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!

What a fun, original room!! Many puzzles I had never seen before, very cleverly designed and super fun to do! We had a group of four, of varying experience, and it was perfect. All the staff was great, and we loved our gamemaster. Will definitely come back to try their new room!

We were so excited for this room and it did not disappoint! The puzzles were clever and the immersion was awesome. We did have one lock issue but our GM Ben was nothing short of fantastic. His sidekick Shiloh was a sweetie, as seen in the photo! Looking forward to coming back here for their other rooms!

Just finished playing this room with our awesome GM Ben (and his trusty friend Shiloh)! We had a great time and one of the best GMs we’ve had at any of our games — great energy and SO understanding and considerate. The room play was so fun and pretty unique. Definitely go with a group you work well with 😉 Can’t wait to try their other rooms!

Completed it with 6 on time. Felt like they gave us too many hints though!

I know I’m adding just another positive opinion to the pile, but as a new group of escapers, this was everything we were looking for and more. The room feels like an indoor playground you go to as a kid. A lot of great easter eggs, visual gags, etc. Stylistic to the max. I personally loved the puzzles, too! Some cerebral, some lateral, a lot of stuff we really enjoyed tackling. I saw some comments about the “forced” hints being a turn-off, but our GM (Michael) only gave us nudges towards correct answers and away from irrelevant stuff, never definitive answers. The whole thing slid together to make something downright fantastic. For me, it lived up to the hype!

A really cool room that plays with dimension and transports you to a parallel world where rats are king and humans are vermin

Our first experience at Hatch, venturing into the 'Lab Rat' escape room at Hatch was a whirlwind of excitement for our group of five. What truly set this experience apart were the uniquely crafted puzzles that challenged our minds in ways we never expected. From cracking complex codes to unraveling intricate mechanisms, each puzzle was a masterpiece of creativity and ingenuity. If you're seeking an escape room that offers a one-of-a-kind puzzle-solving experience , look no further than 'Lab Rat' at Hatch Escape Room. It's a journey you won't soon forget! We are looking forward to the next experience with Hatch Escape Room 🤍

Yes. Do this room! Excellent story and decor. You really get immersed from the start. Some really good and unique gameplay in here and our GM was a superb host. Not much I can really say without giving away some fun moments here but think of this as a role reversal, where you are rats in the cage, while the rats are the ones testing you! We had a group of 6 but I think maybe 4 or 5 would work well. More than 7 might get a bit cramped in some places. Difficulty I'd say in the medium-hard range. Good for enthusiasts. Beginner's may find it a bit challenging in spots. Overall though, it was a blast and highly recommend.
