You are part of a crew onboard the Nautilus which has become disabled and is sinking to the ocean floor. You have 60 minutes to restore the power to the engines, stop the submarine from sinking, and escape to the surface before running out of oxygen. As you progress through the game, you and your team will encounter a variety of puzzles and obstacles, including repairing damaged systems and accessing locked areas of the submarine.

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE
The set design in the Submarine Escape Game creates a realistic atmosphere, and the physical puzzles make for an engaging experience.
🧩 MISSED THE MARK
The props and puzzles in the room felt unusable and worn out, detracting from the immersion and story world.
The game heavily relies on physical manipulation of objects and equipment, with puzzles that involve tasks such as steering the ship, pressing buttons, balancing balls, and connecting wires. These dexterity puzzles can pose a challenge for some players, particularly those with limited fine motor skills or hand-eye coordination.
The final puzzle of the game was not enjoyable and proved to be frustrating for the players. The puzzle was one of our least favorites, and having to complete it twice throughout the game only added to disappointment.
🏹 TAKE A SHOT?
"The Submarine" is a unique experience that offers a lot of physical dexterity puzzles. These puzzles require players to manipulate objects and equipment in order to progress through the game. While this aspect of the game is its most unique feature, some players may find it frustrating and time-consuming. The puzzles can take a while to complete and may slow down the game's momentum.
Despite this, there are some enjoyable elements to the game, particularly the novelty of being immersed in a submarine setting. The set design and sound effects help to create an immersive experience that transports players to another world.
Overall, the Submarine Escape Game is worth checking out if you're looking for a unique and physically challenging escape room experience. However, it may not be the best fit for those who prefer cerebral puzzles or have difficulty with physical dexterity.
