You find yourself in a dimly lit laboratory, standing before a towering machine that hums with potential energy. The Architect, a brilliant inventor, urgently explains that a massive storm is brewing outside and that its energy is the key to powering his latest creation. But time is running out - in just one hour, the storm will reach its peak and the window for harnessing its power will be gone. With the fate of your team in the balance, the Architect implores you to assist him in completing the machine and use it to escape through time!

I played all 3 games solo today. All 3 games are great in their own way. Each has an original element you’ve never seen before. This game is great for enthusiasts!

This is, in my opinion, my least favorite room at RabbitHole, but it still a fantastic room. It has challenging and engaging puzzles and is non-linear enough to do with a larger group.

This game had the most physical object puzzles of any game I’ve ever played. It was the most immersion I’ve ever experienced because I actually felt like I was building the machine myself.

Paradox had a subdued start that quickly evolved into a high tech travel through time. The setpieces of this game were the highlight, with the wonderful non-linear puzzling. A light story kept us moving forward, and the ending wrapped it all up in an exciting and spectacular manner. Definitely another great experience from Rabbit Hole that I would recommend to anyone!

A fantastic room! We loved the ambiance and the puzzles. I’ve played a lot of time travel-esque rooms and I can’t think of one I enjoyed more than this.

Great room, puzzles that really fit the theme, and really amazing set design. With 2 people, we got to split up and work on different things as well as collaborate on a number of puzzles. Lots to do, lots of variety, and lots of fun.

Rabbit Hole makes great escape rooms- it’s as easy as that. Paradox isn’t as shockingly incredible as Frost Base Z, but it is still a wonderful escape room with lots to appreciate. Highly recommended

This room deserves its laurels. The puzzles are great, very diverse, and the logic is intuitive. However, for a good portion of it, the puzzle order is provided for you, and that makes it a bit linear. The website recommends 4 minimum; I think it'd be best with 3 (due to linearity) but good up to 5.
