About the escape room
A missile is on its way to Brighton and you’ve only got 60 minutes before it lands.
Luckily you have the keys to your Grandad’s old Cold War bunker, but it is not in good shape. You’ll have to use your hour wisely to fix up the bunker and bring it back online in order to survive!
In this game, communication is king because your team will be split at the start, with half taking a different side each and only a small opening to communicate and pass items between the two halves.
Designed by Pressure Point Escape Rooms and run at their venue in Ashford previously.

AI
Brief assessment
Navigator AIGo for the split-team Cold War bunker race where sharp communication and neat logic save Brighton from a missile. Tight, atmospheric set-dressing and interlinked puzzles make the hour fly.
Location
AI Overview
AIPlayers consistently praise the theming and how props tie directly into the tasks. The opening split demands strong teamwork and clear comms, which many found fun and distinctive. Space is on the smaller side, and a few note the flow dips in spots, though overall momentum is good. Hosts set the tone well from the start.
WeaknessesThe room is compact, so it can feel a bit tight during the split. A couple of sections don’t flow as smoothly as the rest, and the separation can frustrate groups with shaky communication.
StrengthsImmersive bunker vibe with cohesive, story-led puzzles. Standout teamwork moments and a charming outro that lands nicely.
SecurityClear instructions up front help manage the separation and the tight footprint. Expect confined areas and passing items through a small opening, but nothing extreme.
Level of fearNot a scare-focused game—more tense than terrifying. Family-friendly for teams who want pressure without horror elements.
Actors' gameReviews highlight a solid host briefing and friendly setup. No live actor interaction mentioned inside the game itself.
Quality of riddlesCo-op by design, with information and items divided across both sides early on. Logic is fair and readable, and solutions connect to the set rather than feeling abstract. A few transitions feel less smooth, but the overall arc holds together.
PlotA missile is inbound and you’ve got 60 minutes to repair Grandad’s Cold War bunker and bring it online. Originally designed by Pressure Point, it opens with the team split and coordinating through a small hatch.
Difficulty levelModerate overall, and tougher if your team’s communication is rusty. Coordinated groups will move steadily; solo-minded players may stall early.
