About the escape room
In 2013, NASA sent the USS Conquest on the first manned mission to a galaxy other than our own. Radio silence was expected, but it came as a shock when The Conquest sent a transmission saying they had found life. When NASA frantically sent the ship countless follow-up transmissions, there was no response. To no surprise, none of this was ever made known to the public. The year is now 2023. You and your fellow astronauts have been sent on a classified mission to either rescue The Conquest or make contact. Upon entering the unknown galaxy, countless lost transmissions from The Conquest are received. You manage to locate the ship on the third planet from the foreign galaxy’s sun, Planet Zoe. Unfortunately, while landing on the planet you hit a boulder and crash the ship, permanently damaging it. You and your team have 60 minutes to power the emergency generator in the USS Conquest, find out what happened to its crew, and launch back to Earth before you are taken aboard a seemingly-hostile craft. Can you solve the mystery of the USS conquest and make it back to Earth in time?

AI Overview

AIFeedback is mixed on production value, with some calling the spaceship set impressive and others finding it cheap or dated. Puzzles land as standard and sometimes single‑threaded, which can stall bigger groups and dull the finale. Heavy reliance on blacklight creates bottlenecks and confusion about what’s playable. Technical hiccups and a missed reset hurt flow and made the story feel underwhelming for several players.
WeaknessesCommon knocks include tech issues, a missed reset, and a finale that doesn’t quite pay off. The set quality varies by room, with the “moon” area and some props feeling cheap. Overuse of blacklight and unclear prop boundaries led to confusion and waiting.
StrengthsSeveral players enjoyed the spaceship atmosphere and said the production can feel cool in places. The game is accessible and works well for newcomers or small teams. A few noted fun moments and a straightforward mission arc.
SecurityNo safety concerns were mentioned, just a few technical malfunctions that caused brief stops. Standard briefing and oversight are implied through the game master’s presence.
Level of fearNot scary and no horror elements reported, so it’s fine for kids and cautious players. The tension is more sci‑fi urgency than jump scares.
Actors' gameNo live actors reported; interaction is mostly through the game master for hints. One review called out a reset mistake late in the game, which paused progress.
Quality of riddlesPuzzles are fair but fairly standard, with a few fun ideas mixed in. Single‑threading and blacklight‑gated steps can create choke points. Tech glitches occasionally disrupted flow and made connections harder to follow.
PlotYou board the USS Conquest to discover what happened and get back to Earth before a hostile craft intervenes. The premise is clear, though several players felt the narrative progression and ending were flat.
Difficulty levelEasy to moderate overall, good for first‑timers and groups of three to four. Experienced enthusiasts may find it basic and occasionally slow due to single‑threading.

The spaceship look is cool, but there’s way too much blacklight work and only a couple people can use them. Our GM missed a reset near the end, so we had to wait, and the story never really built; after a dozen rooms, this is my least favorite because the puzzles were just okay.

Fun theme and a clear goal, and our group of four breezed through without feeling lost. Some set pieces looked great, others looked budget, but we still had a good time. Not scary at all, which worked for our tween.

I loved the spaceship atmosphere and the pacing clicked for us. A couple puzzles were clever and the room looked cool under the lights. Would recommend to newer players or mixed‑experience teams.

Set and props felt on the cheaper side and the finale didn’t deliver, but we still had a decent time. Most puzzles were pretty standard and a few were single‑path, which slowed the group.

The GM had to jump in and fix a reset issue near the end, which broke the momentum. Puzzles were fine but nothing special, and the story didn’t really crescendo. Decent for a casual night, not a must‑play.

Too much UV hunting and a finale that landed with a thud. Some props felt flimsy and it wasn’t always clear what we should touch. We finished, but it didn’t wow us.

There are some neat moments, but the blacklight dependency meant only two of us could actually do anything at times. Flow felt choppy, though staff were friendly and helpful. Overall just okay.

This one actually made us feel like we were on a ship. Great for a team of four and a solid pick for beginners.

It was fine, but tech issues made it hard to keep momentum and understand the flow. Production is nice, so I wish it had run cleaner.

I’m not a fan of this location’s style; it feels dated in ways that make gameplay confusing. We had more fun with the cabin than with the spaceship.

We didn’t click with this room. The decor looked fine, but it was tough to tell what was interactive versus just set dressing, so we left unimpressed.

The set looked a bit cheap in places, and the second area—the moon—felt underwhelming.

Loved it. Production design pops and the puzzles were a lot of fun.

I wouldn’t make a special trip for this one. It’s serviceable, but nothing here really stands out.
