Mark as done to rate

You and a team of scientists have been commissioned to fly to Tiki Island to evaluate and collect DNA samples from the experiments at Renaissance Laboratories. The executive council at Renaissance reported that they lost communication with the onsite lab two weeks ago. They are concerned that after investing years and millions in their research it will all be irrecoverable if it is not retrieved soon. The last transmission they received mentioned the accidental injection of an exponential growth hormone in one of the lab's experiments. Your group has been advised to arrive, collect the items on the list, and get off the island before sunset. It is imperative to remain within the compound's perimeter as the indigenous population is still quite a mystery. Good luck!

Solid room with interesting puzzles. Challenging but not so hard that we got frustrated. Three seasoned enthusiasts got out with no clues

The storyline was very good. The puzzles were challenging and creative. Love the fact that the room was not linear and we could divide and conquer.

A gem of an escape room. The highlight was definitely the start which is one of my favorite starts to any room I’ve ever done. Consistently the room provided parallel paths which was appreciated for our group of experienced players. Looking forward to doing more rooms at this location in the future

Very entertaining room. Theming was good, but if you're obsessed with minute details there was some wear and tear but I don't think that detracted from the story. Did this with 5 friends and it was a good room to have a lot of people with. Puzzles were creative and weren't the norm that I see a lot.

One of the best rooms I have ever played. I think I like Last Vampire in Reading more but you can’t go wrong here either. Excellent mechanics and puzzles.

Awesome room! I booked it thinking I was gonna be on a deserted beach island then I rad the description and realized I was totally wrong. No big deal it was still awesome! Lots of puzzles and things to do. Was always able to find something to work on and didn’t feel completely stuck at any point.
