You were invited to a press conference for the big reveal of "the machine that can change scientific laws". But it seems like something had gone wrong with the machine and everything was out of control! You put all your hope on the onsite AI. Could you guys work together to save the world? You only have 60 minutes to find out...

We met our team and the GM over Zoom. After the introduction to the rules (no inappropriate behavior please!), we met with the AI. Our GM was in character from the start. We were given instructions on how to interact with her as if she's an actual robot. Instructions were send throughout the game via the chat box in Zoom. It's very important to keep notes as you might forget about the previous rules if the new information pushes them up.

This is not a typical escape room where you'll need to move around and search for items and locks. All the "magic" happens in a fairly small square room. Even though it's compact, you actually will feel like there's a lot more to do than a spacious space.

I can't reveal too much about how the game was played as that would give away spoilers but just note that it did take some time for us to get use to the rules but once we understood everything, the sky was the limit (you'll probably only get this pun after playing the game).😜

These are not your typical escape room puzzles. You'll need to think outside the box and use a lot of your imagination. I really enjoyed the challenges and the way the game "responded" to the challenges that we created for it. Every suggestion we gave to the GM to implement was fulfilled. There were scenes that we saw on camera that I'm still unsure till this day how they're able to do it but from what we saw, it happened. Although the entire game was played in a repetitive "action-reaction" style, it was quite addicting. I just wanted to keep trying new things to see what would happen. At that point, solving puzzles felt secondary but the solutions were ingenious. I'm glad to have a team of strong players as we didn't use any hints and escaped with seconds left on the clock!

I'm amazed by the concept of this game. To create a machine that can change physical states of items and to be able actually show us in a blink of an eye was amazing. You can tell the hard work they've put into the production. I would've loved to be able to have more time in the game to see what else could be done with our crazy suggestions (we were told that we're the only group that asked to do two things that no one else have asked before). Since we had a full house of players, everyone had different thoughts. Some players doubted others by saying: "No way, Really?" And when that idea actually worked, we all uttered "WOW" in unison. Playing this game was like watching a magic show. I would suggest going into the game with an open mind so you can fully embrace this unique experience. This is an opportunity not to be missed!
