Civilians are going missing. Rumour has it that they are being experimented on at an abandoned soviet facility. Anyone who points the blame on the higher ups vanishes the next day, now you’re next up to disappear from society. Lucky for you though, your captor has other plans. Go along with it, and help them expose the authorities before you become just another disappearance.

In this game we are test subjects for a secret Russian lab. The two GMs (I don't know why they needed two, except for the story line) were excellent, particularly the security guard who kept his act and accent up the whole time we were at Hounds (about 5 hours) including when my partner bumped into him in the toilet. He was genuinely hilarious.The room itself is excellent - some introductory warm up puzzles before you get into the nitty gritty of the game where the story and styling changes. The theming is excellent, the puzzles flow and the ending makes for a nice finale. Hounds really do know how to make a game end with a bit of pace and pizzazz.

The intro to the game didn’t work which meant we had to come out of the game and restart. This ruined the excitement of the games fun start feature!
Reviews by escape room review sites
You can’t always judge a company by its lobby area, but it’s always an encouraging start to walk into a venue that looks atmospheric, stylish and welcoming. Hounds Escape not only did well on that initial impression, but then built on it with their pre-game briefings, which for both this and their other game were humorously and energetically delivered in character.
For Questionable Ethics, our host was wild-eyed and Russian, and stuck to his role with gusto before, during and after our game. Th...
An unmissable game which we loved playing. Hounds Escape Experiences are competing with the best of the best and holding their own. A fantastic game which is a must play!
