As brave agents, your mission is critical: you have just one hour to secure and evacuate TOP SECRET British intelligence to safety before Axis air strikes devastate the Town.Navigate through the debris-laden streets, where every step brings you closer to uncovering vital information that could change the course of the war. The clock is ticking, and the enemy is closing in. Can you decipher the clues, overcome the challenges, and ensure the success of 'Operation Overload'? The fate of the nation rests in your hands.

A very immersive room that makes you feel like you really are in war torn times! Well themed puzzles that revolve around items of the time and the old fashioned props and scenery keeps you well immersed. The radio presenter styled clues were charming that kept you thinking on your feet. Overall, an amazing room that is very well thought out that keeps you thinking outside the box!
Great use of space and a nice framing mechanism for each section of the game. Enjoyed the special effects and the variety of puzzles
Excellent room design with great use of space. I’ve done a few WW2 rooms before but this is particularly evocative and immersive. Good puzzles and some delightfully surprising moments. You can tell the hosts/designers are enthusiasts who must love what they do here.
Definitely up there with one of my favourite games some clever puzzles, elements we have never seen before and an absolutely bonkers ending you will not expect.

LevelUp have added their own little twists on what was already a good game at its former home in Maidstone to make Operation: Overload great. The grand finale is certainly spectacularly bonkers, in the very best way (which seems to be pretty on brand for the company to be honest.)
