Mad Machines: Dream Machine

Introduction

There are escape rooms that make us feel clever. There are rooms that scare us, move us or transport us somewhere else. And then there is Dream Machine.

After Birth Machine and Time Machine, Dr. Mad has another invention waiting for us. This time, instead of travelling through time or exploring where we came from, we are invited to do something considerably easy: Go to sleep.

What follows is 120 minutes inside someone else’s gloriously unfiltered imagination.

Dream Machine is quirky, playful, clever, completely absurd and unlike almost anything else we have played. And don’t forget you have to let yourself become part of the madness.

Leave your dignity at reception. You won’t need it where you’re going.

Story & Emotion

Dr. Mad has developed a machine capable of sending us into an incredibly vivid dream. So we lie down, close our eyes and allow ourselves to be transported into his latest experiment.

What could possibly go wrong?

The further we travel, the stranger things become. Yet somehow, within this completely ridiculous universe, everything connects. There is a story pulling us forward and an objective we need to achieve, but the route there is filled with situations we couldn’t possibly have predicted.

Fans of the previous Mad Machines adventures will also discover a familiar character playing an important role in this story. We love that connection. But the best part is that we aren’t simply watching the absurdity unfold around us. We are required to participate in it.

There were several moments when we looked at what the game apparently expected us to do and thought: Seriously? Yes. Seriously.
