THE QUICK AND DIRTY
Play if… you’re good enough friends with someone that you don’t mind being locked up with them for up to an hour.
Avoid if… you’re claustrophobic. Or don’t have anyone you consider that good a friend.

The Room
Description (from the company website): You and your partner are astronauts exploring the awesome enormity of outer space. You’ve been dazzled by stars, and dodged black holes, and watched as celestial storms raged over the surface of foreign worlds.
Then: in the distance, a fast growing light. You have inadvertently flown into alien territory, and one of their defensive vessels has open-fired on your ship. Your ship has been vitally damaged. In a last-ditch effort to save yourselves, you land on the nearest planet: Venus.
Luckily, you have lost the alien trackers: for now… You only have one hour to repair your ship, and restore power, before the aliens hunt you down. The only way to tackle this captivating challenge is together.
Two brains. One hour. Zero time to waste. Can you and your partner crack this cosmic conundrum?

OUR EXPERIENCE
Logistics:
Description of the room: The room is small, but it’s only for 2, so adequate for the people. Sparsely decorated, it’s believable enough to be in a space craft. There’s writing on the floor, lights all over, and a computer on a desk next to a large locker with multiple cabinets.
Understanding of the Mission: You are locked on a space craft that has crash landed, and you need to repair it within 60 minutes.
Did We Escape: Yes, details to come
Time Remaining: We’ll get into this later; Final Thoughts at the very bottom.
