Tick Tock Unlock Manchester: Project Pandora

"Aah, a zombie!"

NB: I used to work at this branch, and played this room as part of my induction (along with three other new starters, so this is technically the first escape room I've done with strangers).
Story

Visit an abandoned lab where the undead have been created in order to...put the pieces of Doctor Mara Thanatos' final work together...to prevent humanity from going extinct. To be honest, I never really got my head around this one. It didn't make any more sense in the room, either.

Puzzles

The first section was easy enough, but then it got tough, despite there not being an awful lot of them. A fair bit of the equipment was rather run-down.

Mise-en-scène

It just about passed for an abandoned lab ravaged by the undead, though there wasn't much scientific equipment lying around.

Final Comments

Having a live actor zombie really added to the experience...perhaps a little too much, though, as I was too frightened to think straight! The room would have been too bare and basic without.
