May 2027, the world was turned into a blazing hell. Nuclear weapons launched by our national leaders set all cities aflame in a matter of minutes.

There were no winners, only losers. Humanity was plunged into total chaos in which morality, solidarity and dignity burned. 

London 2099, 72 years have passed since the Great Fire; among the radioactive debris of this once-great city, rats have survived and transformed, trying to take the lead of this new disfigured world.

Your mission is to thwart the plot of their leader, an unknown creature, half-man, half rat, hidden within the depths of the London Underground.

Amazing building, multiple rooms, decent host and some special immersive moments with cool tech and theming just let down by sometimes basic puzzles or sections that won't work without help from the game master. This made what could have been a really enjoyable experience quite stressful!

Great hosting by professor boo!

Unique setting in an abandoned underground station.

Great tech, logical and at times needing a high level of cooperation between players. Highly immersive. Unmissable.

illogicalpoor hosting😨creepy

Completely agree with the other review here. Game felt illogical and we never felt like we actually ‘solved’ anything. Just felt really poorly thought out to the point that you sort of lose interest. At one point we got a code, were told by the host that the code wasn’t needed, moved rooms and got locked through and the later had to try and remember the code. Really silly. Quite enjoyed their Codebreakers one. This was a step down.

beautifulillogicalbroken techquite easy😨creepy

The room is placed in quite impressive setting and is big and complex with multiple features that show the determination to create a special experience (including live actors, division kf the team at one point to divide the tasks, including special gear each llayer gets). Unfortunately, there are not many puzzles that would be logical or make any particular sense, at no point did we have a satisfaction of solving something and we had to be quided by the host a lot because the whole room was exceptionally illogical. Moreover, it included some broken tech which was just annoying. Therefore, our overall experience was frustrating rather than enjoyable. Would recommend a different room!

Reviews by escape room review sites

Underground 2099 has some cool moments and a good sense of adventure, but I’d like a little more signposting and definitely more light to make this a truly fun experience.

Mission: Breakout is very quickly going down in my personal hall of fame of “escape rooms you must visit if you’re in London” and Underground 2099 is another fantastically quirky and fun adventure in their catalogue. It’s well worth checking out for the physical location alone. 

We played a week after The Escape Roomer's review, and I’ve genuinely never been so conflicted writing an Escape Room review before.

Realistic
 Mission: Breakout have created a powerful immersive experience with a realistic theme, setting and genuine heritage. All combining to create a 60 minute adventure which takes you on a journey requiring skill and holding your nerve whilst having fun too.
