Review: AT Escape - Bunker Evac


Escape Mission #15.

Today we attempted Bunker Evac.  It was one of the few places that are open during the holiday season.  Overall, it was a decent experience, we got out in about 35 minutes, using 1 hint in the process (although the game master was nice and gave us actually 1.5 hints).

The room is decorated well, once you step inside, you do feel like you're in a bunker.  There are some nice background sound effects to add to the mood.  The space is very, very small, so honestly I wouldn't recommend more than 3 escapees.  We went with 2, and thought it was the perfect number.

Puzzles are OK.  It wasn't overly difficult, although there was one that requires a bit of a logic leap and I don't think we could have solved it without help.  I like that there is a good variety of puzzles, and not just plain old combination locks.  Still, nothing was overly high-tech, and throughout the entire experience, there weren't any "ooooh" or "aaaaah" surprise moments.

Personally, I prefer BioLab Extraction and Library Lockup over Bunker Evac, so try those 2 rooms first before attempting Bunker.

Overall Score: 3.5/5
