Mama Bazooka: The Dome

Even now, after a drink, a game of pool in the ultra-funky lobby area of Mama Bazooka, a video replay of our game highlights (do I really look/sound like that?!), the drive back to our campsite and a full-on debrief with the other half of the team, I'm still a bit stumped as to what I was just a part of.We got out in time... but were we successful? Did I do puzzles? Did I run around like a headless chicken? Did we even just do an escape room?! The Dome defies convention, logic and, at times, time and space. Now that I look back on it, I can see the links, the threads of thought, the flow of the gameplay but in the game, I was a bewildered rabbit in the glaring headlights of The Dome, subject only to the whims of Mama Bazooka and the relentlessly bonkers imagination of whoever dreamed up the whole concept.
It's genius, really, and truly is one of those 'just go and play it' games where you need to embrace the lunacy and throw yourself into every moment because - as with anything truly enjoyable - it will be over before you know it and you'll be wishing you could go back to the beginning to play it again.

The Dome has an amazing briefing area with pool/darts/other games to keep you occupied before your game.
This game is now "old" but what happens in the game still surpasses most games that are being created today.
It is very easy to see why this game has been so talked about and so well rated. You simply cannot miss this game.

The most insane escape room I have ever done. I’m still not quite sure what happened or indeed why it happened or how it happened. Amazingly designed with mind-bending puzzles, and an added bonus of being able to watch the best moments and reactions back afterwards!

I was extremely excited to play the Dome and worried I was preparing myself for something that couldn't exist, so tried to be realistic about expectations. I would say it therefore met my expectations.. but I must stress that they were high! It was an excellent escape room and I had an amazing time while I was in there - non-stop fun. I had no clue what was going on but I really didn't care. We took the puzzles as they came, and just got stuck in!What I really want to stress is, don't be put off if you are a group of 2! We both got to experience pretty much everything, it wasn't too hard and the game was adapted cleverly when there were puzzles you couldn't normally solve without more people. I actually think we were a good-sized group and I certainly think 6 would've been a bit much. One element of the room didn't work so I have to knock off half a star. The fantastic host reacted appropriately, by noticing the glitch and moving us on while at the same time reporting the issue so someone could come to fix it ASAP, but I couldn't help but feel disappointed that we didn't get to experience everything and not knowing whether this would have made a difference in whether we escaped.Slightly anti-climactic ending.
