Not Quite Out of This World
I visited this Sheffield room over others as it was the only to accept student
discount (20%) on a weekend.
Story
Infiltrate an ‘experimental prison ship’ and steal a bio sample before aliens get
you.
Puzzles
They lacked a clear theme, varying from astronomy to chemistry and…shapes? A technological/machine-operating
element was present throughout the whole game. This was fun at first, but got a
little tedious by the end. They were of intermediate difficulty- we required a pointer
on a couple of occasions.
Mise-en-scene
The most disappointing aspect. This room felt bare, and looked absolutely
nothing like a prison ship. The overall design was stark and tacky, especially the
“suggestion of a previous grisly event” which looked a bit like a primary
school art project.
Final Comments
We got out with a few minutes to spare-
there probably would have been ten minutes or more left on the timer had we not
made a silly mistake with the final puzzle (neither of us realised we had
already solved it- our fault!). Deep Space Brig was okay, and I wouldn't mind
trying out the other upcoming rooms. However, I'd also be tempted to pay full
price and visit one of the more central escape room companies next time.
