The Galactic War: The Invasion Of The Xarnai

10/10 ⭐️: DOWN TO THE WIRE WITH TWO SECONDS TO SPARE!! Galactic Wars at Encrypted Escape was an ABSOLUTE BLAST!! Now, I’ll be the first to admit that this is NOT a theme we would normally choose. We’re typically drawn to horror, creepy atmospheres, and darker storylines, so a space-themed alien war room was definitely outside our usual wheelhouse. But after enjoying The Last Vampire so much, we decided to step outside our comfort zone and give Galactic Wars a shot. And BOY, ARE WE GLAD WE DID!! First, the set design was a solid 10/10. From beginning to end, everything was beautifully themed and fully immersed us in this futuristic alien-war environment. The production was impressive, the technology worked seamlessly, and the storyline remained cohesive throughout the entire experience. The puzzles were FANTASTIC and felt like they genuinely belonged in the world of the game. In particular, the first three puzzles were incredibly immersive and immediately pulled us into the mission. We loved how the puzzles were integrated into the storyline instead of feeling like separate challenges that just happened to be in a space-themed room. The game follows a linear progression, which we really enjoyed. And while this isn’t one of the largest escape rooms we’ve experienced, don’t let the size fool you. THIS ROOM IS PACKED WITH PUZZLES!! There was an excellent range of difficulty, from relatively straightforward challenges to puzzles that really made us stop, regroup, and THINK. We ended up using three clues throughout the game, and then came the ending… WE ESCAPED WITH LITERALLY TWO SECONDS LEFT ON THE CLOCK!! The adrenaline, the urgency, the frantic teamwork, and that final moment when we realized we’d actually made it out with practically no time remaining… THAT IS WHAT ESCAPE ROOMS ARE ALL ABOUT!! Those are the moments that make you walk out laughing, celebrating, and replaying the final seconds in your head. And honestly, the entire experience was just fun. The puzzles were creative, the storyline made sense, the room flowed beautifully, and the technology and set design brought everything together. We can absolutely understand why Galactic Wars has received awards. Galactic Wars is absolutely worth playing. 10/10 — HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

This was fun and challenging! We need a bit of guidance (we were rusty) but enjoyed what every puzzle had to offer! Can't wait to come back and do the other rooms!

Galactic War was an incredible adventure! The futuristic theme, clever puzzles, and immersive experience kept us on our toes the whole time. Perfect for anyone who loves teamwork and a thrilling challenge!

Well put together and some tricky puzzles

This was a good room! Somewhat unique puzzles and set was awesome- really felt like you were in a spaceship. Space themed rooms are not really my vibe and had some frustrating / confusing moments in the room, but mainly that’s my personal opinion/experience. Would still recommend visiting!

Very fun! We got second place with 23:55 remaining. It wasn’t too easy and it wasn’t too hard. It flowed well through each puzzle.

Finished with a lot of time left! Catch us on the leaderboard as number 1!!!

This was a really good room. It is very linear, but was really fun! I didn't feel like there was a lot of standing around like there were in other rooms that are strictly linear. Overall, it was a fun experience, challenging enough for experienced players to enjoy.

Well themed and incredibly high tech. This room does basically everything right. I would suggest a smaller group of 2-3 as the puzzling, while very clever, is linear and you could end up on top of one another
