Mark as done to rate

It is October 8, 1941 and U-boats are having the upper hand in the battle of the Atlantic. You served on an American destroyer which sank following a U-Boat attack. You survived the battle and were rescued by a German U-Boat, U-775. You are being kept as war prisoners. The following day the U-Boat is hit, and the crew evacuates in a hurry leaving you behind, locked up on the sinking Submarine. You will need all your knowledge to break out of containment and fix the sinking U-boat before the pressure of the deep Atlantic sea crushes the U-boat’s hull and sends it to the bottom of the ocean forever.

Good, not the best in town or at this location. Loved the theme and the immersive nature of the room. Puzzles were a little off at times and didn't seem to work until we asked why something wasn't working.

The room has narrow passages so if you have too many people, you'll bump into each other.

I love that you can pick to play this room at 2 different levels-easy and advanced. We chose easy as we had never played a room here before and wanted to see there flow of things. Room was very immersive and puzzles were decent-nothing special but really enjoyed how immersive it was

This was the best escape room I have been to. I have been to about 10 different locations. Everything from the waiting room to each room’s details were very well done

A lot of the puzzles were pretty simple to figure out. Majority of us was prior shipboard so we knew some of the puzzles were related to our past experiences.

Really nice set design. Convincing submarine interior. Most puzzles were well integrated with theme and story. Not the most advanced room but quite good overall.

GM was clearly not paying attention, and when we briefly backtracked to re-search a room 30 mins into the game she freaked out and started trying to scream clues at us for puzzles we solved 20+ mins ago.

Nicely themed submarine set. Puzzles were on theme and many advanced the narrative. Some were more task based than puzzles though. Overall fun though. I appreciated the variable difficulty level where depending on what level you wanted they would add or not include puzzles. This did lead to some inadvertent red herrings though since it was sometimes not clear that something wouldn’t be used at a given difficulty level.
