Lab Rat takes place in a laboratory where giant rats are doing odd experiments on human beings, specifically you! The somewhat unhinged Ratkenstein, a doctoral student in the field of human intelligence (or, in his estimation, the lack thereof), has tasked you with completing a series of tests and puzzles. If you succeed, he can finally write his dissertation. If you fail, he’s going to put you and your friends in the old test-subject chipper (like a wood chipper, but for test subjects!). You’ll have one hour to complete the tests and attempt to get out of the laboratory for good, before Ratkenstein turns you into mulch!

my 100th room and in my top 3 now. there’s a reason this game is so highly rated. it has a whimsy to it that i honestly still feel when writing out this review. the puzzles were fresh and the moments given to you in here won’t be easily recreated.

This room was hilarious & fun! A great take on the lab experiments except this time, we're the rats! There was so much to explore in this room and the music, lighting, and the special effects really put this all together. The story was funny and even when I thought I knew where this game was headed, I was proved wrong. This is a fun room to do for all ages.

I loved this room! The set design was fantastic. The puzzle design was novel. I saw puzzles here I’ve never seen before or since. It was really fun trying to puzzle our way through! I will say I went with two people that aren’t really into escape rooms and they had a great time but between us we could not make it out. There was just so much to do and I couldn’t always rely on them to be as helpful as I needed! If you like challenging puzzles, this is def a great one but make sure you bring a few extra friends!

Such a fun, well-designed room. Has a unique story and an immersive way of presenting it. The puzzles were quirky with an edge of difficulty to it but stuck to the theme and kept you feeling like you were actually a mouse stuck in a cage. Truly an experience.

This was my room #200, and I couldn’t be happier with the choice! If you like fun, you should play this game! (This could have been the whole review, but let’s write a little more) From you enter, till you leave, Lab Rat is whimsical, funny and challenging! The puzzles are amazing, the set is amazing, and the theme is amazing! The theme also works perfectly as an excuse for why you’re doing the puzzles, and it makes it so that all puzzles will fit into the room. This was one of those escape rooms that just screams fun, and I am so happy that we got to experience it!

Okay, so... we loved this room... even though a lot of things weren't working at the time. Projectors weren't working, so we didn't get to see the video at the beginning. And there was a ball stuck in one of the puzzles, so our host had to click us through. But all in all, it was a challenging, interesting room. There were a lot of really innovative puzzles, and incredible set design. I highly recommend this room to everyone--it's good for all ages.

This. This right here. This is exactly what I want in an escape room! Lab Rat is like what would happen if you transformed the pre-ride lines at Disneyland into an escape room. The set is massive, literally in every way. Giant size props and large maze like hallways filled with punny jokes. The room is more interested in entertaining you and making you laugh. I was certainly smiling and wowed throughout! Even the cutscenes before and during the room are humorous sequences that resemble the Honey, I Shrunk the Audience attraction. There are a few strange puzzles and awkward uses of space. But the room definitely has its own personality, and has you do tasks because they’re fun, not because it wants to stump you. The final puzzle was a rush though! There are even credits at the end to honor the minds that went into this contraption, which further illustrates how this room is one grand cinematic adventure! All escape room fans should experience this rat race at least once, and prove that you’re not a idiot!
