60 minutes

The spy-sub HMS Pandora has been decommissioned after its entire crew was lost during a secret mission. Evidence of its previous operations can never fall into enemy hands! Your team needs to use the 60 remaining minutes of life support to dive in, reconfigure the submarine’s controls, access the self destruct function, and escape before it’s too late. Good luck!

quite difficult

Reportedly their hardest room, slightly more challenging than the others but good fun. Half a mark taken off for basic room design, but this is consistent throughout the company.

Simple yet effective set design that made us feel as if we were on the ship. Good range of puzzle styles with varying degrees of difficulty. One of the stronger games that I've played at the Escape franchise.

Nice simple set design but immersive enough to feel like you’re in a sub. You do have to use something more than once, this isn’t mentioned in the briefing so we did waste a bit of time assuming it followed standard ER rules. That’s probably just an us problem though! There’s a couple difficult puzzles but nothing too strenuous, we were told we struggled on the easy puzzles & not the hard ones. One of the better games at Escape Ipswich.

originalbroken tech

I like the concept of the game but sadly on the day some tech was broken, adding time and requiring the host to come in. We requested extra time to allow for this but weren’t given any, which felt unfair.

One of our torches was broken meaning that one player was very hampered by being unable to see properly, making the experience frustrating.

I do think this would be a good room without these set backs, and this was some months ago so hopefully back on track now.
