About the escape room
A version of the normally dormant Chronos virus has mutated, becoming deadly, resulting in the death of any living thing it comes into contact with. This pandemic has decimated the human populace and plunged modern society into chaos. After several failed attempts at finding a cure it is now time to activate the last resort. The Powers That Govern, a mysterious secret society, have enlisted you to pilot a machine developed from the collective research of some of the most brilliant minds in history; Da Vinci, Tesla and Einstein. This machine is the final contingency, it will shift you through the voids of space and time… Your destination, Victorian London. It is here that you will find patient zero, the only known fatality caused by Chronos up until it’s mutation in the present day. The research from this rare case was once lost to time but now you have the power to get it back and find a cure. Change the past, fix the present and give humanity a future.

AI Overview

AIPlayers consistently praise the high‑quality set and the padlock‑free, thematic mechanisms. Game masters get a lot of love for timely, light‑touch hinting. The main gripe is weak signposting, with one late directional puzzle feeling underclued and a bit red‑herring heavy. Overall flow lands well for many, but some teams need nudges to keep momentum.
WeaknessesSignposting can be thin, leading to stalls and a few leaps in logic. One directional sequence near the end lacks clear ordering and surrounding images can mislead. Some note overlap in vibe with Curio and wanted more variety from the venue.
StrengthsBeautifully built Victorian setting and clever tech that replaces keys with satisfying interactions. Puzzles feel integrated with the story and deliver some neat wow moments.
SecurityNo issues flagged in reviews; standard escape‑room brief and pacing implied. No data on strobes or crawling, but nothing suggests heavy physical demands.
Level of fearNot pitched as horror and nothing in the feedback suggests jump scares. Feels fine for teens and skittish players alike.
Actors' gameHosts like Frazer and Pagan get shout‑outs for calm, upbeat guidance and well‑timed clues. Interaction is supportive without being overbearing, which smooths out the rough patches.
Quality of riddlesLock‑free, tactile mechanisms shine, including a fun orb‑movement element that feels on‑theme. Most puzzles read fair once clued, though a couple need clearer direction to avoid guesswork. Variety is good and the room generally flows when signposting lands.
PlotYou’re sent by a shadowy order to Victorian London to recover lost research on Chronos patient zero and stop a deadly mutation. Change the past to save the future—no spoilers needed.
Difficulty levelModerate with spikes; newcomers may need hints when signposting dips. Puzzle fans and returning teams will enjoy the challenge and the no‑locks design.

The set nails the Victorian look, though it felt a bit close to Curio. We loved the orb transport and several clever puzzles, but signposting was patchy and a late directional sequence lacked any clear order, with nearby images turning into red herrings. A few tweaks and this would be stellar; our host’s gentle hints kept us moving.

As a puzzle nerd, the orb transport alone made my night. Flow was solid, tech behaved, and the story actually mattered. Big thanks to Pagan for the calm nudges.

We’ve played a bunch at Escapologic and Chronos sits near the top for us. The room flows nicely, the puzzles are smart, and the lock‑free design meshes perfectly with the theme. Pagan was excellent and really enhanced the run.

Loved the tactile builds and the whole time‑hop vibe. No padlocks anywhere, just cool gadgets that click when you nail them. Our GM kept the hints light and spot‑on. Left grinning.

Set looks lush and very Victorian, but we stalled a few times because we couldn’t tell what to tackle next. One late directional bit felt underclued. Still had a strong run with some great payoffs.

High‑energy room with zero padlocks and lots of fresh, playful mechanisms. We had a blast from start to finish, and Frazer was superb at the helm.

Really polished room, though it did remind me a lot of Curio in style. Would’ve liked a tad more signposting, but the mechanisms are quality and the hosting was excellent.

Atmosphere slapped, but we spun our wheels more than once until a hint pushed us along. When it moved, it moved fast and felt great. Not scary, just brainy.

Slick new game with no locks in sight and a top‑tier GM keeping things smooth. Short, sharp, and satisfying.
