AI Overview

AIPlayers praise the logical puzzle design, smooth story flow, and the satisfying who’s-the-traitor reveal. The setting leans more office than spectacle, which some find plain compared to other rooms at the venue. Difficulty trends higher, with several reviews suggesting a team of three to four to tackle parallel paths. Solo play is possible but tough and can stall on longer logic chains.
WeaknessesTheming is fairly bare-bones office, which can feel dry. Some puzzles run long and may bottleneck smaller teams. A few players felt it’s weaker than other rooms at the same site.
StrengthsStrong, fair logic puzzles with a neat deduction angle keep brains busy. The narrative connects the tasks well, and a couple of reveals land nicely. Build quality gets kudos from fans of the venue.
SecurityNothing suggests physical strain, strobe effects, or jump scares; it reads like a low-risk, office-style set. Standard briefing and hints apply; no special safety concerns noted.
Level of fearNot scary and no horror elements called out. Suitable for families and teens who enjoy thinking over thrills.
Actors' gameReviews don’t mention live actors or character interaction. Expect a puzzle-driven experience with standard hint support from the game master if needed.
Quality of riddlesLogic-heavy, deduction-focused, and largely fair, with multiple strands that can be worked in parallel. A couple of cool reveals break up the paper-and-brain work. Some longer logic sequences may require patience and teamwork.
PlotYou’re cryptographers racing to expose a traitor inside a Bletchley-inspired cybersecurity unit before time runs out. It’s a Cluedo-style hunt that ties clues to suspects in a clean, spoiler-free arc.
Difficulty levelSkews harder than average and best for groups of three to four. Newer players may need hints, while veterans will enjoy the depth and deduction.

The aim is to expose the traitor by ruling out suspects, and it’s one of the tougher rooms here. The set is basically an office, packed with logic puzzles and a couple of cool reveals. I’d bring 3–4 people as some tasks take a while, and overall I think other rooms at this venue are stronger.

Plenty to chew on and minimal searching, which I prefer. The room looks pretty plain, but the puzzles are solid and run in parallel so everyone stays busy. We escaped with seconds left and big smiles.

Three of us, one hour, and a lot of brain sweat. Fair puzzles, nice payoffs, nothing spooky, and we appreciated the final deduction step tying it all up.

Loved the deduction thread. Our team kept bouncing between suspect boards and logic grids, and when it clicked, it really clicked. Clean signposting, zero fluff, and a tidy finale.

If you’re here for big set pieces, this isn’t it. The logic chains are decent but a couple dragged, and the office vibe felt a bit sterile. Bring at least three people or you’ll spin your wheels.

Another hit from The Panic Room. The build feels high quality, the story moves cleanly from clue to clue, and the puzzle mix is spot on with a nice bit of deduction at the heart of it.

Story holds together and the traitor reveal is satisfying. Hints were gentle nudges rather than giveaways, which kept it fun. Solid night out for puzzle fans.

Not the most thrilling space, though the puzzles are decent. I wasn’t feeling great that day, which probably didn’t help, and the room is mostly a generic office. Going solo was rough since many strands can be worked at once.

Fun, immersive, and occasionally quite tricky. We stayed engaged throughout and left happy.
