Recommended team size from website is 4+, but we were allowed to play as a 3 due to previous escape room experience. Definitely felt like there was enough to do in the room as a 3 so larger groups would get on well with it. It was very well themed and enjoyed the story of the room, especially with the ending. None of the puzzles felt repetitive or overused and there was enough sign posting in the room for things to make sense without being glaringly obvious. My only gripe is that some of the cupboards didn't open without (what I would consider) excessive force and we missed couple things early on because we weren't pushing hard enough. We basically had to get a clue for "hit it harder", which resulted in a teammate just punching it for it to open. The games host, Johnathan, was excellent though and we had a good chat between our game. Definitely sold the experience to us.

Little bit harder as a 2 in the time but certainly do-able. An older room but a great theme and well done. Some of the puzzles are a little more tricky to follow but we enjoyed it overall.
Not too impressed with this despite some favourable reviews. The set felt poorly maintained and tech felt janky / unresponsive. Puzzles needed better signposting and there was a lot of faffing around as it wasn't obvious what to focus on next. Ending was something different at least - although the difficulty selection at such a late stage seemed like an odd inclusion. There were some fun references throughout however

Space-themed games aren't our normal top choice but we really enjoyed First Contact; it's a well-trodden theme that's been approached from a different angle here and it was lovely to see something a bit different.
There are some common spaceship tropes but also some quirky elements that added to the nice variety of puzzles.
Hosting was particularly good - our GMs were really friendly and suggested a lovely cafe for us for our wait between games.

An Alien Adventure
I brought (most of) my original
team who I did my very first escape room with here…to play my 100th! If you’re
a student, Cryptology offers 10% discount.
Story
Board a stranded space vessel and
find out what happened to the crew- be prepared to make a tricky decision on
the way!
Puzzles
There was a good variety of challenges-
technological and not-so-technological, but in a humorous way. Some of them
were difficult and so a handful of hints were needed.
Mise en scene
It was an immersive room, made to
look like an abandoned space lab. The low lighting and smoke machine helped.
Final Comments
We chose the ‘best’ (and
trickiest) ending, escaping with three minutes to spare. Our host was very
welcoming: they presented us with slices of ‘Escake’ to celebrate my hundredth.
This game needs/benefits from a larger group as there are lots of puzzles, information, and props to interact with throughout. There are some fun and immersive touches that help you feel like you’re on a space adventure and the team at Cryptology are super nice. We chose the First Contact ending and I think finished with about 5 minutes left (it may have been less). A well paced room with lots to discuss afterwards!

We did all 3 rooms at Cryptology but this one was our favourite. This room is designed for a team of 3+ people but for experienced teams of two who know how escape rooms work, it is achievable. The story was enjoyable and funny and there was a lot to do in this room. The use of tech was good. We had three great gamesmasters who were engaging and made our time really enjoyable, thanks to: Robyn, Ash and Johnathan. The cards with the funny quotes of the game at the end were a nice touch. We will definitely be heading over to your site in Nottingham soon as per your recommendation.
It was quite fun actually! Just a little bit too much stuff in the room, it would have been nice to have a little more direction inside the room, it was a long time ago though. There was a weird "multiple endings" thing at the end that was poorly explained, I think there was a difficulty selection thing but it didn't make a lot of sense what it actually wanted to do. Neat concept though!
I found afterlife a bit better, the pacing just felt more natural

A good game marred slightly by broken digital padlocks. Bit of a push for two to complete, hence the three player requirement. Order of puzzles slightly hap-hazard but well themed without. Worth a try if you're passing the area.
Great setting. Very tech heavy which is not a particular fan of but I enjoyed the room. After playing Cryptology in Nottingham I had high expectations for this venue, but I just didn’t get that with the Sheffield Branch….
This room was great and I can see how players love it, I just didn’t click with the room. It didn’t flow well for me. There’s much better rooms within the same “genre”
We played this when it first opened and I believe it has been tweaked since then. There were definitely some teething issues with technology not working and some illogical puzzles. It was an ok game but not up to Cryptology’s usual standard.

A very hi-tech game that is very different to all the escape rooms we have done before. They had a great use of video segments to enhance the story.
Because it was a sci-fi game it made great use of the technology in there but not so much that it feels distracting from the main mission. There are some great shoutouts to sci-fi films and series! It was our fave game of the day

schön
We just didnt gel with this game, took a really long time for us to click with it. Could be that we were a two and there was a looooot to do. Luckily the host gave us an extra three mins to finish.
Sci-fi themed game with an awful lot to do. Non-linear in basis but make no mistake there is a lot to do so I would recommend 3-4 at a minimum. The plot is atypical sci-fi fare but there is a twist at one point that can affect the eventual outcome and makes you think about your actions.
The game that introduced us to Cryptology- and what a game it was! We played this with our friends and regular escape companions, Tasha and Rach, and all four of us LOVED it! There was simply so much to do! In this game, you are tasked with boarding the TRSS Caelus to find out what happened to the crew of the spaceship orbiting Mars whose communication has ceased…
