The story is set back in time. It’s the late 70s-early 80s, the peak of the Cold War between the United States of America and the Soviet Union. Tension is rising, and both armies are on high alert. The biggest spy of this time is a double agent who secretly works for both sides. Someone has infiltrated his bunker and initiated the nuclear warhead launch sequence. A special ops team has been dispatched to abort the launch at any cost. You are the worlds last hope.

Niall was super helpful with the hints but it was definitely a bit of a difficult room. If you like the theme, it's definitely fun but if like maps and stuff aren't your jam, I'd recommend trying their other rooms

Unless you enjoy geography and math, this may not be your favorite room. The room design and props are very basic. Not horrible, just wasn’t one of our favorites.
I feel like the set is very basic. It has plenty of props that you can wear, but aside from items that you need for actual puzzles there’s not much extra. The first room just looks like a basic office with some military gear. The second room just looks boring with some basic tables with numbers. There really isn’t much to look at. There’s also one big prop you need from beginning to end, but it doesn’t light up or make any sounds that lets you know that it’s working.

The storyline was just okay. This game definitely doesn’t feel super immersive. It’s hard to forget that you’re just in any other room with this game and that you can just walk out the door. Feels more like playing pretend rather than immersive.
Medium
I’m going to say medium because most puzzles plate easy to figure out. There’s one puzzle where you need to have communication. But there are two puzzles in particular where you need to be good at and enjoy some math. There’s also some map reading. So do with this what you may. If you’re not good at math, communicating or geography, I can see this being a difficult room.
Mechanical
There is nothing high tech about this game at all. Nothing impressive.

This is an escape room theme that has been done over and over again, not necessarily in a good way. The flow is mostly linear, with one part where two teams could tackle two different puzzles. There are still some fun puzzles sprinkled in where communication is necessary, and those are always a favorite for us, but the overall room feels dated and old. I haven’t done all of the escape rooms yet at Wild Goose but this one is probably the first one that should be reimagined to a different experience. Our game master was as helpful as she could be, but her hints could have taken our previous conversations into context. Overall, still a good time but I would defer to the other rooms at this location.

It’s a good game not a great game. I wouldn’t drive out of my way to do this but if it’s close to where you live then it’s a good way to spend an hour.

History buffs enjoyed this room a lot. Teamwork is challenged in this room with a separation requirement. Fun artifacts and storyline. Need to sort through a lot of things to determine which is needed for some of the puzzles. One of them was quite challenging and we needed a couple hints. Overall would recommend and have been back for other rooms, which we have also enjoyed.

We ended up doing this one because we were on a roll from completing two others and this one was a great addition. The environment and decor was really strong and there was a lot to do.
this one took some patience, definitely linear with one thing leading to the next and not being able to continue without certain things first.
Great design!

Pretty interesting puzzles. It was good to have a math nerd with us.

This was a very fun game to play! There were definitely Gen 1 and Gen 2 vibes. It is a very manageable game with both beginners and experienced players alike! The only knock is that sometimes it can get a little too cramped and you can trip over each other but you’ll get used to it. Overall I recommend this room. Give it a shot!

Over analyzed some puzzles but overall solid room with some red herrings.

Solid room. The puzzles were more challenging that another room at the location which was great!

It was a great game to play! Definitely took a bit to get started on the first clue but once we found the first one we breezed through the rest. It’s a good game to play with a big group we had 6 in our group. I would say make sure someone knows math before doing this room!
