The transmission that arrives at Mind Factory is scrambled. Mind Factory agents decode it. They hear two words. Help us. The rest of the transmission is static, yelling, and a series of bizarre sounds. Something has happened in a remote section of Colorado, inside a high security biohazard lab. There are hundreds of labs across the United States that handle dangerous biological materials. Each lab is assigned a safety level: BSL-1, BSL-2, BSL-3, or BSL-4. No lab with a biosafety level higher than a 4 has ever existed, according to official documentation. According to official documentation, there is no such thing as biosafety level 5. The unscrambled transmission that arrives at Mind Factory carries a tag with it: Unknown Entity. BSL-5. You, as a Mind Factory agent, must infiltrate the lab, figure out what happened inside, and isolate any threat to the outside world. But act fast. Time is running out.

Very well done room. Good mix of puzzles and original ideas. Perfect level of challenging. Can do it with 2 people.

My group and I had a great time with Breathless. The mechanics were engaging and the story was very good. We did Invasion first, which was a better room, so Breathless felt a bit anticlimactic by comparison. The door mechanic was cool but I wish it felt just a bit more punishing. I like the idea of using your remaining time as a resource, but we were able to game it very easily. The room is not terribly difficult, but the puzzles are great and don’t require any unnatural leaps in logic. The dramatic tension and theming in Invasion is more to my preference, but both are very well-designed experiences that are sure to leave you satisfied. Thank you Dave for the great experience! We’re looking forward to the next room!

Thanks so much for taking the time to write a couple reviews. And we hear you about Breathless feeling a bit anticlimactic compared to Invasion. Thanks to your feedback, and the feedback of other customers, we’re addressing this (and one or two other things) and releasing an Enthusiasts’ version of Breathless. It’s going to be sick! Pleasure chatting with you, and so glad you had fun.

Absolutely wonderful time! We booked last minute on a whim and drove about an hour and a half to come visit and am so glad we did. We had David (owner and game designer) as our GM and he was wonderful and you could tell he truly cares about the game. The room was fun with some cool tech and interesting props that made it fun to play. Overall a very good game for both beginners and experts alike
Had some really cool set design and fun elements that felt very immersive
Our GM (David) who is also the owner and game designer was fantastic. Did a great job at not over hinting but not letting us spiral. Knew exactly what kind of experience we wanted being well versed in escape rooms.
Yes
Had some tech elements like the door system that I have never seen before and really enjoyed interacting with.
Hard
One of those games where it is hard for both experts and beginners as those who are well versed in escape rooms often overlook the simple clues but do well on the hardest stuff and vice versa for beginners

Doable with an experienced 2 people who work well together but numbers could definitely be beneficial

Moving back and forth between rooms but no crawling or things like that
Would be a great room for someone with mobility issues and could easily be accessible especially when playing as a group with someone who is able to stand to reach higher things

Great experience and a great storyline, I highly recommend this innovative and challenging escape room.
This was second escape room I ever did and it was solid challenge. It took my team and I time to figure out the puzzles but it was attainable. The storyline was great.

What a great game! Puzzles were unique and interesting, and they wove the story in seamlessly in a way that not a lot of escape rooms do. Highly recommend!

7.4/10 We really enjoyed our time with Breathless and are excited to see where the story takes us with Mind Factory’s future rooms. The environment and props do a great job of immersing you in this abandoned science lab. We loved how the story was attached into the puzzles. Each one seemed to push the narrative forward, making us feel more engaged with the plot rather than just completing random challenges. This game was ideal for a mid size group because of how well the tasks were distributed. The ending was a bit underwhelming, and we wish it had a bit more of a “wow” factor to it. We have not played their second room, Invasion, as of writing this, but after playing Breathless, we can’t wait to come back to try it out.
Yes
There was one concept that we never experienced something like before

Thanks, you two, for coming, playing, and chatting. We thought a lot about what you wrote and, along with feedback from other players, are working on an edit for Breathless that amps up the drama, and the finale. This is why we need you, the enthusiasts. Thank you for your ongoing commitment to the immersive gaming industry.

We were in town on a Tuesday - a day when Mind Factory wasn't usually open, but saw a note on the website encouraged us to email about the possibility of them opening for us. Dave, the owner, emailed back immediately and said he'd be happy to open just for us. When we arrived he was the perfect host - we couldn't have hoped for a better experience. Breathless was a great room - Pt.1 of a 2 part (so far) story. There were a good variety of different types of puzzles and one element of the room was extremely unique - I've never seen it in any other escape room. Great room & great host!

Always happy to open up on a Tuesday for escape room enthusiasts. Appreciate your business, Orlok. And the time you took to leave a review. So glad you had fun.

Very cool, high quality escape room. The puzzles are unique and the story is too. This is part 1 escape room at mind factory, with invasion being the 2nd part. You don’t have to do it in order but we did and it was super fun! highly recommend

A very solid room, the story was top notch. The puzzling was excellent as well, many of them were very unique and made sense with the story. The set was relatively simple but fit well with the theme. Highly reccomended to anyone in the area.
