An old abandoned Nuclear Laboratory sits locked and ignore – until now. But something has gone horribly wrong and an old fail-safe launch mechanism has started a nuclear countdown. Armageddon is a heartbeat away. You and your team have just 60 minutes to find the nuclear control console and enter the firing codes to disarm the bomb. Succeed and the world will live to fight another day. Fail and watch the missiles launch and the world, as we know it, to end.
T-60 minutes. And counting.

Good concept with iffy execution. Puzzles felt a bit disjointed and, for me at least, red herrings are a big no no.

Escape rooms are only one of the attractions on offer at Vire - they also provide VR gaming in a variety of flavours, nerf gun battles, and a café. On the occasion we visited they were also hosting a birthday party for thirty hyperactive 8 year olds complete with conjuring show, giving a surreal juxtaposition between children’s songs on one side of a curtain and imminent nuclear Armageddon on the other.
