We had a good time but it felt a little too linear - there were some idle moments for the group

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...

If you're lucky enough to get a good GM then this is a solid room and one we would happily recommend to enthusiasts
A solid room with some brilliant moments. Great for novices, but still fun for small groups of experienced players.

The premise of Operation Contagion is fairly straightforward. There’s a zombie apocalypse sweeping the globe and the world is in lockdown – not too hard to imagine post-2020, hey! – but this laboratory has developed a cure. Great! We’re saved! Only the lab is also in lockdown and there’s just 60 minutes before it self-incinerates. Ahh, not so great.
