Gathered intelligence indicates that illegal, invasive genetic experimentation on live test subjects are being conducted at Dr. Irov’s laboratory. As members of the Joint Task Force of Investigations, you have been tasked to gather and retrieve information from the laboratory in order to gain a full understanding of the situation. However, after an unexpected turn of events, what started off as a small scale infiltration mission quickly blows out of proportion.

Interesting and engaging atmosphere and puzzles. Need a team to complete, we just made it with 4.
Gameplay
The puzzles were complex and challenging, maybe a bit much for first-timers. But with a little teamwork (and a lot of guessing), we eventually got through. There were definitely some spots where we felt a bit stuck, though.
Atmosphere
The set design was cool, with some nice interactive touches. It was fun seeing the other room’s group on the screen, even if it made us a bit envious! Overall, the decor and lighting did a great job adding to the lab vibe.
Customer service
Our game master was energetic and really added to the experience, making sure we felt immersed from the start.

A rather challenging room with opportunity to better signpost and diversify the puzzle offerings. Colour is used heavily throughout this game, so this may not be an overly accessible experience. Some interesting multi-step puzzles can be found throughout the experience, and it allows a larger team to split up and work on multiple puzzles immediately before merging into a linear path towards the game’s end. The experience offers an interesting concept by allowing players to engage as the narrative counterpoint to ‘Monkey Run’, with some limited player interactions in game. Ultimately, ‘Dr. Irov’s Laboratory’ toys with the idea more than executing a fully fledged trans-room experience. For a unique head-to-head experience, this may be the room (coupled with ‘Monkey Run’) for you. Helen was a kind host with a vibrant personality.
Gameplay
Leaps of logic and inconsistent signposting coupled with a plethora of colour puzzles and red herrings ultimately breeds confusion and uncertainty rather than game flow.
Atmosphere
Atmosphere and aesthetics were good, the interactive element that connects the game to ‘Monkey Run’ was very interesting!

Creative, interesting and different. Impressed we got out with just 2 people. Hardest part was not getting distracted by the other rooms.
