About the escape room
For a study, you and your team participate in about ten tests at THE DOME Research Facilities. The dangerously criminal cyborg Hector is simultaneously undergoing the first ever CMNT (controlled molecular neuro transmission) treatment on a cyborg. Hector turns out to be insensitive to the treatment and manages to hack the system of THE DOME during one of the tests with his internal computer. His accomplices manage to disable Thommas Wigg, the head of THE DOME's security, at the same time on the other side of the world. As a result, there is nothing that can stop Hector's breakout. Consequently, a extremely high dose of Sodium Cyclamate escapes into the research space. You and your team will be stupefied by this substance and from that moment on start to hallucinate heavily. Can you and your team let go of all logic after Hector's escape and go with the flow of your hallucination? Or do you get entangled in the illusion that under the influence of Sodium Cyclamate you have any idea what reality is… Experience it in the #1 escape room in the world!

AI Overview

AIVisitors praise the set, lighting and sound design, and the smooth, cooperative gameplay; it feels more like an experience than a classic escape room. The storyline is secondary or vague for many, but that hardly dents the fun. The pace is high and two can do it, but it’s tough; 3–4 works best, while 6 often feels a bit crowded. Some reports mention loud audio, sensory overload, and occasional technical hiccups; the lounge and the post‑game highlight video are beloved.
WeaknessesSound can be very loud and sensory intensity is high. The story feels messy or unfinished to some. Very occasional technical glitches or a hint that lands off‑timing; color‑based steps can be tricky for color‑blind players.
StrengthsOverwhelming set design and effects, clever transitions, and plenty of unique ‘WTF’ moments. Puzzles demand teamwork and feel fair, with a tight flow. Welcoming hosts and a great lounge with games and a fun post‑game video debrief.
SecurityGood briefing and solid build, but it’s loud, fast, and sometimes dark; earplugs can be nice. There’s a brief separation phase and some climb/reach moments, so mind each other and the pace.
Level of fearNo horror, but there are dark sections and spooky vibes here and there. Sensitive players or young kids may find the stimuli intense; for teens and adults it’s fine if you can handle busyness and noise.
Actors' gameThere are no live actors; interaction runs via tech and an attentive GM. Many players appreciate the subtle, well‑timed guidance and the highlight reel afterward.
Quality of riddlesMix of physical and mental tasks with strong cooperative elements; fewer ‘classic locks,’ more doing and experiencing. Clear next‑step signaling, yet challenging due to pace and parallel tasks. Note a few color‑dependent elements for color‑blind players.
PlotSci‑fi framing with a cyborg and a hallucination that flips the world upside down. It works mainly as a hook for the insane set pieces, less as a deeply told story.
Difficulty levelIntense and time‑pressure‑driven; experienced teams thrive here. With two it’s doable but tough; 3–4 is ideal and 6 can feel crowded.
