming in this room is exceptionally well done. Every detail feels intentional, and the props make perfect sense within their spaces. The puzzles are seamlessly woven into the environment, avoiding the common pitfall where challenges feel tacked on simply for the sake of having puzzles. Adding to the experience, we were fortunate enough to have Aaron as our game master — the same host who guided us through The Game back in November 2023. He was sensational then, and nothing has changed. Aaron brings an infectious enthusiasm to his role that truly enhances the overall experience. As with all the game masters we've encountered at Next Level Escape, his passion and energy play a huge part in making their rooms so memorable.

To get to completion I would say it was on the medium side, the extra side quests put it up to the hard bracket

We did this in a team of three. A very nicely done room overall. Has been on our "to do" list for a long time, but it's always been booked out. We can certainly see why this has been the case. The positive reviews are correct. A nicely balanced room, with lots of beautifully done puzzles. Themed very well.
Gameplay
Non-linear puzzles meant several things happening at once to keep our team members busy.

At one point, we thought perhaps something didn't trigger. The GM picked up on this & worked it into the game well.

One puzzle was difficult for hearing impaired, requiring a listening to speech with lots of background noise. Thankfully, we had members of our team without hearing impairment who could perform this task.

The room was the right level of challenge for a large all-ages group. Perhaps a little too heavy on the vocal narrative elements. Aaron did a great job hosting us. Decor could have been a little more developed - even just a few more books. ‘Twas fun. Completed core components in 20min. Took the optional parts a bit more leisurely.
