📖 THE STORY
Your spacecraft is caught off guard by a fierce and voracious black hole! If it is not stopped within the next hour, the entire solar system will be devoured! Your sole chance lies in a neighboring space station holding antimatter to obliterate the black hole. Are you able to inject the antimatter into the black hole to halt its rampage and rescue the solar system in time?

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE
We absolutely adore the interaction with the AI that served as our introduction and our trusty "helper" throughout our incredible journey in space! It truly enhanced the excitement and immersion of the experience.
The meticulous attention to the set design of the spaceship, particularly the window offering a view of outer space, truly enhanced the realism of the experience. It completely transported us out of our everyday world for an hour.
Throughout the experience, we frequently sensed the pressing nature of the situation, particularly as it neared its conclusion. Our hearts were racing intensely.
The team had numerous instances of collaborating as well as splitting up tasks to work independently. It truly felt like we were space cadets, each with our own specific role to fulfill.
Normally, our focus would be on repairing a damaged ship, but in this instance, we had to approach it from a different perspective. This certainly presented a one-of-a-kind situation. The unexpected turn towards the end was particularly enjoyable. It was like watching a emotional scene from a drama.
Throughout the game, there were many well-crafted puzzles incorporated with the props. I especially liked the tasks that demanded the use of various tools and encouraged innovative thinking. Even with the modern technology available in the setting, I still found the classic lock and key puzzles to be equally delightful.
🧩 MISSED THE MARK
This game has become one of the best games we've experienced at The Escape Game! There's absolutely nothing to complain about here - it's simply outstanding!
🏹 TAKE A SHOT?
Have you ever dreamt of embarking on a space journey, exploring the unknown depths of the universe? If so, you're in for a treat! This game is not just a game; it's a portal to a world where problem-solving, teamwork, and pure immersion converge to create an unforgettable adventure.
Each member of the team brought a unique perspective, a different set of skills that, when combined, propelled us further into the unknown. The feeling of accomplishment that washed over us with each successful mission was unparalleled; it was as if we were truly astronauts on a critical mission in outer space. As the game drew to a close, none of us were ready to leave this extraordinary world behind. The thought of facing another crisis in space seemed almost inviting. I'm ready for the next adventure!
