Zombies are roaming the streets; no one is safe. Humanity's only hope is an elite group of scientists, gathered together to find a cure. Rumour has it, the scientists have fallen prey to the flesh eating monsters. Luckily the cure has been safeguarded.

The fate of the world is in your hands... you've gained access to the lab to find the cure. Unluckily, you've been exposed to the active zombie pathogen in the lab and you have 1 hour before you turn. Can you get through the scientist's defences to find the cure, save yourself and the world?

This game was so plain it was unforgiveable - Basic puzzles and nothing special.

Lifeless Lab

For one of their newest escapes, this room was a let-down. As you’ll see below, the story has been done a million times.

Story

Search a lab for a cure to the zombie outbreak- but find it quick as you’ve been exposed to the virus and will turn in an hour.

Puzzles

The puzzles were very bog-standard- I didn’t even have to think for some of them. In terms of hints, we needed one or two little nudges.

Mise-en-scene

The design/scenery was reminiscent of a tired prop room for a ghost train. A scattering of disfigured, tattily dressed dummies and the odd piece of laboratory equipment resulted in an experience that lacked any sort of character. There were missed opportunities for scares here.

Final Comments

We broke out in good time and, well, that was that. It’s only fair to say that, after leaving this review on TripAdvisor, a member of staff got in contact to say immediate improvements to the room will be made.

Another take on the generic Zombie game. The game play was fine.. But due to some broken tech we had keys work in multiple places causing us to advance without completing an entire room.

One of, if not the best Breakout game we've played, plus we saw some things we haven't seen before.
