🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

  • The ambience of this room had an eerie yet stern type of vibe which fits the abandoned precinct perfectly.

  • The décor was spot on with graffities, signages and even a classic phone booth!

  • The storyline was nicely incorporated into the escape room. As we solved the puzzles, we were finding out why we're being called in to this abandoned location.

  • Some of the mechanics in the room really tried to tie in with the theme in terms of having us figure out the 5 "W"s.

  • The ending definitely delivered a sense of urgency. We were glad we made it out with in those last seconds!

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

  • We skipped a puzzle at the beginning because we figured out an answer by deduction but then the unused prop confused us. Perhaps there could be an adjustment on the puzzle where it can't be skipped so the prop could be used properly.

  • One clue word in a puzzle was not as commonly used. We had to kind of guess on the answer.

  • A searching aspect towards the end of the game was quite difficult for two people as the room is quite spacious. Perhaps if there were "clues" left for the players to find which could point them to where they could find the messages, that would be a nice multi-step puzzle.

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

If you like being a detective, you'll enjoy this puzzling case. Right when you enter the room, you'll be stumped as there's not much to do at first. But when things start to unravel, your team will definitely to divide and conquer.


Timed Out currently has 4 rooms and we've only played one other which is "Illusion". Their two others are "West" and "Depth". They are all very different in terms of theme and difficulty level. You'll definitely find something that suits your desire. Check out our interview video above to have a sneak peek of the rooms if you can't decide!
