🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

There were a lot of puzzles that required teamwork to solve due to the spacing and the size, which made sure everyone was involved in the game.
There was a great intro that brought us into the immersion. There was also a mid-game scene that was something exciting to experience.
The set design was fantastic with quality props, computer screens, other nifty items and tech which added to the game atmosphere.
This room used a lot of tech that flowed and incorporated into the experience for some fun eureka moments.
The story was a simple one but Mission built it up with a lot of detail and key points in the game to expand it.

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

This was an amazing room to play through and we found no major misses here.

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

"Carbon: 3708" was a well-polished experience from start to finish. From the introduction video to the beautiful set design and extra details in the room, we were immersed in the experience. The puzzles backed with the tech, which ranged in difficulty and style, had everyone participating and engaged. We played with 8 people, which felt like the maximum number of people that would fit comfortably in the room. For players who want to see it all, we would recommend 4 players. Anyone who is a fan of Sci-Fi, cyberpunk or "Terminator", would enjoy playing this room. Are you ready to save humanity?
