About the escape room
Some years ago the Cheney Manor potash mine shut down unexpectedly and the site was evacuated. Despite much speculation, the reason for closure remained obscure. Financial troubles… resource depletion… or worse, some kind of mining accident? Out of the blue, you and your team of investigative journalists receive an anonymous tip-off. The caller claims to work for a scientific research company that – until very recently – was using the mine to carry out a series of experiments that could have dangerous consequences… You’ve only got a small window of opportunity to sneak inside the mine and figure out what has been going on. This could be your chance to expose something huge, so what are you waiting for?!

AI Overview
AIPlayers rave about the set design and maintenance, calling the space immaculate and deeply themed. Puzzles lean techy but fair, with excellent signposting and a mix of linear and non-linear flow so teams can split up. The objective-based format shines: complete core goals, then pick off optional tasks, and hosts are attentive with timely nudges and, occasionally, an extra minute.
WeaknessesCritiques are rare; a few teams needed small nudges or a bonus minute. Tech-forward design may not scratch the itch for lock-and-key purists. Those seeking physically demanding challenges won’t find them here.
StrengthsImmersion is top-tier, with thoughtful theming and polished, reliable tech. The objective tracker and clear narrative keep the team aligned, and the tactile puzzle design feels purposeful. Hosts earn praise for care and smooth hinting.
SecurityRoom quality is described as mint and well maintained, with no issues flagged. Standard briefing and clear on-screen objectives help keep play controlled and comfortable.
Level of fearNot a scare-fest—more atmospheric than frightening. Suitable for teens and nervous players; no reports of jump scares or horror elements.
Actors' gameNo live actors mentioned; interaction is mainly through the game master and in-room systems. Hosts are described as attentive, friendly, and on-point with hints.
Quality of riddlesVaried, tactile, and cleanly implemented with strong logic and signposting. The mix of linear and open sections keeps everyone busy, and the tech works smoothly. Optional side tasks give faster teams more to chew on without blocking progress.
PlotYou sneak into a shuttered potash mine as investigative journalists to uncover what a research company was really doing down there. Core objectives drive the story forward, with optional tasks adding extra layers without spoilers.
Difficulty levelBalanced and welcoming to mixed-experience groups; a duo can finish with good communication, while enthusiasts can chase optional tasks. Excellent signposting reduces frustration, but expect to think and coordinate.
