My first ever escape room and the best of memories (although I see it's sadly now closed). An awesome 3 room adventure with a cool centrepiece and great props (white coat and guns really made it immersive!)

Very easy for 4, feels quite dated.

Nice hosts though

It was my first escape rooms experience but really enjoyed it. There was much arguing in our group about the importance of the fan! Sadly we didn't succeed but it was great fun!

Admittedly, I wouldn't have chosen this game myself but our 9 year old now has the ER bug and decided she wanted to do an ER for her birthday party and this fitted the requirements. Essentially - they all had a great time, they were all new to ERs bar our child, and the GM did a good job with some gentle clueing although we also provided some hands off guidance from within the room. I wouldn't recommend it for enthusiast groups - the space is a little spartan and worn down, and it is a bit light on puzzles (even factoring in the above, we finished in 45 minutes) plus the ending comes as a bit of a surprise and could use some more build up. If you need to take some newbies to play somewhere, they will still have fun (but if at this venue, I'd choose Mayan Temple over the other games).

SzĂ©pen kivitelezett, nagyon menƑ dizĂĄjnnal. MĂ©g nem jĂĄtszottam ezzel a szobĂĄval a TRAP-ban, Ă­gy nem tudok nyilatkozni semmilyen tĂ©mĂĄval kapcsolatban, ami megvĂĄltozott. Zoli (Ășgy gondolom) remek hĂĄzigazda volt, rendkĂ­vĂŒl kedves, Ă©s pontosan annyi segĂ­tsĂ©get nyĂșjtott, amennyi szĂŒksĂ©ges volt. A zajszƱrƑ fejhallgatĂłk kellemes meglepetĂ©snek szĂĄmĂ­tottak. NĂ©hĂĄny izgalmas pillanat Ă©s Ă©rdekes technolĂłgiai megoldĂĄs! SzĂ©p folyamatossĂĄg, nem tĂșl lineĂĄris. Alig vĂĄrom, hogy visszatĂ©rjek, Ă©s kiprĂłbĂĄljam a Saw-t, amit a hĂĄzigazda ajĂĄnlott.
Beautifully executed with a very cool design. I hadn’t played this room prior to its move from TRAP so cannot comment on anything theming wise that has been changed. Zoli (I think) was a great host, super kind and gave us just enough help. The noise cancelling headphones were a lovely touch. Some exciting moments and an interesting use of tech! Nice flow and not too linear. I’m looking forward to going back and trying Saw which the host recommended.

Incredible room, the theme and attention to detail crafting the room is brilliant. Host was a pleasure, Burt. Only issue we found was at the start, a video tells you to ignore a lock on a desk, it must be full of electrics for the room, but it made us discount that desk draws entirely, turns out we needed to open the draw next to this one! Brilliant room though, suspect some will find it very challenging but it flowed well for our team and we had a great time, already planning our next weekend away back here to do a few of their rooms it was that good!

Reviews by escape room review sites

For some reason both the escape game venues currently open in central Cambridge use room designs from Hungarian company TRAP. I played most of the TRAP games in Budapest some years ago, but Armageddon is one of the designs that didn't exist at that time, so I happily booked in to try it when passing through town. I remembered the Budapest TRAP rooms as as solid and slick mass-market games, but then they were some of the first escape rooms I ever played, so I didn't have much to compare them to....

A strong room with impressive set design and puzzles we've not seen anywhere else.
The second room from our Cambridge double bill.
The less experienced escapers in our team found the room to be a lot of fun, but those with a few more escapes under our belt were left a little underwhelmed. There’s a nice variety of puzzles but it’s a pretty short experience and a very crowded one with seven players.
