Travel back through time to the abandoned Quartz laboratory. Located in a bomb shelter in Broadstairs, this laboratory has been kept secret for decades. Only recently discovered by The Network; the highest order of military intelligence.
There's no official government documentation of the Quartz Machine but rumours describing an artificially intelligent machine, engineered by a German nuclear physicist hellbent on causing world chaos have been leaked.
We now need a brave team to go head to head with Quartz in order to destroy its physical construct and annihilate it from the world, for good.
Can you take on an artificially intelligent bot and win?

We weren't sure what to expect here, particularly whether or not we would escape in time as a team of two.Our GM - Agent L (Lewis) - was in role from the very beginning. His storytelling was superb and it felt incredibly immersive from the get-go. The set design is absolutely fantastic and the use of tech is extremely impressive. The puzzles were really enjoyable and the final section.... Wow! This game is a lot of fun and, along with the insanely good build, really ranks up there in terms of WW2 rooms that we've done.
An excellent game with an awesome finale! There were many fun and inventive puzzles that are well integrated to the amazing set and story, plus the GM was fantastic too. A unique must-play room
Another excellent room. If you are only going to play one game at this venue pick Atlantis. This room is another must play but would be a little forgettable without the mind-blowing finale.

I could write a really long review about this game, but I really don't want to give anything away so people can have that whiplash effect that I got. Wow. Play this game.
Absolutely brilliant room with Hollywood movie worthy set. Team are thoroughly immersive from greeting you at the door. Having been lucky enough to complete other rooms they all have an interwoven link but can all be played totally independent. This is a must do room.

Wow, what a game! Superb experience from the moment the host opened the entrance door for us all the way to the end. The long wait for this game was really worth it! Very clever and well-themed puzzles and lots of action for the grand finale. Absolute recommendation!
Quartz is an outstanding experience. Our game host was amazing, stayed in character and added so much to the experience. As all other games by Escapement, the design quality here is second to none, with great theme-appropriate puzzles, surprises and ah-ha moments throughout. The ending is absolutely amazing, and unlike anything else we've seen before. This is a must-play game.

Can't really say too much about this game without major spoilers but it's an absolute must-play. Really enjoyed the puzzles, great hosting, and the best ending I've experienced yet.
This game was a long time in the making, but Iβm pleased to report that the wait was 100% worth it. The Escapement have created a game here that will surely go to the top of peopleβs βTop 10β lists, we need to rejig ours, as this is firmly up there for sure.
Great puzzles, great story, amazing hosts, amazing finale!
