You find yourself in a dimly lit laboratory, standing before a towering machine that hums with potential energy. The Architect, a brilliant inventor, urgently explains that a massive storm is brewing outside and that its energy is the key to powering his latest creation.

With the fate of your team in the balance, the Architect implores you to assist him in completing the machine and use it to escape through time!

This was our favorite game at Rabbit Hole. Like the other games, the set design is fantastic. We really liked the puzzles and flow with Paradox. While the two of us made it out in time with a couple of hints, having more players would have been ideal.

One of the best rooms I’ve done out of ~30. This place goes above and beyond. Excited to do the next, and our final, room!

Maybe not as unique of an opening as their other rooms, but then this room escalates quickly. It builds up to an exciting finish. My team found this to be their easiest room at Rabbit Hole, but they are all pretty similar. At Rabbit Hole, all the rooms are amazing, just do them all

The room flawlessly captures the essence of a steampunk environment, providing a delightful experience that poses a challenge even for the most seasoned players. I am thoroughly impressed by the seamless integration of technology that drives the room. Without a doubt, this room is a must-do if you happen to be in the area.

My new favorite room! Great immersion, challenging but flowed well. We had 4 people, and needed every bit of brain power. Super unique puzzles. I liked this room better than their temple room, but both rooms were impressive!

We overall enjoyed it. There were some very hard things to do with two people. And some of the puzzles were on the difficult, truly think outside of the box. One puzzle seemed to be a bit time wasting. We had to pay for a second time to finish. But the immersion was extremely well done!!!

Like all rooms at rabbit hole, it was amazing with great technology and puzzles. It had a good flow without being strictly linear. Highly recommend!

My husband and I did all three rooms at Rabbit Hole and this one is my favorite. The room is very well designed and we loved all the puzzles. There were some cool high tech elements that blew my mind, and there weren’t any red herrings. I would say it’s pretty difficult for 2 people to escape because some of the e puzzles might require more than 2 ppl to solve. The staff was super helpful and helped us along the way. Great job guys!
