Non linear room but done very well. Really had fun with the zombie theme of the room. If you can focus on the puzzles, search things thoroughly (not forcefully) and not let the spooky vibe distract you, then many will rock through the room. I enjoyed their other room Magic Cottage more but was pleasant surprised that the Zombie Lab was better than expected.
Non linear
Spooky vibe
GM was co-owner of the place and had a great conversation afterward. Didn't catch his name but he was very welcoming and even took a moment to answer questions we may have had regarding the room.

A pretty solid room, although a few puzzles have a bit of a "difficulty through obscurity" thing going on. One in particular that we actually somewhat skipped one step on via process of elimination, had a pretty obscure element to it. Room is pretty non linear, but a few obvious things made us find some stuff out of order making it a bit more difficult. Despite that, story and puzzles are pretty well integrated, and a few puzzle executions are actually somewhat unique and fun/surprising.

A few puzzles seemed a little difficult to figure out and made more sense a little after the fact.

A few props do have some spookiness. Not enough that I'd call spooky, but rating it as such just in case.
Can't say broken persay, but a few buttons that didn't quite want to register and were difficult to enter.

Weβve done similar style rooms in the past but this one was a standout in terms of its design, effects and I really enjoyed the puzzles.
Very impressive, so much work went into making these effects happen.
Isaac was awesome. Just the right amount of help when we needed it.

The set was fantastic. We struggled to get going in this room and I felt that a couple of the puzzles were vague, but we had fun.
Amazing!!
The owner and GM were wonderful.

Set design was quite cool, really good props, puzzles were simple yet challenging. Some things felt like they didnβt make a ton of sense. It was nonlinear with a decent puzzle flow. All in all, pretty good escape room.

Fun escape room. We did it with 4 people and finished with 20 minutes to spare! Wasnβt a linear room so we split into 2 groups and power through the puzzles! Zombies gave a good scare to our more easily frightened team members. The GM did a great job building the atmosphere.

Itβs fun zombie room thatβs family friendly. This is an older room and most puzzles were familiar. It is on the easier side and is in need for some upgrades to keep up with the growing industry.

Creative puzzles! Not my favorite room but was still pretty cool. Definitely recommend going with a larger group due to it being non-linear.

This room was pretty difficult for a group of two. We barely escaped, our GM was sweet enough to let us finish the room because we went about 30 seconds over time. Itβs a nonlinear room so I got frustrated from time to time with the puzzles, some of them are kind of unclear (or Iβm just dumb) The jump scares are repetitive and only made me jump the first time. I still enjoyed the room nonetheless, but prefer with a larger group!
βThe Zombie Lab provided a solid dose of fun puzzling and would serve as a great warmup...β
