Again, a really nice room with some solid puzzles. We found some things a little illogical, but this didn't ruin the overall game for us.

Reviews by escape room review sites

Knockout cheerfully warned us up front that they go for quite minimal backstory with their games. In this case the plot was essentially that you're in a mad scientist's laboratory and need to solve puzzles to escape - but delivered in a nicely light-hearted way.

This laboratory leans into the mad scientist clichés, being populated with a variety of science-y objects rather than looking like an actual lab; but funky lighting gives a nicely atmospheric impression. The science theme extended to a ...

This room is light on backstory, but you definitely leave the outside world and become absorbed in your puzzle solving. At times a challenging room, but always fun
