About the escape room
Step on board a doomed spaceship, where a rogue Dalek has tapped into the power system, in an attempt to recharge its weapons. Should the Doctor’s most feared enemy be successful, it will exterminate all in its path. You the Doctor’s friends, must prevent this catastrophe. Shutting down the ship’s power core will ensure the Dalek cannot activate its weapons. However, the ship’s life support systems rely on the same energy source, meaning that shutting down the power would result in the death of all 10,000 passengers. You have just 60 minutes to find a way out of this impossible situation. You must defeat the Dalek to allow the spaceship to continue safely on its journey. Take too long and your destination will be extermination!

Overview of artificial intelligence
AIReviews rave about the immersive set and Dalek audio, plus game masters who keep the energy up. The room is notably linear, which some duos appreciated, though others felt bottlenecked or idle. A recurring gripe is unclear puzzle logic or subtle triggers, with a few mentions of resets, broken bits, or slow hints. Doctor Who knowledge isn’t required, but fans get extra joy from the theme.
WeaknessesSome puzzles feel guessy, finicky, or poorly signposted, and a few teams hit prop/reset issues. Progress triggers can be easy to miss, and occasional delays on hints were noted. A couple of players wanted more Dalek interaction and felt the single-room format underdelivered for the price.
StrengthsHigh production value and a convincing Dalek presence create a cinematic vibe. Staff get frequent shout‑outs for warmth, humor, and helpful nudges. The time pressure and stealthy Dalek moments add fun tension.
SecurityClear briefing and a monitored, low‑risk set; no rough physical tasks reported. The venue sits inside a lively bar space, but the game room itself feels controlled and safe.
Level of fearMore sci‑fi tension than horror; expect loud Dalek lines and a ticking clock rather than scares. Generally fine for families with older kids or teens.
Actors' gameGame masters like Matt, Nathan, Rose, and Isaac are praised for being welcoming, attentive, and quick with clues. A minority reported awkward outros or waiting for hints.
Quality of riddlesMostly linear with some neat tech and a few fresh interactions. When it flows, it’s satisfying, but logic gaps and vague starts can stall teams, so watch for subtle visual or audio changes. Enthusiasts may crave tighter puzzle signposting.
PlotYou’re the Doctor’s allies, trying to outsmart a rogue Dalek and keep 10,000 passengers alive in under an hour. The stakes stay high without giving away story beats.
Difficulty levelSolid mid‑tier edging to tough due to linear bottlenecks and ambiguous cues. Playable as a duo, though a third pair of hands can smooth the pace.
