Undercooked

Just like the game. In all the best ways

Really unique gameplay and tons of puzzles, which we thought would’ve been especially great for a bigger group interested in lots of parallelization.

This was a truly amazing game. We had so much fun working independently at times and together at times. Highly recommend doing this nontraditional room.

Great room. It’s score based, not time based. Falling is still possible but you’re generally not expected to 100% the room on your first try. I suggest 5-6 people, 4 felt a little thin. Really captures the feel of Overcooked. More than most rooms it is a huge test of information management as the room is designed to be solved synchronously. The specific puzzles and room fun, but wouldn’t result in a “love” rating. The best part of the room is the novelty and chaotic feel.

This is one of my favorite rooms I’ve ever played! I love playing the Overcooked video game as well, so I was already excited for this idea for an escape room—and Undercooked did not disappoint! It brings the frenetic pace of the game into an escape room by giving you puzzles upon puzzles to solve in pretty much any order. This is one of the few rooms where I would recommend playing with 4 or more people. There is plenty to do and honestly you will not be able to complete it all with just 2 people, (which is how I normally like to play). Why I loved it: - Puzzles, puzzles, puzzles! So many puzzles all over the place that it’s hard to even decide where to start. I enjoyed the mechanism for entering your solutions to the puzzles too. - The theming is spot on for matching the video game. I loved that it’s not just the typical horror/creepy type of theme that the majority of escape rooms are. I always prefer a fun theme that isn’t depressing. This made for a great experience where you can just go have FUN solving puzzles! - Getting a high score in this room is genuinely a challenge. I have no critiques—this room was absolutely awesome!

Such a fun room. A lot to do…but it’s less of an “escape the room” and more of a “do as much as you can room”. Highly recommend. Think 4 people would be the perfect amount, but you can get away with fewer.

A ton of fun! Plenty to do for a team of 4.

Super fun, puzzles were well thought out and fun to complete! Not exactly an escape room but still scratched the itch.

This is a room that seems clearly inspired by the video game. The game is a large kitchen with numerous different, non-linear elements. The kitchen and all the elements are beautifully done and it’s a lot of fun overall. We did it with a team of 3 pretty experienced players and we had a hard time. I think 4-5 people is ideal. This is not a typical game in that you are trying to escape. Instead you just solve as many recipes as you can. That makes it difficult to evaluate how well you did in the end. The plus is that you can actually play this game again if you don’t solve all the puzzles. We didn’t and may try again in the future.
