Can you head back into the past and solve the puzzles left for you by the Professor to re-jig the thingamy whats-it and save human kind as we know it?!? You will be transported back though the decades, you will need to work with your team to overcome several obstacles that are currently blocking your only path home! This room is ideal for a group of 4 people, although a family of 5 would be ok.

A super fun and immersive room! We got a little caught up by something SO obvious but still managed to get out. The ending is great. Super friendly GM, would recommend for any back to the future fans!
