Your team of fellow scientists have been working tirelessly to create a vaccine for the fatal CYE disease. Everyone believes that you are on the cusp of defeating it. Unfortunately your work has taken a turn for the worse and you have all managed to contract the virus.
There are two options:
Either sit around and let it take you or redouble your efforts and create a vaccine.
This is not your only problem. After creating the vaccine you must find a way to defeat the lock down on the laboratory. The quarantine timer is set to 60 minutes, after which the room and all traces of your work will be incinerated. You must do this if the rest of humanity is to benefit from your work.
Get your white coat and your safety goggles on as you prepare for Contagion.... Our first themed game for Glasgow, Contagion is also our first multi-room live escape game. It will demand outside the box thinking with an interesting array of problem solving, code-breaking and other various puzzles.

We have played a lot of escape rooms and we definitely prefer the independent escape rooms, the chain rooms just don't cut it. We did not get this room and did not enjoy it.
This room is inside an active school. You walk through the school with kids in classrooms to get to the escape room. Very odd indeed. This room also had an internal window into the school corridor which the students sat on and we spent the whole game listening to petty childish squabbles and arguments about fornite. Not an ideal location for an escape room when you want to be immersed in the story. The room itself is tiny with basic puzzles. You can see there has been an attempt to make this game stand out but they've basically just crowbar'd in some irrelevant tech.
This was a fun room, our main complaint was that it felt like we were given a bit too much information at the start. There weren’t loads of tactile interactive elements so this room was less about searching and props than it was about logic and puzzling.
Humanity is once again in peril, this time from an epidemic that's swept the globe and left your team as the last scientists on Earth. Fortunately there is an antidote hidden somewhere in a laboratory, if you can reach it in time.
The Escape franchise has spread to something like 14 different cities in the UK now, with a couple more on the way, so they must be doing something right. I've now played six of their games, and they tend to follow a straightforward format based around a mostly linear...
