The Doctor needs you: A rogue Dalek, a spaceship on the verge of destruction and an impossible choice…
Step on board a doomed spaceship, where a rogue Dalek has tapped into the power system, in an attempt to recharge its weapons. Should the Doctor’s most feared enemy be successful, it will exterminate all in its path.
You the Doctor’s friends, must prevent this catastrophe. Shutting down the ship’s power core will ensure the Dalek cannot activate its weapons. However, the ship’s life support systems rely on the same energy source, meaning that shutting down the power would result in the death of all 10,000 passengers.

Appalling quality from start to end
Firstly, I’m not a Dr Who fan, but I LOVED the theatrics of this game. That was all I could really love about it. There wasn’t some nice moments, but ALOT of puzzles just didn’t work. This caused a lot of wasted time for us and ended up in us failing.
I guess with games this hi-tech, things can go wrong more often, and in our case, it clearly did.
I don’t usually complain, but on this occasion I did. They offered us a free game as way of apology which we accepted (we played their pirate game with this on same day).
I think, if everything worked, I’d have probably really enjoyed this “game”. It’s still an escaperoom, but more of an immersive set-piece style experience. In full working order, this is an absolute MUST for families with younger players as it is really exciting theatrically.
