Very clever room and a unique experience. Quite a number of puzzles that we had not seen before. Think we approached it in a bit of a manic fashion and then one is more suited to a more observant group which we weren't. Great hosting by Nick who gave us some good pointers on the way as the puzzles are very well done.

The GM was absolutely brilliant. We didn't escape but we loved the immersive experience and fun. It was linear and I noticed I always rate those types of games lower, but if you love linear, you'll love this!

What a truly remarkable room this was.  Very well decorated, felt like you were actually on a spaceship. Without giving too much away there is a lot where someone needs to be crawling.  Puzzles are difficult and only barely got out the room. Host was good but could have been a little better as not understanding what we were asking sometimes.  Other than that this room is truly one to experience.

So much to do, a very high tech (the screens were frustrating, but made more sense the more we got through the game), immersive and clever room.  Still worth a visit.

Incredible build quality.  My biggest criticism though is the lack of response from the screens for the puzzles - you feel like something should happen but it takes a painfully long time for them to acknowledge that you've done something. A lot to do and some fairly long crawling. 

Great ending though, one of my favourite ways to end a game yet!

The set looks AMAZING. The puzzles/flow etc just didn't work for us, sadly.

Went into this with high expectations but left feeling quite left down. This room could have been amazing as there are no padlocks but it just all seemed very janky and rushed.

Firstly, the set looks absolutely gorgeous it's a large room with a very good use of the space. Sadly, we didn't get along with the puzzles, finding them mostly arduous, and tacky. (Which is ironic based on the overuse of blu-tack in this game)
My friend played this a long time before I did and kept raving that it's one of their favorite games. Upon discussing it afterwards it was clear several things were broken, she had a very clever technical first puzzle, where we had cheap greetings cards blu-tacked to the wall of the SPACE ship.

Reviews by escape room review sites

One of many life lessons I've learned from escape rooms is, if you're awaking from stasis on a spacecraft, you can be pretty sure you're in mortal peril. Impact's flavour of peril is the exploding ship sort rather than the marauding alien type, but you'll need to do some rapid fixing up to make it out.

Our briefing included assignment of different crew roles to each player. It might have been nice if those roles had been directly used within the game a little more, but it was still a great way ...

Wow, and I mean WOW! There was something incredibly special about Impact...
