A good room with very straightforward puzzles. The story and room are great but it feels like it is missing something from it…

Some good use of tech but I think variety is the spice of life when it comes to puzzles…some oppourtunities missed to make this really interactive and one of a kind. But is is very like other zombie / infected stories.

The premise and design are cool and we really enjoyed one particular central feature of the game. Apart from one puzzle that felt a bit overcomplicated, it was straightforward stuff.

Hugely enjoyable escape room. The theme was fun and the use of tech was really clever.

Great puzzle - though it leans a bit heavy on ‘figure out the code to unlock the padlock’. 

Overall, it was designed very well to lead you in the direction. Very few moments where we felt lost - the whole time it felt like active problem solving, and we left feeling very satisfied.
