Great interface, good puzzles, and humor for a bonus.
Short, simple, fun. When this came out, early in the pandemic, there wasn't much else like it. At this point, there are now longer, cleverer, more challenging games for the price point, but it's still cute and worth a play.
Blew our minds, loved it so much. We loved the in-person one so had high hopes for the digital version, it did not disappoint. Well done team, my team loved it. Tricky, brain taxing and considered.
Great activity for virtual team building. We bought 2 keys to introduce a bit of healthy competition. Made a good change from virtual quizzes or awkward virtual work drinks. Discovered some hidden talents for problem solving!!
Effectively an interactive computer puzzle game that multiple players can control at the same time. But while different players can certainly try different things in their notes, I wish there were more opportunities for players to simultaneously do things at the same time. Still, I'm adding an extra star to encourage development in this direction.
First time trying an escape room online - has really good fun with friends. Good way to spend an evening. Worked well with friends in different houses
Funny and engaging (as you would expect from the Bewilder Box team - I've not had the fortune to play the Eltham live games as of yet). Our first experience of online ER so hard to judge value but we had a good time overall (albeit a lot of cursing over being very stuck on one puzzle). Felt like good value for money and would definitely play the next part.
Great tech, well suited for people in different locations, fun code breaking puzzles.
Full of escape room style puzzles. So much fun! Can't wait for Part 2
Very well put together online sync game you can play with others over the internet. All players see the same thing, so no parallel play option. The graphics are nice, some hilariously bad jokes and nice puzzles. Not groundbreaking but very clever and neat game.
Awesome game. Lots of lateral thinking and easy to follow but fun instructions.
We'll definitely be back for part TWO!!
Really enjoyed playing this with my regular escape room group during lockdown!
Really enjoyable - a great way to do an escape room with friends during lockdown.
WOW this game was so much fun to play, the puzzles were beautiful and it really had the feel of a real escape room, I definitely felt under pressure! The puzzles were hard enough that we found this a real challenge (as you can tell by our appalling time) but it was so satisfying when we worked it out. I can't wait for part 2!
Works very well as a collaborative remote play online escape room. Looking forward to Part 2!

A collaboration from the escape room companies Bewilder Box and Eltham Escapes, Sector X is an online escape game where you must guide the robot B.R.U.C.E. through a series of puzzles. The new breed of online escapes is very diverse in style, and this one uses a custom computer interface with cute retro graphics. Although it looks like a computer game, you're not moving the robot around in the style of, say, a platform game - rather, there are hotspots to click on that show puzzle clues o...
Love robot jokes? This game had plenty! I love it when humor could be added to a puzzle game as it definitely eases the tension between the teammates during puzzle solving.
If I had a penny for every time someone told me I HAD to play The B.R.U.C.E. Project by Bewilder Box I’d be … Well … A bit better off than I am now. Point being, this game felt like a long awaited rite of passage I needed to play. Having finished it, it’s not my favourite play at home game every but I completely understand why it’s on the pedestal it is. It’s really UNIQUE and cracks a lot of problems of collaboration that other escape games still struggle with. A big round of applause for Bewilder Box and Eltham Escape Room’s ingenuity on this one.
Sector X: The B.R.U.C.E. Project is a fun and quirky game that has a good range of challenging puzzles tucked under its belt. Its setup encourages communication and teamwork, and it gets that right in spades. The simplistic design betrays some solid puzzlework that plays well to its medium.
I’d recommend this for work team building events (as we did it), and teams of 3-4 who aren’t too bothered about immersion and just want a good time.
