Again, this location has one flight of stairs and no elevator. Please read our other review on "The Tomb" for more details on their location. After playing "The Tomb" we were invited to try out "The Bunker" room as beta testers. We were joined by three other game masters there who used to help with the creation of the other rooms. This review is solely based on our experience as beta testers as the room was still in process. It does not reflect the finished product or how they are going to improve it. We really enjoyed the set design in the beginning and the storyline. As we progressed, there were issues obviously with the tech part and it lasted more than two hours. We also realized that the ventilation was not great in the rest of the rooms as it got quite warm while we waited. If you are claustrophobic, then this room might not be the one for you. There's one particular area you'll need to spend a good amount of time in, but hopefully they make some updates. It seems as if this room did need a bit of knowledge of Russian history. Although both rooms were "5-Gen High-Tech" rooms, we felt that "The Tomb" was much more well designed and had a clearer storyline.

** UPDATE - We regret to inform that "Escapeburg" has closed its doors.

Disclosure: We thank EscapeBurg for inviting us to beta test the game. Although complimentary admission was generously provided, it does not impact our opinion on the review whatsoever.
