8.2/10 We are loving the story Mind Factory is taking us through with their rooms and Invasion only heightens our anticipation for what's to come. We highly recommend playing Breathless first if you can, as it sets the stage for the story that carries over into Invasion. However, if you're only able to play Invasion, you won't be disappointed. From the outset, Invasion impressed us with its immersive storytelling and expertly crafted puzzles. The room’s flow felt seamless, with each challenge feeling like a natural progression within the story. It was clear that a lot of thought had gone into the puzzle design, and everything just clicked during our experience. For us, Invasion ended up being the superior room compared to Breathless, though we thoroughly enjoyed both. One standout feature is a particularly well-designed prop in the room, which plays a significant role in the overarching narrative. The level of detail on this prop is remarkable, and it definitely added a layer of immersion to the experience. However, as much as we loved it, we felt it could have been more integrated throughout the room, rather than just sitting in the background. Given its importance to the story, we’d have liked to see it play a more active role. Overall, Invasion at Mind Factory is a fantastic adventure for any escape room enthusiast. We’re excited to see what the team has in store for their upcoming rooms, especially after speaking with Dave, the owner. His passion for escape rooms is infectious, and it’s clear that they’re dedicated to taking their experiences to the next level. We highly recommend checking out Invasion, and don’t forget to play Breathless if you can. We can’t wait for their third room!
