We were torn on this room. I loved it and my teammate was rather non plussed. It is a bit different to the styles of the other room.and we played it just before it was retired but I really enjoyed it
Probably my least favourite of all the rooms at XscapeNow, just not a massive fan of the theme. Didn’t find it very exciting but still enjoyed it
Out of the 5 rooms here that we did throughout the day this was the room that I personally feel had less of a nice flow throughout. Now that is no fault of the room, but more that this is their most linear room and our team works best when we can multi-task, so there were a lot more moments where I felt a bit lost, just waiting for other members to solve puzzles. This room also felt a lot smaller and stuffier than the others so I wouldn't want to have more than 4 people in there. That said, this was still a great room! There were lots of puzzles that felt very unique and varied, with a nice mixture of lock types. Everything was very logical, and yet again the only reason we were stuck for a while was due to a lack of observation on our part, the puzzles were all fairly straightforward and very well themed, with just enough signposting to keep you going. All of the rooms here are very good at using their space and everything is there for a reason! No red herrings here, which we love.
Overall, a great little room which a good story and lovely variety of puzzles.
Fun room, with some really cool puzzles to solve!

Time Trap’s wartime game is based around Bletchley counter-espionage. Set in a railway station, it gives you the job of identifying which of seven suspects is a spy. You have an additional bonus mission - apparently the spy has hidden several cylinders of coded information around the station, and you’re to find as many of these as you can.
All Time Trap’s games boast high quality sets. Station X is I think the most authentic-feeling of theirs so far, perhaps because it’s set in a more recent ti...
I mean, wow. Going up those stairs is legit like walking through a door into the past. Every element is perfectly in keeping with the room. In short – when can I go back to try one of their other rooms? Can it be, like, now?
