I love a good game that doesn’t require much actual reading or english. This room was a lot of pattern recognition and I thoroughly enjoy those kinds of puzzles. Obviously there’s still a gm who will guide you through and say a few things every now and then for context. But this one felt more like a video game than a traditional escape room with locks and riddles and I really appreciated that change since we did just about all the rooms in one day.

Although spaceship themes aren’t my favorite, this one was well-done. Our team of 4 handled all the puzzles very smoothly, but I feel that this game could easily become visually overwhelming. I would rank it 5 out of the 7 games we played .

This was probably my favourite game at CU Adventures. I am not usually a fan of spaceship rooms, but this one was done very well. I like that many of the puzzles did not rely on language, which you would expect in an alien spaceship. The finale was a lot of fun (and challenging for a solo player).

Im not typically a person that gets excited by space ship escapes but this one was a blast! I really enjoyed all the different mechanics in this one - it felt really unique. When they say you need 4 players you really need 4 players. I felt like my partner and I were constantly working on puzzles, never stumped, and we barely scraped out with a win!

I absolutely loved my experience in every single room at this location! All rooms are very intricately designed and the game masters really complete the experience with their theatrical interactions. Highly recommend trying them all!

Whew, we barely made it out of this one. Lots of fun to be had here, with an immersive set. I am not an "Outer Space" game fan in general, but this one is probably my favorite of the ones I have played. Fun story......GREAT HOST....Eric was fantastic. I knew we were cutting it close and the sheer amount of puzzles made me so stressed I had a hard time relaxing and just enjoying the experience. This feels like at 75 minute room. Regardless a fantastic room.

I’m not the biggest fan of space themed rooms. They are just hard to pull off and can be overstimulating with all the lights and electronics. Rise of the Icarus is a masterpiece sci fi themed room. It is so incredibly team oriented. There is a part in this room that is super nostalgic and although I’ve seen it utilized in a room before, this iteration of it had utility and made sense as to why it was there. The animatronic is adorable. The set design is very immersive. We did need a hint at one point but rolled from then on. This is my personal # 3 room of 7 at CU Adventures.

Im a sucker for space/tech rooms and this really hit its mark. Lots of unique gadgets and gizmos as well as an adorable mascot. Plenty of neat features and puzzles to tuck into and solve
