Interesting idea. This was a digital escape room that meant walking around Bristol to discover the puzzles and unlock the next part of the story.Unfortunately I did this for my Hen Do back in Feb 2020 and Storm Denis was not our friend! We got drenched and the iPads we not liking working in a storm. We still had a blast though and I will never forget my escape hunt in a storm!

It's an interesting concept, but this game was generally lacklustre and really wasn't our cup of tea. I think young kids might enjoy it. Lots of very basic puzzles and zero effort to make it immersive. Some of the props were worn and had not been fixed. The worst part (without spoilers) at one point you are asked to do something which seemed very un-environmentally friendly which we chose not to do. Wouldn't recommend unfortunately.

Didn't get on with this at all. The tech ran out of battery as we were half way round and they had to come out and find us with a charged up tablet...

Had great fun walking round Ormskirk, completing the missions. All well thought out and some easier than others. We came 2nd on their leaderboard from one silly mistake, but we complete it without any clues, in the fastest time.

Pete was a great host, as always.

Great fun to do during a lockdown with a nice weather.

It took us a bit of time to get use to the technology but the puzzle are increasingly difficult which allow you to get the hang of it.

We needed just over an hour to complete and didn't need any clue. It was fun but doesn't bit the atmosphere of their other indoor games!

Reviews by escape room review sites

This game combines a digital portal with a 3D floor plan to make you feel closer to the real world in the comfort of your home. Although it didn't have a strong puzzle component, it did give us the detective vibe. We also liked that we didn't have to go outside of the game portal for additional information. Adding an inventory basket would definitely make the game much easier to follow and improve the game flow. If you like "search and find" type of game while piecing together evidences in order to find the truth behind a mystery, then this might be the game for you!

Adrenaline Filled!

The Pegasus Project is a prequel to Operation Mindfall. If you’ve played it’s outdoor counterpart, running around with your briefcase and an iPad, then you’ll know the drill! Spies, an evil corporation, mind control, and YOU! A brilliant team of secret agents.

Exhilarating

Operation Mindfall is without a doubt in my mind one of the most creative and high-tech outdoor games on the market. I’m just so impressed by the tech! AIM Escape’s version in particular takes you through some of the most beautiful parts of London but through the eyes of the super secret spy organisation W.I.S.E. It’s perfect for tourists and locals alike!

This experience was so well executed, we were really impressed with it! The augmented reality aspects worked brilliantly and the story was great, with all of the puzzles well themed and great fun to solve. The difficulty level wasn’t too high but the variety of different puzzles was fantastic, with a big bag of tricks to keep things interesting.
