About the escape room
A secret organization known as The Enigma Group has called upon Back In Time for help!
The lead investigator at The Enigma Group, Agent Smith, went missing back in 2010. He was investigating a series of crimes apparently perpetrated by an individual who calls himself "The Proctor". This person has been known to test individuals in strange and often deadly ways.
After over a decade, the search for Agent Smith has gone cold.
Desperate for help, The Enigma Group has reached out to Back In Time to send a team back to Agent Smith's office to see if they can determine the fate of Agent Smith and shed some light on this case.
You and your team must try to gather any information that may help in putting the case of Agent Smith to rest...one way or another. But be warned! The Proctor is sure to try and test your team's skills... and failure could be fatal!
Do you have what it takes to match wits with a master criminal and determine the fate of Agent Smith? Sign up for this mission and find out!

AI Overview
AIReviews consistently call it linear but engaging, with steady flow and lots to do. Difficulty skews challenging yet fair, especially for groups that like reading, searching, and making logical connections. Puzzles lean mechanical and lock-based with some tech, and everything generally works smoothly. Opinions split on immersion: some found it atmospheric, others thought the set felt old-school and sparse.
WeaknessesThe linear path can create bottlenecks and may not suit players who prefer open layouts. A few felt the scenery was dated and minimal, and the extra countdown can throw off pacing if you ignore it. Expect a fair bit of reading.
StrengthsNon-stop, well-structured puzzles with clear logic and variety keep teams busy and satisfied. Tech and props are reliable, the detective theme ties clues together, and the GM support gets praise.
SecurityNo issues flagged; tech and locks functioned and nothing was reported broken. Standard briefings and visible timers keep players oriented, though you should watch that secondary countdown.
Level of fearNot a scare room; it’s tense by theme but light on frights and jump scares. Suitable for teens and adults who enjoy detective vibes over horror.
Actors' gamePlayers mention a solid, attentive GM, with Victor getting a shout-out for good hosting. There’s minimal actor interaction; the experience is puzzle-led.
Quality of riddlesLots of honest, logical puzzles with a mostly mechanical feel and a good spread of locks and mechanisms. The path is linear yet sometimes unobvious, prompting exploration to find the next step. A major reveal runs on its own countdown, adding pressure without feeling unfair.
PlotYou’re digging into Agent Smith’s disappearance while outwitting The Proctor, a villain who loves tests. The narrative frames the clues well without getting in the way of play.
Difficulty levelChallenging for newcomers but very doable with hints; best for two experienced players or a group of three to four with at least one veteran. Reading-heavy teams and logic fans will shine.
