A fun time travelling adventure with an original character. Was a relatively small set which limited the number of time travelling "areas" we could go to but overall a really cool experience.
Even if the topic of "time travel" is nothing extraordinary in the escape room industry, this room impresses with its funny setting within the Mad Machines universe. The setting is successful, the puzzles are mostly fitting and entertaining, although in a few places a bit too constructed and therefore unnatural. The integration of the hint system is also well done, so that the room as a whole is recommendable in any case.
Ein super, mega Raum!! Humorvoll - davon gibt es leider zu wenige - mit einer super schönen immersiven Atmosphäre. Einzigartig und den Trip nach Mailand allemal wert!
I don't think our team stopped smiling / laughing throughout this experience. So funny and some great unique elements. Enjoyed how they've taken a classic escape room theme and made it feel genuinely original. The sense of exploration was amazing and we enjoyed how every puzzle had a purpose in the context of the story. The interactions with the machine itself were a nice easter eggy touch.
Reviews by escape room review sites
With two games that both boast some solid puzzles, great sets, and plenty of whimsical fun, it’s definitely worth a visit to Mad Machines if you find yourself in Milan. Of the two games currently available at the venue, Time Machine was our preferred experience, but it’s a tough call to make.
Wouldn’t you also be interested in knowing what your life would have been like in another age? Who would you be? A gunslinger in the Wild West? A gladiator in the Roman Empire? A quack in the Middle Ages? We’re keenly interested, and thanks to Dr Mad, our curiosity can finally be satisfied. Just choose the age of your dreams, it says flowery in the travel brochure of his time machine. We should have read the *footnote!!!
