Overview Notes:

We were on time to our game, but due to teammates needing to use the restroom and debriefing prior to game start, our time was docked 8 minutes! Be on time for this adventure, AND leave yourself some extra time. This was my 2nd game in 300+ that actually docked time from the clock.

Game Introduction: We were briefed by our GM in the hallway prior to entry of general rules and basics. Once we were inside, we received a briefing of another nature...

Operator Intro: Exciting - takes you into the story

Theme: Science / Laboratory

Narrative: Survive!

Main room first glance: Wow!

Did Hatch Escape forget to mention.. that WE are the lab rats?! Without giving too much away, prepare to be blown away by a main room set to different proportions. This is a main room unlike any other I have experienced.

Flow: Excellent flow - flawless and coherent

There's a story line! A real, true, fun story line!!! The flow of the room is based around this story line that you're uncovering. At some points multiple puzzles can be solved at once, but take your time and enjoy this!

Puzzles: Well thought of. Intriguing

So many puzzles... Yet most of them stayed on them! Ranging in difficulty from physical to moderate, there is enough to keep children and adults busy - as well as enthusiasts!

Game Strengths:

Fun story line - Beautiful set - Unique use of puzzle elements

Several very tight places to squeeze into - not ADA compliant but does not mention this on website

Method: Other

Quality: Excellent (They have advanced the game, built-in escalation, no answer-disclosing)
