What a splendid room! A great follow up to their flagship with some more compact wow moments.

You’ve been summoned—alone, in secret. Mr. Matthews, the eccentric leader of the Keepers of Balance, has one obsession: The Galaxy Core. It’s no longer safe, and only you can retrieve it. Armed with strange gear and an aging submarine, you plunge into the depths of a hidden ocean realm to retrieve a lost artifact. And when you return, ask yourself: What did you really bring back with you? The Galaxy Core awaits. But so does the cost.

After doing this company’s other escape room, this one felt a little deflated. There was one unique puzzle that I haven’t seen anywhere else that I really loved though! 🐈⬛ one of the puzzles had a glitch in it so that slowed us down a little bit.

There are parts of this experience that will live in my memory forever, and that is largely due to the exceptional staff. A worthy companion to Quest for the Temple of Light.

The set was amazing and there were definitely parts that were unlike any room I’ve ever done. Have comfortable clothes on and gym shoes.
Gameplay
There were a few things where we were looking around like did anything happen? Which kind of takes from the immersion.
Atmosphere
The sets here are unmatched
Customer service
Love the workers. They are all great actors too!

I wish there was a hint to what was different. Just so I knew it was something I’m allowed to do.

By far the best escape room I’ve ever done. My rooms on Morty are only a small percentage of what I’ve actually done because I simply can’t remember everything.

The submarine was amazing, felt like a Disney ride! Atlantis was gorgeous and ethereal. More physically challenging than Temple of Light. Would recommend playing this room first to better appreciate it's beauty before experiencing the over the top extra-ness of Temple.

Very very high quality set design and immersion. These guys clearly prioritized customer experience and it shows. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, and the story and puzzle path were cohesive.

The only reason this is my second favorite escape room to date is because I also played their other room (Temple of Light). Just incredible! Do this first and then Temple if you like escape rooms at all.
