Worthy of its reputation, a great game with beautiful set dressing, a compelling story and some fun puzzles to work through. Some small spaces so 2 players felt good for this game. I always enjoy games where there are elements of choice and this certainly takes advantage of that.

Enjoyed the twist on the escape room (about making the right choices as well as completing the game on time). Immersion and theme was good, and it definitely felt a bit nervy at times!

A really interesting room - you're given 70 minutes and told not to rush but to take it all in. Plenty of variety, things to see and a really engaging story makes this a very solid room.

I played a few years ago. I really enjoyed the twist and the choice element of the game. The host was really nice and the puzzles were good.

Reviews by escape room review sites

The first game from Archimedes Inspiration was Leo's Path, which stands out for its calm beauty. So I was surprised to see that their second game was set in an asylum. A crumbling, creepy abandoned mental hospital sounds right in line with many a horror-themed escape room and completely at odds with what I expected from AIEscape. So I went in braced for perhaps a dark, dirty room with scare effects and maybe broken furniture or fake cobwebs. That is not at all what Kill M.A.D. turned out to be. ...

AI Escape don't make my life easy. This is another game that's incredibly hard to review dealing with a difficult subject matter that made this an experience with more depth than most. Ignoring that, though, they've put together good puzzles in a beautiful set to make a game that's well worth playing.
Things take a psychological turn with this hospital based thriller. Here is our review.
This beautiful story with an escape room hanging off it is set in a mental hospital and is a particularly special experience.
