Ok so you have heard this is a matter of National Security but have not been able to find out the exact details till now.
Well, it’s all a bit embarrassing really – a bit of a blunder. Some damn fool has accidentally set off some blasted Nuclear Weapons. We need you to deactivate them before the final launch sequence.
Everything you need we believe is in the Nuclear Bunker itself but it's too radioactive to go in person so you will be helping remotely using our top of the range army-bots.
There are some accompanying videos on the website.

This game is an adaptation of our Teambuilding game which we charge £17+VAT for plus room hire with a minimum of 8 players typically. It was largely designed by Ace Game Designer Jane Norris and adapted by David Bosworth and his partner into Telescape (and they've done a great job). She (Jane) is currently out of the escape game design game and returned to schooling so maybe one of the few chances to play one of her creations (with some input from myself and my team). It's been played and enjoyed by many corporates and schools and hen and stag parties. You now have a chance to play at the great price of just £20 for a team.

Interesting (and big) space to explore. Unfortunately it was a bit light on puzzles.
We really liked the 3D puzzle. One puzzle unleashed a horn of plenty of other puzzles but they had to be solved in a linear fashion and except from the big puzzle at the end, they were quick to run through.
It all centered around a pdf of text telling us how to translate bits of puzzles. We love a translation puzzle but this was translation puzzle on translation puzzle and then another translation puzzle.
We missed the 360 degree view you usually get with telescape games. This seems like a physical space we would like to have explored more.
All in all a fun time, but we would like to have seen more diversity of puzzles and more puzzles.
Family game night with grandparents and teenagers, we all took part and really enjoyed it. Very clever game we all played it together.
Played over 2 days (you can start and stop this game and it picks up where you left off).
Great plot and well thought out game. The puzzles are logical and satisfying when you figure them out. A very enjoyable way to spend an evening and keep your mind active! Would recommend.
Challenging game which we played over 3 households and were able to see what others were doing. Good mix of interactive tasks. Great fun!
We really enjoyed this game! We played across 3 households - the game allows you to operate individually or you could play via a shared screen on Messenger if you prefer. The puzzles are interactive, clever and extremely well thought-out, unlike some games I've played, from other companies, where clues seem to have no logic to them. I fully recommend this game!
A great escape room, we played across 3 households and it worked great. You can see what the other players are doing which is fab

Armageddon is a point-and-click game set in Kelvedon Hatch nuclear bunker. Those familiar with the location may recognise that that’s the site of Clue HQ Brentwood, which runs a large-team game with the same name, on which this game is I believe at least partially based. The bunker is a genuine military bunker, now decommissioned and turned into a tourist attraction.
That’s relevant here because Armageddon uses the Telescape interactive platform with real-life photos of the bunker used as the b...
Set design wise, we prefer Black Knight. Puzzle wise, we prefer Armageddon. If you're looking for more teamwork and better game flow, we would suggest Armageddon. If the creator is able to tweak Black Knight's game design to make it less confusing on certain parts, we would suggest this game to enthusiasts as it's more challenging. Both games definitely incorporated the war theme and storyline very well. We can't wait for The Escape Network to send us on another mission!
