Clueston, we have a problem! A meteor shower has just struck the Hinternational Space Station resulting in a catastrophic power failure in the substation where you were located – the Europa Research Module. This power failure has caused a number of systems to shut down, including the oxygen reserves for the entire HSS. Can you and your team overcome microgravity and restart the station to get the oxygen flowing again?

A re-working of Trapped In's game this game was a tweaked, and slicker version, with all of ClueHQs trademark puns and branding.

Having played "The Warp" series of online games I was quite thrilled to see the actual set of the game.  You are astronaut trainees newly arrived at a space station when, obviously, things go wrong and you only have 60 minutes to air left.  There follows a great logical series of problems coupled with some nasty potential search fails (we had to be clued to one) and a couple of great physical moments I've not seen before, had a fantastic time here.

This is a terrific game in a lovely space. Flows really well, loads of interesting puzzles. Only reason I knocked half a star off is our host was what I would describe as 'uninterested'.

Absolutely amazing room! The puzzles were on theme and extremely creative. It is a small room but that didn’t matter with just the two of us. The only downside was that the host didn’t explain the story much and just seemed very unenthusiastic.

Absolutely brilliant room. It isn’t huge in space but you never notice as the room is filled with in-theme puzzles. A few things we’d never encountered before and the last 2 minutes was very immersive if a little stressful!

Went to Warrington with some colleagues (many their first time playing an escape room) and they had a great time with this room. Considering the buzz on here, I was expecting a little more spectacle, but worth visiting nonetheless. We all had to work together and was a non-linear game. They tend to be my preference, especially with groups greater than 2/3. I would certainly if this game a playthrough if close by.

hi-techcleverimmersivequite difficult

A very well built out room with lots of interfaces to play with and very strong theming. Not a single padlock to be found. This was the first room we have failed in a while, it's a lot of work for a group of two. 

A couple of the props were showing signs of wear that gave away parts of the puzzles. and there is one puzzle that would have really benefited from a pen and pencil to make notes. But overall these did not distract too much from the overall quality of the room. 

Our hosts were amazing and obviously huge escape room fans themselves.

I love when a company make full use of the space they have! This is a perfect example of how your rooms do not need to be huge to really challenge your players.

The mission is clear and I always prefer a collecting type game, it always keeps focused!

The room was themed beautifully and the props/set was of good quality.

There was some really imaginative puzzles which require team work and patience!

Our host was fairly new to the company but made an effort to ask about our hobby and was just lovely.

As a side note, there was a Geek Retreat a few doors down so we had a warm up game of Exploding Kittens before saving our Space ship 🌟

Played as a 3 generation family group. Teenagers really enjoyed the high tech aspects of the game. Host was very friendly.

A great room, I wouldn’t recommend for a beginner but a good mid level room. Nice few bits of tech and great hosting but as with Warrington Clue HQ it’s a arrive play then go it’s not anywhere to wait to greet friends etc

Fantastic game with a variety of puzzles. Probably the best game at the CHQ Warrington centre.

If I'm honest, I'm not a big fan of space themed rooms. However, this one is an exception. Such a fun room with lots of non-linear puzzles to keep everyone engaged. I wouldn't recommend a team size over 4 people as the space isn't huge. There's lots of sci-fi easter eggs and the last challenge/puzzle we had to complete made us laugh lots as we ran around the room (I won't say anymore in case I spoil anything)

Great use of space and technology, and just lovely to play a very high quality room that doesn't muck about and has plenty of nice puzzles. Similar feeling to Hellavator in Birmingham, but without the horror. 

Reviews by escape room review sites

Interstellar was the second game we played at Trapped In with a sci-fi theme, and the difference was remarkable. Where Time Machine used silver foil and spare electronics as decoration, Interstellar is in a different league. Though not up to Hollywood movie set levels, it presents a thoroughly credible starship interior; and it uses a simple but remarkably successful effect making it feel far larger than it actually is. I also appreciated the way they’d chosen a flooring that completely looked t...

A thoroughly polished game that I'd put right up there as one of the best in the North West. Looks beautiful, lots of puzzles and a very good structure to the game is topped off by a finale that felt it was taken straight from Star Trek.
An immersive and exciting game, filled with physical puzzles and finished off with a high paced final dash around the room. Highly recommended.
