You and your fellow human beings have been captured by rats for experimentation by Ratkenstein! You are put to the test in this flip-flopped world where humans are the test subjects instead. The unique theme of this room is like none other where you are pulled into a world where you are expected to run a series of tests and challenges put together by rats. The setup and ambiance of the room really made me feel trapped and it was amazing.

The unique theme is reflected in the puzzles, though not impossibly difficult – but reflective of the environment. There were some surprising moments that made this room exciting and dynamic, which was supplemented by Ratkenstein’s quirky personality.

I highly recommend this room based off of the theme and story-driven experience! There is a reason why this escape room has made number 1 on a variety of top escape room lists over the years.
