hi-techgreat hosting

This is a sci-fi room with no padlocks or other types of physical locks, progress is made by opening keypad locked doors or using RFID equipped objects.  We found it difficult to start before we found our flow and it's quite easy to overthink some of the problems.  Host was excellently on point and gave us a nudge when we needed it.  The story didn't quite make sense and it felt like a story for a different game but this was good fun.

Reviews by escape room review sites

Playing on a separate occasion, I'd agree with those comments, although I'd add in a note of appreciation for the game having more than one room, good puzzle variety, skilful and entertaining hosts, and a refreshing lack of frustration points - generally whenever you've solved a puzzle, it's clear that you've done so.

Compared to the Casino room I did at the same venue immediately beforehand, the game structure is more linear and the content somewhat easier. Experienced teams will find it easy ...

A decently themed game which was generally enjoyable but was badly let down by a flawed puzzle and a broken lock.
Escape London invite you to travel back in time to a top-secret, 1950s laboratory investigating other-worldly happenings in Roswell. Those little grey folk look friendly...
Highly linear, lots of different and new kinds of puzzles to enjoy in a sci-fi themed adventure. Accessible for beginners.
