Welcome To The Machine

Lots of really cool tech and one of those games where you think you’re almost done but then there’s more and more and more. Was a tad confusing to get started because it’s non linear but once we were rolling it was fantastic. I did this with just my boyfriend and would probably recommend multiple to make the game a little smoother just because there is so much but overall a fantastic room and would love to do the others!

I have written reviews about the other two rooms of this place, and this room is yet again again levels above the competition. The puzzles were harder than other rooms, while still being fair. It was nonlinear, so people could be doing different things, and we didn’t have anyone really standing around doing nothing The atmosphere was cool at first, and it only got better as the game progressed. They do an insanely good job of giving you nudges if you’re falling behind, so you escape at the last minute, but you will always escape. Overall it was an insanely fun time! One of the better escape rooms I’ve been to, definitely top 5!

Lots of cool tech and some really challenging puzzles. The intensity builds like a Christopher Nolan movie. Your heart will be racing by the end of this one!

The intensity definitely builds in this room! Much like you'd expect, captivating worlds doesn't disappoint on immersion and atmosphere! A couple very fun puzzles in here and a couple wow moments make this an unforgettable room!

As always captivating worlds does an amazing job immersing you into the world. The rooms here are like none I’ve ever experienced

Not my absolute favorite game at Captivating Worlds (that would be Deep Underground) but still a solid play. It is by far their toughest room. As a team of 2 (experienced), we escaped, but just barely. You will do better with a few more people; 4-5 could be a sweet spot here, I think. There was one excellent and surprising reveal in the room and a really fun and frantic finale. The theming was excellent. My only minor complaint is that occasionally, things obviously opened but it wasn't very clear what it was; however our Game Master was quick to let us know where to look when that happened.

Edit: After playing all of the games at CW, this is my personal favorite! This was the first game I played at Captivating Worlds. Welcome to the Machine is both exciting and well thought out! The theming is great, all the way down to the sounds used. More importantly, the puzzles are logical and rewarding. There were several “aha!” moments we had while solving the puzzles, which felt great. We almost escaped as a team of two!

LOVED this room! So much fun! I went with 6 other adults. We had a great time! There are lots of tricky puzzles in this room. It DEFINITELY helped that we had 3 engineers in the bunch. We escaped with no clues, but felt very challenged. The last 15 minutes of the game were high intensity and so exciting. Highly recommend this room!

This is a difficult room. The puzzles are challenging. The atmosphere is intense. It is a fantastic experience. I was VERY surprised several times.

We drove several hours to play this game. As always the room and puzzles were amazing. It was challenging and fun.
