Welcome To The Machine

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!

One of my favorite rooms. After a while some of the themes repeat a lot but since this was designed by the guy who owns the place it was different. He actually has a background working in animatronics i believe. Super well done and loved the electronics/mechanical parts so not many lock and key puzzles - which made it unique and fun.

Creepy, retro atmosphere with a difficult, non-linear puzzle path. I recommend at least four players. Some light physical activity required by at least one player. Loud sound effects are included. Some puzzles could’ve used a little more direction but they were all enjoyable. Love the owners here!
