value for moneygreat hostinggenuinely funquite difficult

This room has been on the wish list for a long time and it did not disappoint. 

Charlotte, the host, was exceptional and created a really good atmosphere before we started. The puzzles were unique and complicated and genuinely fun. I imagine it would be more immersive for someone from the 80s but it was still a great room to play.

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!

Reviews by escape room review sites

My knowledge of classic 80s movies is clearly lacking, because it took me quite a few months after hearing of Outatime before I realised itโ€™s inspired by Back To The Future.
As youโ€™d expect from a time travel theme, this is a game that spans different settings. There are of course a great many nods to the movie, some subtle and some blatant, though Iโ€™d say that the majority of this game focuses on the movieโ€™s setting more than on the movieโ€™s plot. The premise here is that youโ€™re lost in time a...
Outatime is clearly inspired by a certain time-travelling film, and whilst not using anything outright from the film, it is a genuine homage to it, and very nicely done.

A must-visit for any Back To The Future fan. Not the hardest room that Iโ€™ve done in terms of complexity, but the sheer number of puzzles keep you busy. And the soundtrack and finale are some of the best Iโ€™ve seen at an escape room.
