: In order to survive this mission, The Director needs the bravest Operatives that can investigate and search a scene with minimal to no lighting all while avoiding an unknown paranormal entity. Our HR Team does not recommend this for Operatives with a fear of the dark, small enclosed spaces, solitary confinement, loud noises, paranormal themes, and/or fear of schools. Summon the dormant entity so you can confront it once and for all. Better The Bureau than an unsuspecting victim.

I can’t watch scary movies but was ok with this room. There was a part where I closed my eyes lol.

It’s a good game. However if having less flashlights than players is as annoying to you as it is to me, this room will not be for you.

You are in for a treat if anyone in your party scares easily. Puzzles are easy going and the atmosphere is great.

This was room was incredibly fun. I had an absolute blast with this one. It is definitely in my top five rooms I’ve ever played… super spooky… super fun. This one is a must!!!

This room’s atmosphere was on par for the theme, but the puzzles were so-so. The flow wasn’t the best and there’s a part that uses some force you wouldn’t expect after they tell you the room doesn’t require force. That being said, it was in no way the game master’s fault, she was super cool! The room wasn’t horrible, we liked it but it wasn’t the best.

This room felt more on the average side for me personally. It has a cool story line but the puzzles didn’t seem to all make sense. There wasn’t as much stuff to do as some of the other rooms here. I do not regret doing it but wouldn’t have been mad if I didn’t!

I’ll admit front that I personally don’t enjoy horror themes much, but I will say that this room does pull off its atmosphere particularly well. Our whole group ranged from spooked to freaked the entire time, even without live actors. The rest of the room, I wasn’t too impressed with. As much as I usually enjoy Bureau’s stuff, this one just didn’t do it for me. I think the room leans too heavily on atmosphere, whereas the puzzles are all pretty simple and easy. The room was very short; we would’ve finished in ten minutes if we weren’t moving slowly to avoid jump scares. The room also falls into a category that I don’t enjoy: most of the challenge came from the room being underlit. The whole room was very dark, and we were only given two flashlights for four people. For a room like Outage, where the whole thing is supposed to be done blind, this isn’t a problem. But in a room where that’s not the case, getting a worse time just because we flat out couldn’t see what was in front of us felt cheap and unsatisfying. Overall the room isn’t a bad time, especially if you’re after a scare, but overall the room is easy and short, and leans too much on the vibe rather than the puzzles.

The bureau is on a different level than most escape rooms. First and foremost, it is not a chain and so what you are playing is family run, family made and uses some of the most innovative game play I’ve ever seen in an escape room. I have done hundreds of games all over the world and the bureau is easily number 1 in my book. They use awesome technology in all of their games and the best part: it actually works every time! A lot of places use technology but you see malfunctions in every game. Not at the bureau. The atmosphere and game masters are great - they have an awesome lounge area and offer drinks at a bar. I wish I had a reason to throw an event just so I could book here. I can’t wait to see a new room from them. Possession at hadron heights is the most unique game I’ve ever played with technology I wouldn’t expect to be possible

Spooky! Not a traditional escape room but that made the experience better in my opinion. The puzzles fit the theme so so well so I 100% recommend.

Our fourth game here, we did this on a whim with just the two of us. It works very well with a couple. Especially if one is scared easily and the other can laugh at that person. Straightforward if you have a good knack at deciphering subtle prods, but always building and working towards a satisfying ending. Never one to disappoint, the bureau takes the concept of narrative non-lock gaming and nails it once again.
