It embodied the sort of fantastical whimsy one can concoct with a fairly low-budget set, boundless creativity, and some wonderfully impractical ideas brought to life. This game lived up to the company&#8217;s namesake and was indeed not just another escape room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ll admit, my confidence in the experience wavered at the start. The time machine felt like what some children might build while playing make-believe as time travelers \u2014 a sort of tin foil-coated-cardboard-box-meets-conspiracy theorist&#8217;s lair \u2014 and it was initially unclear whether this aesthetic was an intentional choice or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet this ultimately provided effective contrast for what was to come. I was soon met with moment after moment of childlike wonder as the room continuously unfolded in unexpected ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, I found <em>Time Machine <\/em>to be charming, clever, and quite memorable. If you&#8217;re looking for a Hollywood-level set, this may not be the game for you. But if you&#8217;re open to a unique and lovingly homemade adventure, Not Another Escape Room&#8217;s <em>Time Machine<\/em> was a delight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/not-another-escape-room-time-machine-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"771\" data-attachment-id=\"102477\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/not-another-escape-room-time-machine-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/not-another-escape-room-time-machine-2.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,904\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"not-another-escape-room-time-machine-2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/not-another-escape-room-time-machine-2-1024x771.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/not-another-escape-room-time-machine-2-1024x771.jpg\" alt=\"An old living room with a small packman arcade machine.\" class=\"wp-image-102477\" srcset=\"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/not-another-escape-room-time-machine-2-1024x771.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/not-another-escape-room-time-machine-2-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/not-another-escape-room-time-machine-2-768x579.jpg 768w, https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/not-another-escape-room-time-machine-2-400x300.jpg?crop=1 400w, https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/not-another-escape-room-time-machine-2-200x150.jpg?crop=1 200w, https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/not-another-escape-room-time-machine-2-685x516.jpg 685w, https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/not-another-escape-room-time-machine-2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who is this for?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Adventure seekers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Story seekers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Puzzle lovers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Any experience level<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Time travelers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Story<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Calvin J.

The set was sparse and somewhat flimsy, akin to a tin foil-lined box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But that was just the beginning. As the game progressed, the set unfolded in unexpected and delightful ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gameplay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Not Another Escape Room&#8217;s <em>Time Machine<\/em> was a creative escape room with a moderate level of difficulty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Core gameplay revolved around puzzling, making connections, searching, and video game-esque minigames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Analysis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2795&nbsp;<em>Time Machine<\/em> stood out for its transitions; surprises awaited us behind every door. While I&#8217;ve seen variations on the core mechanic used in other escape rooms, I was impressed by the seemingly impossible number of times it was pulled off in <em>Time Machine<\/em>, executed in a way that felt like magic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><meta charset=\"utf-8\">\u2795\/\u2796&nbsp;<em>Time Machine<\/em>&#8216;s set had a distinctly homemade aesthetic that ranged in effect from charming to flimsy and underwhelming. A more intentional build consistency \u2013 especially if that meant leaning more fully into an overtly low-budget, tin-foil-hat aesthetic in parts \u2014 could have communicated <em>Time Machine<\/em>&#8216;s narrative in a more visually cohesive manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2795 The final area of the game was filled with nostalgic props and interactions and provided an awesome backdrop for a prompted in-game selfie opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><meta charset=\"utf-8\"><meta charset=\"utf-8\">\u2795&nbsp;The puzzles were logical, creative, and varied, and they generally supported the time travel narrative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><meta charset=\"utf-8\">\u2795\/\u2753 A video game-esque sequence was fun and well implemented. It matched the context in which it was presented, but it bordered on feeling like filler past a certain point. My team enjoyed this segment, but your mileage may vary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><meta charset=\"utf-8\">\u2795&nbsp;A phone-a-friend moment was a clever story-driven highlight of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2795&nbsp;<em>Time Machine<\/em> concluded with a message that amusingly reflected the zeitgeist of the 2020s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips For
