An enjoyable room with a great theme. A more linear game so less chance to split up as a team and work through puzzles. Great hosting with some added humour when it took us a while to figure out one of the puzzles.
The lab theme has been done to death but compendium just do it so well! Unique, fun puzzles with a great mix of physical and mental types. One of my fave puzzles I've ever done was in this room. Brilliant non-linear game so everyone always has something to do!

When we entered the lab we found ourselves in a relatively large, clean room with plenty of sciencey artifacts lying around. The premise is simple; locate and recover the antidote for the deadly pandemic that is ravaging the planet (I swear this was launched long before Covid). We immediately split up and started searching for clues, locating a number of interesting items and numbers dotted about. The decor in the room was great – it played into the theme and there quite multiple times when something which initially appeared to be a prop turned into a key puzzle!
