📖 THE STORY

There's been a break-in at the Research Station and someone has stolen a nest's worth of dinosaur eggs!! You and your team need to search and recover them before the mother returns and discovers them missing!!

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

  • There's nothing more exciting (and frightening) than to know that there's a mother T-Rex lurking in the jungle nearby. Especially, when your mission is to return her stolen eggs before she finds out! The storyline for "Tyrannosolveus Rex" is more mission objective-based as opposed to a typical escape. It definitely has a Jurassic Park vibe to it.

  • The game master Chris made us feel like we were about to enter into a jungle adventure! Don't believe us? Check out the above YouTube video and hear his entertaining intro yourself.

  • The set design was fun and definitely interactive for kids and adults. It felt like a excavation site where you can examine dinosaur bones in the sand, read about historical rocks and more! Most of the puzzles were created based on the surroundings and what you would typically find in that setting.


🧩 MISSED THE MARK

  • Counting and searching puzzles were used a few times in this room and felt a bit repetitive. It's quite difficult to confirm which number is incorrect when there's a good amount of searching involved with various items. So take a hint if you have to.

  • One of the mechanisms for a maze was a bit difficult to maneuver (The owner was made aware of the issue and plans to fix it). It also required a team member to be in a enclosed space for sometime.

  • This room also requires some "crawling" which at times could be quite tiresome as you'll need to go back and forth and there's no way to bypass it. It might be advantageous to bring kids with you!


🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

When you're greeted by your game master in full on character mode, it always enhances the experience. Setting the tone for any escape room game is always important as it allows the players to prepare themselves for what they're about to walk into. "Tyrannosolveus Rex" starts off with an intro from your game master/ tour guide where you'll be fully debriefed on why you've been brought in. When visiting Surelocked In Escape Games, prepare yourself for a show and not just escape rooms!
