About the escape room
IRIS is a world-first artificial intelligence program – a computing advancement that Exodine can’t afford to have offline. Shut down by a bitter employee trying to sabotage the company’s success, your team has been sent in to get the IRIS system back up… but maybe the employee wasn’t so bitter after all.

AI Overview

AIPlayers consistently praise the immersion: it looks and feels like a working IT lab, with IRIS banter and escalating urgency. Puzzles skew tech-heavy, can be tricky, and the flow sometimes gets muddy under a tight 50‑minute clock. Several reports mention malfunctioning elements and an auto-solve system that can resolve steps without consent, which breaks momentum. Staff are friendly and debrief well after the game.
WeaknessesSome teams hit broken or nonfunctional props and weren’t warned ahead of time, causing wasted effort. The auto-solve/hint system can push progress without player choice, which feels jarring. Direction can be confusing and the 50-minute limit feels tight for the puzzle load.
StrengthsStrong sense of place with a realistic office and server room vibe, plus immersive AI interactions. When functioning, puzzles are clever and satisfying, and the storyline pulls you along. Friendly hosts add to the experience.
SecurityNo safety issues or incidents mentioned; standard briefings implied. Rooms are office-style spaces with typical escape room supervision.
Level of fearNot horror. Light creepiness and urgency from IRIS and company messages, suitable for teens and adults who are okay with a bit of tension.
Actors' gameNo live actors reported; interaction is mostly via IRIS voice and in-room systems. Game masters are attentive, though some interventions auto-complete steps, which not everyone likes.
Quality of riddlesA mix of physical and computer-based tasks with inventive logic and satisfying aha moments once aligned. Difficulty runs high, and the pathing can be murky if you’re used to mechanical rooms. Faulty components and forced solves occasionally undermine otherwise solid design.
PlotYou’re sent to bring IRIS back online after a sabotage, and the job quickly feels more complicated than it first appears. The narrative escalates with messages and system prompts without heavy spoilers.
Difficulty levelChallenging, especially under a conservative 50-minute timer. Best for tech-comfortable teams; beginners and fans of purely mechanical puzzles may find it tough.
