As space cadets on the International Space Station you must race against time to ensure you fix the escape pod before it's too late. Houston received your distress call and has concluded that it was a meteor shower that struck the main ship a short time ago. The escape pod has also been damaged so you must first restore all of the systems before attempting an escape.
Cadets, you need to hurry! The next meteor shower is predicted to strike in an hour so there is no room for error!

Played to fill a bit of time while in Edinburgh. It was a little bit basic in terms of decor and puzzles, but everything worked as it should, it made sense, and there were a few neat moments.
We played as a team of three and finished in half an hour (while not rushing) - I would recommend enthusiasts play in a team with no more than that or else you simply don't get your money's worth (with the exception of two particular puzzles that required co-operation, I would actually so it's pretty easy to solo).
Operation Odyssey is one of two games at Can You Escape, and got off to a good start when the operator gave the surprisingly detailed initial briefing in character. The level of costume was simple but the effort adds to the game.
