I found this game terrible. The host was really uninterested and seemed more focused on trying to sell stuff from the bar to us. The room itself was ridiculously plain, white furniture and barely anything in it. Lots of pieces of paper stuck on with blutack as the puzzles. 

Broken maglock just hanging down taped over felt really dangerous and a lack of effort. There was no music or backing sound, all we could hear was the heavy rain and constant traffic from the busy road. The room was completely linear and the puzzles were rather boring. We spent most of the time feeling deflated that we had paid for such a boring room. 

When booking the room has 2 difficulty levels, we opted for the harder one and got told after that they had done it the easier way. This was frustrating as we wanted a challenge, although it sounds like the room makes less sense with the “hard” puzzles removed as the harder version has a quicker record time.

Like the other rooms here, Laboratory is decorated simply: in this case, IKEA furniture and science-related posters on the walls. Also like the oth...
