📖 THE STORY

There's been an outbreak of a deadly virus called Apocu-enza. The antidote has been locked in a lab by a scientist with codes, puzzles, and safes. You only have 60 minutes before you get infected too. Can you make it out alive? The fate of the human race lies in your hands.

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

• The puzzles all fit closely to the theme of the room. Most of them were Math and Chemistry related.

• There were a few cool visual puzzles.

• The ending did add a special effect that made us feel like we've completed the mission and have been saved from the virus.

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

• The set design felt too much like a regular office rather than a lockdown laboratory. We didn't feel a sense of urgency during the gameplay especially being that there was an outbreak out there and we only have a limited amount of time left. Perhaps adding a countdown timer might help.

• A prop confused us on where it should be utilized. There was no indication that it should have been placed at that certain spot.

• There was an item that was very difficult to maneuver. Even by following the instructions carefully, we were not able to get it to work properly.

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

This room focused more on the number of puzzles rather than the ambiance. We would recommend this room to puzzle lovers (especially if you like Math) rather than people that prefer heavy narrative or tech. If you intend to go in as a smaller group then definitely go with the "divide and conquer" route. Channel your inner scientist and see if you have what it takes to get that antidote!
