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!

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.

Absolutely loved this room. It’s been a year (just downloaded Morty) so I can’t speak on it as intricately as I’d like. It was immersive, interesting and engaging, just a blast overall. Can’t recommend it enough

Having done over 75 escape rooms, it isn't often that we see a room that is wholely unique and stands out from the rest in the way that Hatch does with Lab Rat. My family of four just completed the room on a whirlwind tour of LA. Hatch was kind enough to open a bit early to accommodate our tight schedule and we are so thankful they did. The room is an absolute must do - worth traveling for. The puzzles are so well thought out and satisfyingly tactile to solve, and the story and immersion really take it over the top. Our game master, Liv, was phenomenal. Her orientation was engaging and thorough. The nudges she gave were clear and efficient, and she didn't interject unnecessarily. Our room experienced a tech glitch, and she rolled with it admirably and handled it in a way that didn't disrupt the flow of our game. This room quickly took a spot as one of the best rooms we've ever done. We can't wait to order their home games to see how their immersive in-person experience translates to an in-home adventure.

The escape room was immersive and the theme was really fun! Puzzles were creative, not difficult for the sake of being difficult, but not stupid easy either, they just flowed really well! We did it as 2 people and escaped, but the GM is pretty involved (we were ok with this) and will help you out so you can see the room.
