I love how maze rooms add themeing to the doors you go through when you initially enter the room. I was amazed at how big this room was, but I still don’t recommend large groups. The set design brought the alien facility to life. The puzzles made it fun to interact with the space. This is probably my favorite alien room! Btw we would like to thank our host Andrew for this unforgettable night! Topping the leader board made this a core memory!
Mostly non-linear which my group usually excels on
Really felt like an alien facility. Big space!
Andrew was a great host. He hosted our 2 rooms and was able to squeeze in a 3rd

You really have to pay attention the details. This game can be very frustrating but the aha moments make it worth the extra work.
Our GM Andrew was amazing. He made sure no matter how busy he was we were given attention and he made us feel valued.

Finished the room did it in 45 min we went as a group of three. I liked the Easter eggs, and the puzzles were not to bad. Some things weren't working when we did them so it didn't really affect our game that much. We did need some nudging to get going on some puzzles. But overall we enjoyed it. And our game master Alida was pretty cooool

It was alright. There was nothing exciting about this room at all, no sense of achievement or anything. There’s only 2 rooms and maybe a half room if you count it at all. It’s very anticlimactic. The other rooms in this location are much more worth it. Also Andrew is an amazing GM!
We love Andrew!

This game had the potential to be very good. But the storyline was missing and the puzzles were technologically cool, but confusing. There wasn’t always a good reason why I was doing something other than to “solve an abstract puzzle”. Also, there was one puzzle, maybe the coolest one, that was malfunctioning earlier in the day, so they just provided us with a laminated sheet of answers for that puzzle… bummer
Did not flow well, needs a better story to tie everything together. The things you are doing individually were great, but none of them flowed together or made logical sense.
Between thumbs down and thumbs up. Our game master spoke very quickly, but was nice

Kinda… the tech was cool and some I had never seen before, but confusing as to what you are doing at times.
There really isn’t one. The props and decor was awesome and had a ton of great tech. But there’s not always an obvious reason for why you are doing things

6/10 The strongest room at this location. Great set design, some creative puzzles, but an unfortunately forgettable ending that makes you go “Oh, that’s the end?” Would not recommend more than 4 people for this experience.

Started Area 51 thinking it was going to be easy just to be impressed with all the different puzzles this room had in store. It was challenging in the best way possible, throwing unique and new puzzles at my team. I appreciated the unique puzzles and authentic ideas as well as the light up design and atmosphere of the room and all the super awesome props and decorations
The gameplay was very fun
The atmosphere was so high tech- feels like your transported into a different world
Very kind and awesome game masters

Atmospheric, well-designed in terms of setting and theme. Some puzzles were a bit janky and time-consuming that the players can't quicken themselves

The biggest downside here was one of the puzzles just didn’t work after we solved it, and at the time everything had gone smoothly up til then. The overall experience was great, with fun puzzles and enthralling set. One puzzle utilized a camera in a new way I’d never seen and the ending was memorable.

Really unfortunate experience. We had played the Avalanche room at this location previously and it has been a standout even after completing 50+ rooms. We decided to try the Area 51 room as a group of 4 and ran into technical issues at basically every puzzle. At least half of the puzzles weren’t working correctly and had to be overridden by the game master and we found out at the end that two didn’t work at all and were fully skipped. This was by far the worst experience we’ve had in a room. After we completed Area 51 we walked through the room with an employee and pointed out the issues that we ran into in hopes of helping them make improvements for future guests, but were met with a disappointing response. The moment we got to the lobby the game master went back into a private room and shut the door. We weren’t seen out and there was no attempt at an apology made at all. I suggest that fellow escape room enthusiasts skip this room until they completely rework or fix this room.
