A missile is on its way to Brighton and youā€™ve only got 60 minutes before it lands.
Luckily you have the keys to your Grandadā€™s old Cold War bunker, but it is not in good shape. Youā€™ll have to use your hour wisely to fix up the bunker and bring it back online in order to survive!
In this game, communication is king because your team will be split at the start, with half taking a different side each and only a small opening to communicate and pass items between the two halves.

Another fantastic escape room from Pier Pressure.  The story makes it more interesting, and the hosting was great (as always).  We rattled through this, making it probably one of the easier rooms we've done, despite being split up at the start.  Recommend.  Room 14 for us!

great hosting
Sad to say we really didnā€™t enjoy this experienceā€¦in separate rooms to start with which is greatā€¦.butā€¦. The music is turned up way too loud to enjoy. We couldnā€™t communicate with each other and in the end it just wasnā€™t a great experience. The puzzles were good, some silly but sadly we couldnā€™t get away from the noise

A nice start that splits your team in two, forcing you to communicate, and an intense rush to the finish. If only the music had been quieter - it made it so hard to concentrate. Turning the volume down would have been worth half a star!

Reviews by escape room review sites

We were being bombed by the northerners in this Brighton Escape room at Pier Pressure ā€“ find out whether we secured our bunker or whether the radiation got to us first!

Broken, currently Pressure Point's newest game, is set in a nuclear bunker. Following the venue's penchant for putting an unusual spin on a familiar setting, you're not infiltrating a bunker or trying to break out of one - instead, this is an ageing home-made bunker, which you need to quickly repair before the nuclear first strike hits. Despite the impending Armageddon, this isn't handled as a grim game. Broken may not be as light-hearted as its sister game Murder on the Dancefloor, but it share...

A fun game with a great balance of puzzles. I loved the unusual theme, the clever structure, the strong set and the confident finale. Pressure Point seem to have the knack of creating games that feel really polished and leave you with that hard-to-define feeling of "flow"."

A solid room where youā€™re trying to barricade yourself in rather than escape. I preferred their other rooms but this was still a good room with decent puzzles and a solid ending
