From the start it was great - beginning with us not being absolutely sure if the game had already started when stepping through the front door. There are puzzles in the room that left us laughing out loud and not sure if they were serious at the same time. Definitely different from everything we had experienced before. Do it if you have the chance. It’s a lot of fun! We’ll be back for the other 2 rooms first thing if/when are in Milan again.

Never have I screamed for joy so often in a room! This was absolutely amazing! Play it if you possibly can! (Especially good as a two-player game with your S.O.)

It’s obvious why this is one of the top-rated in the world. it’s so immersive, from the minute you walk in the door. very clever puzzle design, with some ideas we had never seen before (we’ve done 20+ rooms). there were a few parts that were very physical and were a little difficult with my chronic illness. so know that going in. it was very, very funny! clever story telling and fun atmosphere. when we had to throw the [classified] at the [classified], we were laughing so hard we almost couldn’t do it! gameplay 5/5 atmosphere/storyline 5/5 handicapped accessibility 3/5 overall: 4.75 repressed memories out of 5 (lol) brilliant. highly recommend.

there’s some babymaking noises and shenanigans that are very funny but might be a little much for younger children.

not much overall. did require a tasting portion, which was fun and new to us!

Accessibility

lighting a little dim, and one aspect requires sharp hearing. it also requires some physical things like standing on a platform, throwing at a target, and using an exercise machine

I can see why it got all the accolades. Funny, unique, intense, with incredible immersion straight from the start. So many of the puzzles were cleverly devised and presented. The use of all senses are required! But the design of the room was truly where the game shone. It had the most incredible sets I have had the pleasure to solve puzzles in.

No idea if we actually did this in the time allotted, honestly we were so buzzing from the experience I'm not sure if we went over or not! We were absolutely terrible at this game (not the games fault, we are just bad at escape rooms) but regardless, it's now my favourite game that I've played so far. Gorgeous, funny, breathtaking, surprising, clever, perfect. I won't spoil anything. Just play it. It's amazing.

Birth Machine really lived up to the crazy expectations I had from hearing about the game. I was asking myself "Wait, we're really doing THAT?" multiple times in the best way possible.

Gameplay

Parts of the game were hilariously fitting the theme in the most unexpected ways. Some of the puzzles felt a bit frustrating, as it was clear what to do but hard to determine the solution due to ambiguity.

Atmosphere

A grand set that takes you to some very unexpected places, that are still instantly recognisable. Sadly it looked a bit rough around the edges from wear in some places.

Another crazy experience from Mad Machines. A very unexpected and hilarious twist. Plenty of puzzles to work on and even the physical aspects were manageable. So great to meet the owner/creator after. A must play when in Milan.

Yes - do this room if you can. We did it the day we landed into Italy and were afraid jet lag would get us so only did the one room. Really glad we did.

Gameplay

Got stuck on a one puzzle at the beginning and the loved the rest.

Atmosphere

Fun to have a theme never seen before

Customer service

Great team- from our emails to set it up (including suggestions where to eat after) to the game play staff.

Such a fun room from start to finish - big fan of how you’re in the Mad Machines experience from the second you walk through the door. Good mix of puzzles, some very unique, some very silly. Incredible theming, really enjoyable execution - not an experience we will forget anytime soon!
