We revisited this room, having done the original 'Lab' game as our 9th room back in 32 mins back in 2017 and always meant to come back since the revamp, and eventually made it our 136th room. We enjoyed this room, and we were pleased to see it had enough puzzles to keep us going a bit longer.

great hosting

Some good tech in here with some decent puzzles which had us scooting around the room. We're not usually fantastic at Science themed rooms in general and we felt the same about this one but it was a decent offering with some fun puzzles.

Probably the better of the two games at the city centre location, although Lily of Lumley is much more impressive and well worth the trek to Lumley Castle compared to the two games here. A fun game with some good puzzles, but nothing especially exciting or special.

There isn’t much to this room and it’s very much what-you-see-is-what-you-get but we found there was enough in there to keep us occupied
