A very special room with a primordially human theme, which always provides funny moments. While the theme, scenery and the entire arrangement (the Time Machines universe is in general so much fun) are unique throughout, the puzzles in the second part of the room are rather classic. Nevertheless, this room is an absolute must-play for escape room enthusiasts due to its uniqueness.
Hammer!! Extrem lustig mit schlüssigen Rätseln, die sich unglaublich gut in das Thema eingefügt haben. Der Trip nach Mailand hat sich allein deswegen gelohnt.
Bonkers in every sense of the word. Everything was themed incredibly and every puzzle made thematic sense to the development of a baby. I never thought that I would be born again but now I have in puzzle form. Some excellent uses of the five senses, funny moments and great solid puzzles. Easily deserving of the TERPECA nominations it has. Highly recommend!
The scenography is spectacularly functional to the story! Everything, absolutely everything, inside the room is created and designed according to the plot, that is, the entire journey from the moment of conception, through pregnancy to birth. The story is performed in a sublime way, without ever falling into the vulgar, but rather maintaining an always playful tone.
To try at least once in a lifetime!
Reviews by escape room review sites
I can see why Birth Machine is so popular, mostly because it doesn’t take itself seriously and has a very impressive set. Personally, I preferred the puzzles in Time Machine, but each to their own and all that.
Try the impossible! That is Dr. Mad’s motto and that’s exactly what he has achieved with his latest invention. No one can remember their birth, so wouldn’t it be phenomenal if we knew exactly how it all happened? Thanks to the Doctor’s incredible Birth Machine, we are now able to experience our birth again consciously, from the baby’s perspective. The whole process takes, how could it be otherwise, 9 months or 40 weeks.
