With this escape room, instead of going back in time, we are moved in the year 2132. Nations are fighting for natural resources that are extremely rare at this time. Earth is radioactive and unsafe to live on so you have to find a way in this bunker to be safe!

I like the scenario, it’s just funny that instead of having to escape, we have to actually get into a bunker. It’s the reverse version of escaping! The decors are great in this room especially the first one! The only thing is that I’m not too sure of is the connection of all the rooms together, it didn’t make much sense to me.

The puzzle were okay but I wasn’t really impressed. I preferred the puzzles in the other rooms. The puzzles are not too hard so good for beginners. We only had trouble with the very last one because we completely over complicated it. 

The way to give hints is the worst ever. You have a Ipad with all the different puzzles to solve listed, you chose a puzzle and you decide if you want a small, medium or big hint. You have 60 points and every time you take a hint, you are losing points. The worst thing is that every time we checked for a hint, we already knew the info so it turned out to be so useless!

This room is not my favourite at this location, I thought that the other rooms are much more fun and interesting to do. It’s not bad enough to not do it but depending on how many you’ve done before you might be disappointed. It’s good for a small group and it’s family friendly. We liked it okay and we escaped!
