UFO: Go For LaunchThe Bureau Adventure GamesEscape roomIRLThe Bureau has so far been my group's favorite place for escape rooms. The combination of atmosphere, set design, customer service, and the staff themselves has caused us to fall in love with The Bureau. We recently did theAftwr Dark service they provide which includes 4 rooms back to back with free coffee and half off on all drinks. My group did Possession at Haddon Heights, Lab At Lochness, UFO: Go for Launch, and Dr. Braingood. UFO: Go for Launch was definitely an interesting escape room. My group loved the concept and the set design, however, some elements in the room were a bit odd to work with and did take you out of the immersion. Despite that, there were some elements that were amazing including a “Livestream” where you can interact with some puzzles and the last puzzle was very fun to see including the final effect. For this room, I would recommend a group of four due to the size and types of puzzles but my group of six worked well.

My group did Possession at Haddon Heights, Lab At Lochness, UFO: Go for Launch, and Dr. Braingood. Possession at Haddon Heights is one of my favorite rooms that they offer at the Bureau. The use of sound and lighting created a creepy atmosphere and kept everyone on their toes for what would come next. They provided devices that would play noises that elevated the immersion even more; unfortunately, they only have four but even without those devices the room was still creepy. The puzzles were very well made and the story was put together incredibly well. It took a mix of technology, reading for information, and looking for clues that blended very well into a spooky yet very fun room. The group size works very well for 6 people but may be a bit cramped with more. Only one small jumpscare that only scares the skittish.

My group did Possession at Haddon Heights, Lab At Lochness, UFO: Go for Launch, and Dr. Braingood. Dr. Braingood was my second favorite that we did that night due to the setup of the room and the creative puzzles they included. No locks or keys just pure puzzles. This room was straightforward and not too complicated and the use of technology worked incredibly well for the setting. I would recommend this room for a group size of 6 due to the amount of space and the types of puzzles used in the room.

We recently did theAftwr Dark service they provide which includes 4 rooms back to back with free coffee and half off on all drinks. My group did Possession at Haddon Heights, Lab At Lochness, UFO: Go for Launch, and Dr. Braingood. Lab at Lochness was my least favorite room they provide at the Bureau, but that isn't to say it was good it just goes to show that their other rooms were that great. This room starts off with a separate group so you have to communicate with each other and this was a fun aspect until the lack of puzzle in the first area caused some to stand there waiting for both teams to solve the last puzzle. Once that hurdle is crossed you enter the final room where the puzzles are a bit lacking as well but the set design is still wonderful. This was the only room we had technical issues with but was quickly fixed and we were given a free drink as compensation. The customer service and overall kindness of the staff are what make these experiences at the Bureau one to always remember.
