My partner loves the podcast, so we played this and had a really fun date night in! Nothing too outstanding re: puzzles themselves but all the bits around them are what made the experience.

The story is there, but the puzzles are quote laborious and not particularly challenging.


My partner and I ended up not finished purely because we got bored half way through.

Nice production value, decent puzzles which often felt a bit rough around the edges. The puzzles are accompanied by an awesome audiovisual story which thematically parallels the puzzling but doesn't really meaningfully influence them.

A really good fun online escape! Coming from a sitcom podcast (which I hadn't heard of before playing this game), the comedy comes across well and the puzzles aren't too bad either. A good mix of puzzles and a fun ending too.  Play the game, then listen to the podcast - and fingers crossed Apocalypse Period One allows them to develop a second game, or get ready to record their second series.

At a fair price this unhosted experience would probably be 3 to 3.5 stars, but you get an amazing amount of content and slickly-produced materials for an insanely low price.

Reviews by escape room review sites

There are very few podcasts I’ve ever tried, and so I'd not heard of Oblivity, an episodic sci-fi sitcom that seems to revolve around the crew of a research base on Pluto. This spin-off escape room takes the form of a web-based light puzzle hunt, with each section based around one of the main characters, whom you’re attempting to rescue from the teenage villain who has imprisoned them and set you the puzzles.

Each section is introduced by a video clip starring one of the characters. The graphic...

A story driven game that takes a while to play because of all the narrative. If you’re looking for a quick game that you can rush through, then this probably isn’t one for you. However, if you want a game that sucks you into a new world, then give this one a try

I don't normally give 5 star ratings, but this one deserves it! The Profoctor Predicament … Or to call it by it’s full name The Profoctor’s perfidious, perilous, puzzling predicament! How to describe it? SO MUCH FUN. It’s brilliant, hilarious, charming, and doesn’t take itself too seriously. It’s immediately gone onto my Top Rated list and I can’t recommend it enough.

We travel to Pluto to learn what happened to a missing research team in this online escape room from podcasters Oblivity.

A delightful and challenging puzzle game with a solid story and great humour througout. I’d highly recommend this room to anyone who wants a touch of silliness with their game – we had an absolute blast!

A humorous sci-fi podcast-based escape room – this is a one-of-a-kind adventure. Considering its incredibly low price point, it comes highly recommended to anyone who enjoys any of those constituent parts.
