You and your crew are on a voyage to a newly discovered planet, but now the spaceship’s lights are flashing and alarms are sounding.
Surely you can just turn off the warnings and forget about it, or maybe you need to prepare the escape pod…

Wanted to enjoy this so much as yet to play a great space game. Sadly was not what I was expecting from a tech led company. So much potential, was an ok game.

Perhaps not the hardest or most beautiful game but genuinely so much fun, really friendly staff, good GM for our game. Well thought out with a great ending!

Went in without realising how fun this one would be. Had lots of elements i've not seen in any other rooms and was just an absolute treat to play!

Reviews by escape room review sites

CTRL ALT ESC’s second game takes you into space, on a mission to a planet called Dirt. Naturally the mission does not go smoothly, and you need to make an emergency escape from your failing spaceship.

Spacescape is an ambitious game with some interesting ideas. One of its innovations is that every player has an assigned role (captain, medic, etc.), and at least one of those roles has a particular job to perform. Another unusual feature of the game is that the team must constantly take care to k...

A high-quality game that I'd recommend playing. Fun puzzles, but the real stand-outs were the sense of exploration, the humorous interactions with a game character and an interesting start and finish.

A tech heavy room that has a very impressive ending. One of the many rooms that is worth doing in Margate

This room was reminiscent of returning to the Wacky Warehouse (do people know what this is – or is this a strange Northern place?!), as players are brought into a legit (it felt very legit) spaceship to complete this room. Standout features of this experience include:

A brilliantly well-devised space themed room, Spacescape was made with love to a high standard, with just a single tech fault and a couple of out-of-character puzzles not detracting from the overall experience of a physically active room that kept you on your toes throughout.

8 / 10

A voyage to another planet goes catastrophically awry, and we find ourselves desperately trying to reach our escape pod to save our skins. Why does it always end up being so hard to boldly go where no escapist has gone before?
