A meteor is hurtling towards our home planet, and we must enable the station’s weapons to deflect it before it is too late but as you work to unlock the systems, you’ll uncover even greater threats lurking in the depths of space. 🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE This room combines the Microsoft Hololens 2 Goggles and a physical environment, which Imaginarium did a fantastic job of blending the virtual and physical together. Most puzzles required a combination of both virtual and physical elements to solve which were seamless in design. The room kept everyone involved, either with large collaborative puzzles, nonlinear challenges where everyone could work on their own or team based tasks that required everyone doing their part. The physical set design was beautifully crafted and full of details with some fun props but added in with the virtual portion, it all tied together to look spectacular. The GM was very thorough at setting up the Hololens goggles for us at the start, walking us through the whole process of wearing them and how to use the technology. 🧩 MISSED THE MARK There was a task that could be difficult to complete for some, that only one person could work on at a time. This could cause some bottle necking in the game. 🏹 TAKE A SHOT? This was the first time experiencing an escape room with a mix of physical and virtual components and it far exceeded my expectations. The immersion was brought to a new level with the virtual characters and hints. The puzzles were creative and made fantastic use of both, the physical and virtual. Even in the physical space, there were still some fun surprises. With four players, the experience felt just right. Any less and it would have increased the difficulty of the room. This game is perfect for anyone who is looking for an immersive adventure, a fun space theme game or just something new to try with the Hololens technology. This experience was definitely out of this world! ℹ️ ADDITIONAL INFO The game uses the Microsoft Hololens 2 Goggles which may cause dizziness, headaches and motion sickness for some.

LOCATION: Bülach, Switzerland Photo above is property of Secret Clue GmbH Photos above are property of ESCAPETHEROOMers 📝    ETR DECODER 🔑 GAME : Haunted Toy Store 📅 DATE PLAYED : March 30, 2025 🎬 GENRE : Spooky 🧠 DIFFICULTY (Based on 3 ppl) : 5/10 👥 TOTAL # OF PLAYERS : 2-5 ppl 🕒 LENGTH OF TIME : 60 Mins. 💰 PRICE : CHF 100-175 ☎️ BOOKING TYPE : Private 🔓 ESCAPED/ COMPLETED? : Yes (32:16) 📖 THE STORY In a charming little village, there was once a beloved, award-winning toy shop. Children adored it, and adults admired the toymaker’s kindness and craftsmanship. But one day, something mysterious happened... Now, the shop stands abandoned, its doors shut tight, and the once joyful laughter has been replaced by an eerie silence. The villagers keep their distance, whispering about what might have happened inside. Do you have the courage to step through the door and uncover the truth hidden within? 🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE One of the standout elements of this escape room is its storytelling . From the moment you step inside, an automated narrative sets the stage, and additional audio tracks throughout the game provide deeper insight into past events. This continuous storytelling adds a layer of immersion that many escape rooms overlook, making it a truly notable feature. The set design is another highlight. While the toy store itself is compact, it’s packed with toy props and thematic furniture that enhance the experience. The second room feels larger and introduces a couple of special effects, including a well-timed jump scare that heightens the tension; though the overall atmosphere leans more toward eerie than outright scary. As for the puzzles , they are well-designed to keep all team members engaged. The first room features a mostly nonlinear flow, encouraging players to search and complete mini-puzzles at their own pace. The second half shifts gears, requiring stronger teamwork and communication skills to progress. The puzzles also tie in well with the storyline, particularly in the latter half when the narrative expands. 🧩 MISSED THE MARK While the room doesn’t suffer from broken mechanics or illogical puzzles, there’s room for enhancement. The two main areas that could elevate the experience even further are: More puzzles : The game could benefit from additional challenges to extend playtime and deepen engagement. Stronger thematic immersion : While the set is well-constructed, the toy store theme doesn’t fully come to life. More vibrant toy store elements could enhance the setting further. Likewise, the spooky aspect isn’t fully utilized beyond dim lighting and one jump scare. More could certainly be done to push the scare factor up. 🏹 TAKE A SHOT? This is a solid, well-crafted escape room that’s best suited for low-to-medium-experience players. The difficulty level is moderate, and the scare factor is minimal, making it ideal for families or those who prefer a more lighthearted experience. Due to the limited space and number of tasks, a team of two to three players is the sweet spot, any more, and it might feel crowded. ℹ️ ADDITIONAL INFO Parking is not available on site. Free parking is available in clearly designated spaces around the side and back of the building. There is a lobby area with comfortable seating, lockers, and a few cold drinks for sale.
