Review: Escape 999 - Time Race, Bury

Room Story - from Time Race Terrorists are suspected to be behind an outbreak of a man-made virus. You and your elite team of immunologists have just 30 minutes to identify and cure the deadly pathogen before it spreads from patient zero. The terrorists have sabotaged your ambulance, so you'll need to work twice as hard. Will you save a life before you arrive at the hospital? Key Stats Room Name Escape 999 Venue Time Race Location Bury, UK Date 01/09/2019 Escape Time 25:14 Team Size 3 My Recommended Team Size 2 - 3 Review Escape 999 is a 30 minute game set in an old decommissioned ambulance. There were three firsts when we played this game. It was our first vehicle based game. It was our first 30 minute game. And it was the first time we’d set a record for a game (it’s a very new game so once other enthusiasts play I’m sure we’ll be quickly eclipsed!). It’s very hard to compare a 30 minute experience in a limited space to some of the epically themed adve...

Review: The Invitation - Time Race, Bury

Room Story - from Time Race Professor Curtis Lockwood, adventurer extraordinaire, that was how he used to introduce himself to everyone. You remember stories he would tell of his adventures around the world, all the treasure he brought back, the damsels he saved. He was a hero to you. It had been months since you last heard from him which is why it surprised you when his butler called you and told you to meet him at the mansion. You arrive to find the place empty, no sign or Curtis or the butler. As you look around you remember about the secret gallery he used to take you as a kid. Quickly you head inside and find a letter addressed to you. What secrets could this letter contain? What happened to Professor Curtis Lockwood?

Review: Vault 17 - Time Race, Bury

Room Story - from Time Race Escape the nuclear fallout shelter, before the power fails forever. Key Stats Room Name Vault 17 Venue Time Race Location Bury, UK Date 04/11/2018 Escape Time 49:05 Team Size 3 My Recommended Team Size 3 - 5 Review We’ve always given Vault 17 a miss as we’d heard many reviews about the room being impossible to escape from. Many reviewers commented on the red herrings and deliberately misleading puzzles that unfairly prevented the most seasoned escapees from escaping. However, Time Race is now under new ownership and the new owners have reworked the game. We obviously can’t fully compare our experience to the original game as we never played it, but based on what I’ve read the game seems to have changed significantly. It’s a fun, excellently themed and really immersive experience that we’d definitely recommend. The premise of Vault 17 is quite simple. You’ve been living safely underground in a nuclear ...
