📖 THE STORY

The year is 2036 and you have had another vague dream of a time in a hospital on a remote island long ago. They keep reoccurring but always stop on a door labelled #057 that never opens. You want to remember if this is real, but the virus stripped you of your memories that you have been struggling hard to gain back. With your recruited team, your vague recollections have led you back to this same hospital to uncover the truth. Can you reclaim your lost memories and discover what happened within these eerie halls?

*Note: This is a standalone sequel of a previous game by TRAPPED, "Contaminated Hospital".

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

• Room 057 combines clever use of objects and well-made technical components to guide players through the discovery.

• A truly unexpected surprise is carefully crafted into the game that thrilled my team and made us stop to appreciate it.

• Set design was solid and the use of coloured lights helped build atmosphere.

• There is a good variety of puzzles that provide excellent “aha” moments as they physically open boxes or reveal secrets. Each players had something that could play to their strength and could have their moment to shine in the room.
  

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

• There was one puzzle that were a little long and tedious for a 60-minute escape room. Time became a key thing as there is a lot to do in the hour.

• There is component that is used by several puzzles that wasn’t made clear in the beginning.

• More of a heads up than anything else but there is a safe in the room that will lock you out for 2 minutes at a time if you input the incorrect code twice.
  

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

"Room 057" provides some really unique and interesting twists that kept my team engaged and determined to follow solve this mystery and I admit I didn’t expect the ending! This is a challenging game that would benefit more experienced players as it requires more layered puzzling to piece together clues and solutions. I recommend this type of game for groups looking for a break from the tradition locks and who enjoy a little eeriness to their games. Each time we solved a puzzle was a true experience as things unfolded and opened before our eyes. The surprise at the end was a perfect way to end this experience.
