Six months after the great inventor Professor Tepet’s death – M.I.6. gained access to the lab where he kept all of his greatest inventions. Among the files, they found an abandoned document called A-I-9 detailing an artificial intelligence peacekeeping program. Scientists finally managed to recreate the program, rolling it out across the nation. A type of robot (called ‘9bots’) were integrated into society. The NHS could diagnose patients before symptoms appeared while the army neutralised threats before they happened, the country thrived, for a time. 24 hours ago an anomaly appeared in the code shutting down internet and telecommunications worldwide and soon after chaos ensued. A-I-9 is corrupting the system from the inside. This was meant to be impossible. The only way to stop it is to destroy it before it can destroy us – can you get past their self-protection systems?
“The end of the world was always going to be man-made. The only question was how?” – Professor Errol Tepet

One of the better ClueHQ rooms. Some good tech and puzzles. Too much smoke, not good for those with asthma

A single small room crammed with lots of monitors, Lights, switches and smoke machine. 

Wouldn't recommend more than 2/3 people but one of our favs with the extra stimulation and ai "presence" in the room.

Love this room, it will stay at the top as one of the favourites we have played. For a 1 roomed game where you are there are no hidden doors to move you into another room to escape, it is well thought out. Plenty of puzzles to keep you busy, gets your brain thinking and the room really flows well. Would really recommend this room to anyone playing at Clue HQ, you wont be disappointed.

I'm a sucker for most sci-fi themes, so with a choice of games for a morning slot at Clue HQ's Birmingham branch I went straight for A-I-9's story of battling a rogue artificial intelligence. Also, the alternatives were their Cell Block C and Bunker 38 rooms which have been franchised to a wider number of locations across the UK, so it made sense to go for the harder-to-find game.

Clue HQ is one of the UK's large escape chains, with currently three core branches and close to a dozen franchise l...
