About the escape room

LOS ANGELES, California; the year is 2039.

It was supposed to be a vaccine. It was supposed to protect us from the return of Cholera. Who could have predicted the side effects were death, and then reanimation of your corpse? With most of the world infected, there aren't many places left to hide from the zombies. You spend your days trying to find food and supplies - and trying to NOT get bitten.

That was... until yesterday. It wasn't even a real bite! It felt like a scratch. But you know there are very few second chances any more. You can feel the blackness creeping into your extremities. It’s only a matter of time until you turn.

You need to break into the abandoned government Bunker 57, pray that the antivirus they were working on is viable, and inject it into yourself before time runs out. You have 60 minutes before you have to make a very difficult decision...

AI Overview

AIPlayers consistently praise the decor and the strong storyline, noting that most puzzles are logical. The room leans challenging but engaging, with several shout-outs to effective jump scares. Groups of four felt comfortable and believe a couple more people could fit without crowding. Fun seems to rise with teamwork, as several moments benefit from multiple eyes.

WeaknessesA few steps may read fuzzy to some teams, so collaboration helps. Little to no chatter about live actors or interaction specifics, so expectations there are unclear.

StrengthsImmersive bunker-themed sets and a compelling narrative keep you invested. Jumpscares land without overwhelming the puzzle flow. Most challenges feel fair and coherent.

SecurityNo safety concerns surfaced in the reviews, but there’s no data on briefings or physical rules. Assume standard escape room guidance on touching and movement.

Level of fearExpect a spooky vibe with legit jump scares, more suspenseful than gory. Likely fine for teens and adults; younger kids or the easily startled might struggle.

Actors' gameNo direct mentions of live actors in reviews, suggesting the experience is driven by environment and story. Interaction seems focused on puzzles and exploration rather than actor-led moments.

Quality of riddlesPlayers call the puzzles mostly logical and satisfying, with difficulty on the higher side. A couple of moments may feel unclear, but teamwork tends to smooth those bumps. Variety appears solid without veering into busywork.

PlotSet in 2039 Los Angeles during a zombie outbreak, you break into Bunker 57 to find a lifesaving antivirus. You’ve got 60 minutes to cure yourself before things go very wrong.

Difficulty levelModerate to hard. Best for groups with at least a little experience; first-timers may want hints ready.
