Loved every minuteThis was our first room at Hysteria and it didn’t disappoint I think our host was Roo? He was great Some tech did fail but didn’t affect the game experience.Lots of things to do and really fun despite not being very big physically

Loads of puzzles crammed into a tiny space! All were in theme with the space-prison concept and were really satisfying to solve. Definitely a marmite game as it is very tech driven but I loved it!

I really enjoyed this one - the puzzles are excellent and the tech used worked seamlessly.
I also think that the theming works really well and it’s a really good use of a small space without ever feeling too cramped.
Didn’t quite have the wow factor to get top marks (maybe some more ambience/music would do that?) and one of the puzzles was a little misleading (they took on our feedback so may be changed in future) but it’s nearly there. Great room - fully recommend!

hi-techoriginalstory-drivenquite difficult
This is quite a unique room, very well thought out and sticks to the story well, everything feels in keeping. Some really nice touches/novel ideas and a variety of tasks to do. I must admit it didnt gel with my brain but the rest of my group loved it. Its definitely on the harder end of the scale I would say but for experienced groups its a good challenge. Great hosting by Roo too, thanks!

We went into this room with the understanding it was a 'marmite' room but we appreciate a hi-tech room when the technology is used appropriately, as was in this case. As a 75 minute room, there are plenty of puzzles, all of which felt part of one coherent story. Nothing felt arbitrary.
This is a marmite room, you either love it or hate it, and I loved it. Its not the biggest of rooms but it is a deceptive space with well-themed puzzles and challenges. If you like minimalist escape rooms then this one is for you.
So I like Prison games, I also like Space games so when there's a Space Prison game! This is a lot of fun, it's a small space (so hence the 4 player limit) but there are some very clever technical puzzles going and some nods to old sci-fi tropes. You do start the game handcuffed but there's a very clever trick here I've not seen anywhere else... I enjoyed this a lot and would advise you don't go with more than 2-3.
Although I had a bad experience with broken tech that meant a few puzzles/tasks we couldn't fulfil ourselves and were simply given the answer, I don't want that to reflect in my rating as the room has a lot of potential and deserves the credit for the effort that has gone in to it with another brilliant theme and set design. With working tech this will be a another great room by Rob and Nikki

Love Nicky and Rob and always have great things to say about their rooms, little gutted with this room though, reset keys were left in the room, a hatch left open and the little robot didn't work. New girl was hosting us so few hiccups but can see the potential this room has and recommend having a go at this room!
