Lab Rat takes place in a laboratory where giant rats are doing odd experiments on human beings, specifically you! The somewhat unhinged Ratkenstein, a doctoral student in the field of human intelligence (or, in his estimation, the lack thereof), has tasked you with completing a series of tests and puzzles. If you succeed, he can finally write his dissertation. If you fail, he’s going to put you and your friends in the old test-subject chipper (like a wood chipper, but for test subjects!). You’ll have one hour to complete the tests and attempt to get out of the laboratory for good, before Ratkenstein turns you into mulch!

Lab Rat has a unique premise with great immersion, clever puzzles and mechanisms, and lots of twists and turns. One of my all time favorite rooms with several highly satisfying events.

This game is great and a lot of fun! It is a bit dated, but the puzzles and story still hold up. It’s a large room, with lots of fun unique elements!

Exceptional theming and production value. Nothing seemed themologically out of place that required you to suspend your realism any more than the set already required. Fun plot devices with interesting hints. You may get wet and/or have to eat things. (Not a spoiler, contained in the rooms rules before you enter) Puzzles were unique and required attention to detail and non linear thinking. Several I had never seen anything like before. Everything flowed pretty solidly, and without any hints we made it to the end with only 45 seconds left to spare. Really a fun production, worth a visit for any enthusiasts in the area. One or two malfunctioning (minor) pieces and some slightly nauseating imagery, did not detract from my overall appreciation of the piece.

I loved the story and the decoration and set of the escape room! Some puzzles were definitely a little on the trickier side. I loved that you definitely do feel like you’re a lab rat throughout the entire game.

I heard this is a must do and it was a fun room! I do wish our understanding of hints was better explained and some of the puzzles felt a bit questionable, but we had a good time! Always a bummer when you don’t escape but we got very close! Ask for hints early enough so you can get through the entire experience

Very fun type of room, but some of the puzzles felt a bit off. Also there’s a lot of videos that you have to watch.
Atmosphere
It was a very fun space for sure, fun props and surprises

Great Room with a lot of puzzles for everyone. Not linear and you can get distracted with so many things to do! Definitely worth your time and money!
