The year is 2321, Earths population has spread out into space. Mega-corporations have built space stations throughout the galaxy. You have not long arrived on-board a Citadel class space station owned by the Federal Defence Union (FDU). The main function of this Citadel is scientific research and development. The night you arrived, the stations Artificial Intelligence (AI) was beginning to malfunction. And now, only one week later, the Citadel's main power has just shutdown, and the backup generator has come online. The doors won't open, communications don't work, and you can hear some unusual noises from other parts of the space station. Can you escape before the backup generator goes offline and you're trapped on-board forever?

Fantastic room. We both loved it and really liked the puzzles which were original and in keeping with the theme. A great mix which were all superbly, subtly signposted and what we absolutely loved was the confirmation message whenever a clue was verbally correctly noted - very clever as saves any issues with padlocks or wasted time repeatedly attempting the wrong code. This game was still a challenge so felt great to compete just in time. Strongly recommend this room and venue with excellent hosts, clueing being only when really stuck, and lovely people

Really good and great fun. Different types of puzzles, some look daunting but make more sense as you piece together the clues. Me and my best friend have completed quite a few rooms and this was one of the best. Highly recommended

Fantastic! A little harder than their other room with plenty to do - a lot of non-linear puzzles so players could crack on with different things and always have something to do. Great hosting and clue system, and a nice mix of locks and more hi tech puzzles. Excellently themed and fantastically designed, loved it!
