The Machine was created in an attempt to be at the forefront of Artificial Intelligence but appears to be an absolute failure. Ever since the mysterious disappearance of the Professor that was the mastermind of its creation, The Machine has remained dormant. We have decided to open up our doors to the public to cast fresh eyes on the experiment. Can you determine what went wrong and restore communication in under 60 minutes?

Some of the puzzles needed mental jumps that we were just not making. A worn out clue didn't help for one part and the names given to certain props just didn't click.

The main room prop did look pretty cool though, and cooling in the room was much appreciated.

Clever use of tech, combined with more physical classic escape room puzzles. A very small space - the smallest room I’ve done - but used well. A nicely dramatic finale as well. Probably best with 2 or 3 people as I think it would get a bit cramped with more.

The host (can't remember his name sorry I suck at names) was very friendly and clearly very knowledgeable about escape games.

A fun game that, in spite of starting off in a slightly pedestrian manner, continues to improve throughout and is well into its stride for the finale. A few of the early puzzles felt like filler, but the majority of challenges were plenty of fun, and there was good player feedback throughout.

The Machine was a good introduction to the escape rooms of Leamington Spa. Not as expansive as most escape rooms, but they do pack a lot of detail into the space. A lot of cool inputs that key off the feature set piece within the room.
