I found this game to be very illogical at time, I also really did not like the constant stopping and starting of the game due to having to watch story driven videos throughout.

great hostingbroken tech

Always dubious of ‘tech-driven’ games and this was no exception, tech sadly was broken a couple of times throughout the game but the host managed this very well. Imogen was a fantastic games master - an asset to the team. A few puzzles a tad illogical and most of them lacking a bit of depth. Sadly not up to the standard I would expect from Cave Escape but nonetheless an okay room.

Interesting storyline, some original puzzles. 

I was excited to play this game, but I was disappointed. Cave Escape have a great location, with their cave walls and underground space. But they ruined this game’s potential by sticking white plastic sheets over the original cave walls, with obvious screws and gaps. I was expecting an exciting ice-cave but it was more of a plastic cave  

Personally I am not a fan of high tech roboty games, so I was quite fed up with it from the start, with all the same finger print, lazer beam, hand print access and buttony puzzles that never work, same as every other high tech game. 

This game is great if you enjoy high tech games. But Carfax and Monumentum are well worth the visit over Iceman.

hi-techvery difficult

Great story and theme. However no satisfying puzzles which were often overly complicated and borderline illogical. Quite repetitive and no discovery elements. Felt like a lot was controlled by gamesmaster. Appreciate the effort to give people more time in rooms but would prefer less time and more satisfying.

It's a very different kind of room with a unique theme and structure, which is no mean feat. The tech is excellent in here and it is an extremely tech-reliant game.

We're more of a padlock and codes type team than a techy one, so this didn't really play to our strengths but, nevertheless, it looks fantastic and has some very cool (no pun intended) elements that we really enjoyed.

Another great addition to Cave Escape. Lots to do in the time available, you have to collect a number of weapons in order to help achieve the end goal. You also get to make a choice that affects the outcome of the game. The game was very high tech and required some out of the box thinking. Great hosting and hinting methods used throughout the game.

Has the potential to be a really good room. The theming is really good and the story is clear and at times quite comical. The hosting was brilliant as always. But compared to the other rooms at this site, I can't in good conscience give it higher than 3 stars. 

Reviews by escape room review sites

This is my very first escape room at Cave Escape, and honestly I enjoyed it a lot. I’ve heard from other enthusiasts that it’s probably the weakest at Cave Escape… For that reason, I’ll definitely be back to play some more rooms by them in the new year. But since right now I know no better, I can safely say I had a lot of fun. One of the standouts of our whole experience at Cave Escape were the Games Masters. We interacted with several people working at Cave Escape, and every single person was helpful, upbeat and funny. It’s clear the team are very close knit and love what they do, and that was a really nice touch.
