Can you help save the earth from the impending alien invasion? NERD, an extra terrestrial, has been living among us for hundreds of years after crash landing on earth in his spacecraft.
With his ship now fixed, he is ready to harness the energy of Stonehenge to power up his Portal Opening Device. But the portal will allow his fellow aliens to destroy earth. You must infiltrate the ship and power down the POD before NERD returns. You are earth’s only hope.

A lot of interesting things, but it shows the seams of being a game adapted from a travelling game instead of a fixed build.

A cute and well constructed alien-spaceship game with a sense of humor and well structured puzzle flow and happy gadgets, but nothing is too amazing and the game is so well signposted that enthusiasts will tend to blow through it. (There's a "hard mode" that removes some signposting, but I'm not sure that would be more fun.)

Really enjoyed this room, its not the most challenging, but all puzzles are clear and logical and well themed. The introductory video that you get on your booking is worth a watch too, made me LOL! Good avatar who kept in character and didn't camera lead to puzzles and more importantly let you think/work out stuff without prompting you.
I was going to give this a GOOD score, but this game has one of the best in game inventory systems I've played with so far, its clear, easy to navigate and allows teams to work on multiple puzzles at the same time, so thats tipped it into the excellent score.

Firstly, note that at time of writing POD is due to close as a remote play game in a week or so, so if you want to catch it you’ll need to move swiftly. I was in fact in two minds about whether to play it, since I believe it’s going to be adapted into Live Escape’s next physical room, and I wouldn’t want the remote experience to spoil the physical one; but the plan is apparently to have no overlap in the puzzles.

Set on an alien spaceship, your job is to prevent it from opening a portal to the ...

This was a really fun room and is very reasonably priced. With great signposting, clever puzzles, and a really fun set, it is worth doing! Get it booked before it is gone!
