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
AIMost reviewers praise the immersive set, BBC tie‑in audio, and overall theme, while noting the game is very linear. Puzzles draw mixed feedback: some clever moments, but frequent complaints about unclear logic, finicky tech, and not noticing what a solve triggered. A few groups hit broken or mis‑reset elements and inconsistent hint delivery. Doctor Who fans tend to rate it higher than puzzle purists.
WeaknessesSeveral players found the logic loose, with guessy steps and subtle triggers that weren’t obvious. Tech can be temperamental, and a few reports mention broken or mis‑reset props. Hint timing and host wrap‑ups vary from prompt and friendly to slow or awkward.
StrengthsHigh production value and an authentic Dalek presence make the room feel cinematic. The story comes through clearly, with a few novel mechanics and stealthy, pressure‑building moments. Works well for two players because of the linear flow.
SecurityStandard briefing and monitored play; the experience is mostly tech and observation, with minimal physical demand. No safety issues flagged in reviews.
Level of fearMore tense than scary; it’s sci‑fi peril, not horror. Suitable for families and younger fans who can handle some pressure and robot menace.
Actors' gameStaff are generally friendly, but interactions range from helpful and prompt to delayed or awkward at the end. The Dalek voice acting stands out and adds a lot of flavor to the experience.
Quality of riddlesLargely linear with some neat ideas, but clarity is uneven. Expect moments where you must watch for environmental changes after a solve. Enthusiasts may find parts illogical or finicky; casual players with hints do fine.
PlotYou’re on a failing spaceship with a rogue Dalek trying to recharge its weapons, and you’ve got 60 minutes to stop it without dooming thousands of passengers. It’s a high‑stakes Doctor Who dilemma that pushes you toward smart, stealthy solutions.
Difficulty levelModerate to hard, depending on how much hinting you use. Best for pairs or small groups; seasoned solvers may be frustrated by the logic gaps, while fans and newer players often enjoy the ride.
