Overall Thoughts
Lab heist is a single room escape based in Durham city centre. The set design for this room is great; with smoke, lasers and special effects the atmosphere is set for this room the second you get to the door to enter.
With a laser to avoid during the first part of the game it keeps you on your toes while you frantically solve puzzles with your teammates.
A lot of the puzzles linked multiple items in the room in an intuitive manner that was easy enough to follow. This room perfectly wove together technology and mechanical puzzles even including a computer game to solve.
Great introductory room if you've not done an escape room before.
