Apocalypse
Introduction: You and a few remaining survivors awake in an apocalyptic world. A world that strongly resembles the one you once called home, but for reasons unknown this new world has undergone tremendous amounts of damage. You start to gather supplies for survival and quickly realize that food is scarce and most of the water is contaminated. After a few hours you notice a nearby power plant that appears to show signs of activity. You and the other survivors start heading towards the plant in hopes of finding an explanation of what happened, or even confirmation of what year it is.

Summary
- Recommend 4-5 escape artists
- Good if you enjoy nerdy references
- Techie puzzles
- Some puzzles used technology
This escape room was the first "nerdy" room I experienced as there were so much sci-fi references (ex. Dr. Who). I'm a techie at heart so the puzzles were extra enjoyable for me. My girlfriend's sister, Des, and I were matched with 6 other strangers. It was very difficult to communicate with them. The 1st room felt like an office space, but 2nd room had a laboratory feel, which was nice.
I appreciated the escape room and the puzzles for what it was. I feel that I would've had a better experience if I was with people I knew rather than strangers, but that's the nature of the beast sometimes, when it comes to escape rooms that match your group with strangers.
