From the opening with the Mad Doctors assistant through the end, this game was just a lot of fun. Thankfully we fixed the Time Machine in time to return to present day. A must play when in Milan.

Silly fun with a great intro (ARTURO ❤️). The puzzles are not particularly complex or ingenious here but some are hilarious, and it's all so random that it wasn't always obvious what to do next. But immersiveness may not be the point in a room like this. Definitely recommend! I liked this slightly more than Birth Machine.

I'd say no, but there's a GM in character at the beginning.

Escape Room semplicemente fantastica! Ho fatto la stanza Time Machine con una bambina di 8 anni e una ragazza di 13 ed è stata perfetta! E siamo anche riuscite a completarla in tempo! L’ambientazione è spettacolare, tutto curato nei minimi dettagli e la logica del gioco è assolutamente intuitiva! Ti fa proprio vivere l’esperienza passo a passo con la storia in modo divertente ed intrigante. Consiglio assolutamente questa Escape Room a tutti! Decisamente da provare una volta nella vita sia per soli adulti che… anche con bambini! Molto divertente!

Birth Machine often gets talked about more due to its unique theming, but gosh, Time Machine is 100% up to the same level, with top-notch humor, a truly unique take on a common theme, and satisfying story-driven puzzles. Very highly recommend!!

We played Time Machine last night and had a blast. If you get to Milan be sure to check this one out! Awesome set design, great immersion, interesting puzzles and a frw quirky physical tasks (iykyk). SO FUN!

Great game master who gave us a nudge if we needed it.

Completely different theme to Mad Machines’ other room but just as enjoyable in its own way! Thoroughly recommended for its detailed set design, variety of puzzles and humour involved

This is a well executed and creative Time Machine themed escape room. It has a little bit of everything, and we were able to get through it with minimal assistance in a couple minutes under the time cap which is ideal. The set is very cool, and I enjoyed the puzzles. I will say, Mad Machines puzzles are a little more on the “tasks” side rather than brain-teasing puzzles, which isn’t necessarily bad, but it doesn’t always scratch that puzzle itch that brings me back to escape rooms time and again. However, I thought this room struck the balance a little better than Birth Machine, and so this gets a higher rating from me.

While Birth Machine is a innovative and singular take on an escape room, Time Machine presents a perfect execution of a more standard theme, with plenty of twists that make it stand out. The gameplay is much more diegetic compared to Birth Machine, which used the set-up for some rather abstract yet thematic interactions. The game demands teamwork, dexterity, and attention to detail, but not in an overwhelming or overtly difficult way. The set makes use of some unique theming and impressive transitions to create a solid subversion of the common time travel themes. While one interaction could have benefited from some clarity to avoid damage to the set, every interaction was interesting, fun, and fit perfectly in the strange world that Mad Machines created.
Very unique gameplay that was integrated seamlessly into the set.
Executes a hard-to-create atmosphere flawlessly.
