The Doctor needs you: A rogue Dalek, a spaceship on the verge of destruction and an impossible choice… Step on board a doomed spaceship, where a rogue Dalek has tapped into the power system, in an attempt to recharge its weapons. Should the Doctor’s most feared enemy be successful, it will exterminate all in its path.
You the Doctor’s friends, must prevent this catastrophe. Shutting down the ship’s power core will ensure the Dalek cannot activate its weapons. However, the ship’s life support systems rely on the same energy source, meaning that shutting down the power would result in the death of all 10,000 passengers.
You have just 60 minutes to find a way out of this impossible situation. You must defeat the Dalek to allow the spaceship to continue safely on its journey. Take too long and your destination will be extermination!

illogicalbroken tech
I didn't realise escape rooms could be this bad. It shouldn't be allowed - if this was your first escape room ever, you'd never do another one. Half the puzzles didnt work and were out of action, effectively written out of the game, there was zero chance you woudl complete this without practically being talked through it by the game master. It was horrendous. So bad that as soon as we walked out, we booked another room somewhere else in Reading. Couldn't leave on such a downer
The majority of the puzzles were broken, all too high tech and they just didn’t work and were easy to figure out, not very clever.The Dalek was cool but once you’ve seen it the novelty wears off.
Just so, so terrible. I wish I'd carefully read all the other reviews before playing. Several puzzles were broken but even if they hadn't been, the room is mostly guesswork and not actual puzzles. Huge disappointment and waste of time.
Room is designed as a single player set up due to the way the puzzles complete. The puzzles themselves aren't puzzles, they are random objects and images with no logical way to solve as there is no linkage. Reliant on the game master. Needs a rethink.

hi-techstory-drivenquite easy
Nice looking set, fun technology and enjoyable puzzles. Enjoyed hearing the real doctor (Jodie) guide us throughout. Definitely an easy game but was still fun.
