Another intense experience well executed with some fun moments and some puzzles that look simple but it's easy to overthink.

Not a huge fan of Zombie themes but we really enjoyed this 75min experience. Intense throughout with a good use of live actors for both scares and puzzle interactions. Challenging for 2 but definitely doable.

Reviews by escape room review sites

This game isn’t of the same level as their two newer games, but if you’re looking for a more traditional (not full horror) escape room, then Zombie Outbreak 2.0 is a good shout. The set is decent, puzzles are fine, and it’s a good game that could start to get people hooked on escape rooms.
