This room was probably my least favorite at Timed Out but it was still a decent room. The puzzles are quite non-linear and it’s not always clear what to work on next but the individual puzzles are still well done. I can’t say that I fully grasped the storyline and conclusion of the room but I did enjoy it for the most part!
Gameplay
This game was very non-linear and it wasn’t always clear what you were supposed to be working on. While I did enjoy the individual puzzles, the flow between puzzles was not the strongest.
Atmosphere
The atmosphere was not bad by any means but it did feel relatively obvious that this is one of the older games at this location.
Customer service
All of the workers at this location were very kind!
Particularly interesting or different
No
I’ve done alien themed rooms before and I do think that this one had a different plot but I didn’t fully understand the conclusion.
Story
What I think was supposed to be a twist at the end of the game didn’t really read. I’m not sure that I fully understood this storyline.
Difficulty
Medium
The individual puzzles were not very hard but sometimes it was difficult to figure out what elements were supposed to go together.
Game tech
High tech
I don’t remember many physical locks in this room, it was mostly keypads and such.
Ideal number of players
4
Four was a really good number of people before we were able to divide into two teams of two and get through the puzzles more efficiently.

Payton - Thank you for your review of our Area 51 room. I am sorry to hear the story did come out in the room for you and the puzzles didn't fit for you. We are in the process of making some changes to this room with decor and puzzles. We appreciate when customers provide feedback as we are always trying to improve our experiences. Tina

The interactivity between players in this room was so fun! There was a clear logic of what goes to what in this room and I really liked that. There is also a really cute prop I can’t stop thinking about! The humor was spot on also.

Kristie - Our crazy little Aliens...you never know what is going to happen in that room. The music and humor hit a mark with the story line. Thank you for your 'heart" for this room.

The room itself wasn't bad, the staff was just so rude I didn't even want to be there anymore.

It was fun. I don’t think the room was bad. I think compared to their other rooms I wasn’t as blown away by this one unfortunately. Didn’t fully understand the story and maybe felt like it needs something else in there. I’m not sure. Still fun regardless and worth playing!
