BioNova Breakout

Fastest 90 mins ever. The atmosphere of the room is awesome and the puzzles were very enjoyable. There was one puzzle early on that wasn’t so obvious it was wrong so it ate up a huge amount of our time. Soon after that, there was another puzzle that we completed but there was a short delay in the unlocking mechanism to trigger. This would’ve gave us more time to figure out the later puzzles but oh well, still a great room! Lastly, I definitely recommend doing this room in groups of at least 3.

This game is challenging and has a nice, but noisy, set. The game is linear, and there is not much to interact with or explore when you have nothing to do. We had a major tech failure that our GM did not notice. After pressing the hint button multiple times, we had to step out of the room to tell them it was not working. We did not find the solves satisfying and left the game feeling a little bleh, but maybe this was just our group not jiving with this game :/

Overall a pretty good 90min room! We completed it with 2 people (with a little fudging on the 90min completion time :). For 2 people, a couple of the puzzles were a little frustrating because you could start them but not complete them till the other person finished their puzzle (without being really clear you couldn’t finish, so one person was kinda wasting their time), but overall pretty good. There’s one physical activity we found frustrating but it might have been that we were hangry :)
