Thanks for taking the time to leave a mission debriefing Operative! We appreciate you saving Nessie even if it didn't quite meet your expectations. We apologize and hope to exceed your expectations with one of our other missions. Lab at Loch Ness is typically the most challenging for Operatives during the split start because of the need to rely on communication skills, but some of our groups do find it easy. While it is a favorite for some of our groups, every group is different, just like each of our missions is different! The Director also wanted to make you aware that we have a new training mission, Underground Game Show! You'll test your skills and with one our esteemed Game Show Hosts.

This was my second time heading to The Bureau after a fun experience with The Puppet Heist. As much as I love The Bureau, this time I was a little heartbroken. The opening experience wasn't there which really sets the mood for the company, but they managed to make it work with what they had in place while they are revamping it. The game itself was a unique story that I haven't come across yet and the scenery was impressive as always. The gameplay flowed alright, there was maybe only 1 puzzle that we questioned but unfortunately towards the later part of the game, we had a technical malfunction which set us back a few good minutes and really affected our flow of the game. The ending was cool but I wish it was a little bit more visible. All in all, I enjoyed the game but so far Puppet Heist is still at the top of my list.

Some great tech in this room. You can tell this is the oldest room in the building.

The Bureau has so far been my group's favorite place for escape rooms. The combination of atmosphere, set design, customer service, and the staff themselves has caused us to fall in love with The Bureau. We recently did theAftwr Dark service they provide which includes 4 rooms back to back with free coffee and half off on all drinks. My group did Possession at Haddon Heights, Lab At Lochness, UFO: Go for Launch, and Dr. Braingood. Lab at Lochness was my least favorite room they provide at the Bureau, but that isn't to say it was good it just goes to show that their other rooms were that great. This room starts off with a separate group so you have to communicate with each other and this was a fun aspect until the lack of puzzle in the first area caused some to stand there waiting for both teams to solve the last puzzle. Once that hurdle is crossed you enter the final room where the puzzles are a bit lacking as well but the set design is still wonderful. This was the only room we had technical issues with but was quickly fixed and we were given a free drink as compensation. The customer service and overall kindness of the staff are what make these experiences at the Bureau one to always remember.

This was the first game we played at The Bureau and also our first split start. We had been avoiding split starts since there are only two of us but we were able to do it so it was a big confidence booster for other split start games. A cute but somewhat brief game. I believe this was The Bureau's first game and they have definitely elevated their games since this one.

This was my first experience with The Bureau and it was AMAZING!! Their set was very immersive and the puzzles were very unique! So much so, we didn't touch a single padlock in this room! We didn't expect to be seperated in two seperate rooms from the start, and the communication between the two rooms was difficult with only 2 people, but it was very memorable.

It was good. Tech was fun, seemed a little short. Puppet heist is still the best room at bureau.

The room was designed well enough and the staff was friendly, but the issue is that youβre broken off into two groups that need to work together in order to escape. Communication is key for this, but it was really difficult to hear each other. This made the experience more frustrating than anything else.

donβt waste your money coming here. not traditional game play, everythingβs electronic and half of them are broken. this room was super easy and boring. might be fun for tourist who have never done a room before, but if youβre an escape room enthusiast you wonβt have fun here.
