Breakout Manchester: Zombie Lab

Lifeless Lab

For one of their newest escapes, this room was a let-down. As you’ll see below, the story has been done a million times.

Story

Search a lab for a cure to the zombie outbreak- but find it quick as you’ve been exposed to the virus and will turn in an hour.

Puzzles

The puzzles were very bog-standard- I didn’t even have to think for some of them. In terms of hints, we needed one or two little nudges.

Mise-en-scene

The design/scenery was reminiscent of a tired prop room for a ghost train. A scattering of disfigured, tattily dressed dummies and the odd piece of laboratory equipment resulted in an experience that lacked any sort of character. There were missed opportunities for scares here.

Final Comments

We broke out in good time and, well, that was that. It’s only fair to say that, after leaving this review on TripAdvisor, a member of staff got in contact to say immediate improvements to the room will be made.
