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!

A really good experience - not quite up there with the best rooms in terms of puzzles and having enough to do, but the sets are great and there’s a really good finale! I’m not much of a back to the future fan, but if you are you’ll love this one!

Absolutely loved this room. So much effort and attention has gone into this room. Easily one of my top 3 rooms! Totally immersive and clever puzzles.

As you’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 I’d say that the majority of this game focuses on the movie’s setting more than on the movie’s plot. The premise here is that you’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 I’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 I’ve seen at an escape room.
