Obi (Ivan): We tackled Galactic Pioneers as a group of five, which turned out to be a great fit for this room. It’s a true sci-fi adventure with a strong emphasis on the science side of the theme. You step into the roles of space explorers dealing with a sequence of events that really feel like part of a space mission gone sideways. The room is semi-linear, which worked perfectly for a larger group like ours—we could split into smaller teams and handle different tasks in parallel, making it feel like we were operating a real spaceship crew. The structure kept everyone constantly involved, and the pacing never let up.
The puzzles were clever, original, and very well integrated into the story and setting. Everything felt natural to the environment, and there was a great moment where all six of us had to operate together, like a coordinated crew under pressure—it was chaotic in the best possible way and made the experience feel truly immersive and team-driven. The game relies heavily on communication and collaboration, which we loved.
Design-wise, the room is clean, modern, and high-quality, with a solid sci-fi aesthetic that pulls you in. There’s no dead time in this game—there’s always something to do, and it’s packed with action and interaction. You don’t just solve puzzles—you work the ship. The atmosphere, pacing, and cooperative structure made it a dynamic and energizing room. Definitely a highlight of our trip and a great choice, especially if you’re going in with a bigger team.
