📖 THE STORY

A toxic gas leak has triggered a full lockdown inside a medical complex hidden within an old military bunker. Following emergency protocol, the facility has been sealed and all systems shut down—plunging everything into darkness.

However, a critical mistake has been made: the only antidote capable of neutralising the gas remains trapped inside. With oxygen running out, your team must navigate the quarantined facility, locate the antidote, and escape before the air becomes unbreathable.

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

• Much like Strategy, the biggest highlight is the authentic bunker setting. The real military infrastructure adds a raw and convincing atmosphere that perfectly suits the quarantine scenario. The rooms are surprisingly open and expansive, which allows for comfortable movement and makes the experience feel less restrictive and more exploratory.

• The use of limited lighting works very well with the theme, reinforcing the idea of a sealed and powerless facility. It adds a subtle layer of pressure without turning the room into a horror experience.

• The gameplay leans heavily into classic puzzle-solving, with a strong mix of codes, logic, and observation-based challenges. This makes it approachable and enjoyable, especially for teams who prefer traditional escape room mechanics.

• The objective is clear and easy to follow—find the antidote and escape—which keeps the experience focused and easy to engage with from the start.

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

• The room is more puzzle-driven than story-driven, with limited narrative development throughout the experience.

• The environment, while authentic, is relatively minimalistic, which may not appeal to players expecting highly theatrical set design.

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

"Quarantine" is a solid, back-to-basics escape room that benefits greatly from its unique real-world setting. It’s particularly well suited for players who enjoy traditional puzzles and a slightly tense, atmospheric environment without stepping into full horror. While it may not push boundaries in terms of innovation or storytelling, it delivers a consistent and enjoyable experience—especially for smaller teams looking for a focused challenge.

ℹ️ ADDITIONAL INFO

• Free parking is available in a public car park in front of the venue.

• There is a small lobby area where you have your briefing and debriefing.
