Company Crime Runners

Strong story, cohesive sets, and a GM who helps at exactly the right moment. We went as a family—everyone had something to do—and the finale really amped things up. Clear recommendation if you prefer a crime mystery over jump scares.

Keeps you constantly on your toes and ranks among the best storytellers out there. Several twists, a very immersive setting, and clever tech that changes the environment along with you. The puzzles are fun; only the last one can be frustrating depending on the team; pros should go in a small group of up to four.

Fun with many sections; the puzzles are fairly linear and mostly not too tricky. Requires teamwork; the props and atmosphere are top-notch, and everything ran flawlessly on the technical side.

After Going Underground, which was great, we played the three rooms at the other location. A focus on story is all well and good, but I’ve never lost a 60-minute room in 35 minutes—and here that happens because of a rule that, on the final puzzle, suddenly switches you to only 5 minutes remaining. According to the GM, many teams lose because of this; we failed the first one, the other two worked o... Expand

After a great experience at Going Underground, we played the three rooms at the other location. The focus on story is nice, but we’ve never lost a 60-minute mission with 35 minutes left. The rule of suddenly giving only 5 minutes for the final puzzle is, for us, a complete flop; according to the GM, many people fail precisely because of that. Overall okay, but the ending spoils a lot; at most I’d ... Expand

The game has some nice moments and cool effects, and the puzzles are pleasant to solve. However, it was too short and overall too easy for us; we finished in about half the expected time and kept thinking there would be more. If we hadn’t played all three rooms back-to-back, I would probably have been disappointed, because together they felt more like one big, complete game.

Epic finale! The story really picks up, the lab looks insanely good, and our GM was super attentive. I also thought it was great that everything is available in English or German. Clear recommendation.

Played with two teens and everyone was immersed in the story. Gamemaster was super attentive, the tech ran without hiccups, several surprising rooms. Absolutely recommended!

Technically perhaps the best of the trilogy, but we’re not horror fans and this was right on the edge for us. Because of that we avoided key objects, lost a lot of time, and, thanks to a very friendly GM with extra hints, we were able to keep playing. Still, there were lots of exciting interactions and some really cool moments.

A bit overhyped for me: great decor, but the exploration and light/sound are rather flat. Plus, the minimum-payer policy makes it pricey for two. Still okay overall, but not mind-blowing.
