Nova - Mission to Mars

Theming was excellent. Not a polished look, but good enough to give the feel of the actual location. It nicely straddles that spot between too homemade and too highbrow. Although each puzzle wasn’t necessarily difficult, there was a lot to do and the puzzles are mostly visible from the start, although not solvable. Most puzzles fit the unfolding story, but some things seemed to get a bit lost partway through. Overall a good variety of puzzles. Some equipment issues, one of which required the GM to enter the room to check an item that had reportedly been broken by the previous group & hastily fixed between groups.

Great room, interesting and unique puzzles, definite sense of urgency. Great atmosphere and great people running this joint too. Loved it!

This escape room was an incredible experience for a remote location. So much fun and challenging. 👍

Lordy what a massive room. So much content to get through you truly need a larger group and I rarely recommend this. I could get around the multi-linearity to a point but it was a bit excessive for my liking with almost every puzzle available from the beginning. This led to us spending a good chunk of time just wandering around looking for the needle-like answer amongst the haystack of puzzle items. A well designed set with a fun storyline, Nova is an exciting, tricky room. Our Game Master Seth crushed it again, truly making our experience.

What an absolute mammoth of a room in terms of puzzle content! There’s not many rooms I’d actively recommend playing with a minimum of 4 players but this is definitely one of them. Nova plays with quite an open space and a multi-linear format that can cause even the more seasoned players to become a bit overwhelmed. The awesome variety of puzzles and engaging tasks to complete around the ship were very well thought out and supported the theme really nicely but with a crazy amount of props, signage and content it can get a bit muddled in the process. A difficult yet rewarding one overall! Our GM Seth was fantastic, although I’m pretty sure he was ready to let us die in up there in space. 🥲🚀
