LAB RAT takes place in a laboratory where giant rats are doing experiments on human beings, specifically you! The somewhat unhinged Ratkenstein, a doctoral student in the field of human intelligence (or, in his estimation, the lack thereof), has tasked you with completing a series of tests and puzzles. If you succeed, he can finally write his dissertation. If you fail, he’s going to put you and your friends in the old test-subject chipper (like a wood chipper, but for test subjects!). You’ll have one hour to complete the tests and attempt to get out of the laboratory for good, before Ratkenstein turns you into mulch!
Important Booking Note: We can add and subtract players from your booking when you arrive at Hatch, so no need to worry about finalizing the player count before you get here!

FAQs
These FAQs apply to Lab Rat. Please find company-wide FAQs here.
-
In Lab Rat you’ll be given hints to ensure you get through the whole story in the time allotted (unless you loudly demand otherwise). As long as you trust us to pilot your experience, you’ll have an amazing time! Beginners and enthusiast alike enjoy Lab Rat.
-
Lab Rat has a 4-player booking minimum, meaning you are welcome to come as a team of 2-3, but you’ll pay for the minimum of 4 players. Just know that Lab Rat is more of a challenge for smaller groups—we think 4-8 participants is ideal.
-
Lab Rat is about 75 minutes top to bottom. There are 60 minutes of game play. The other 10-15 minutes account for some other fun stuff!
-
The minimum age to play Lab Rat is 8 years old. We will turn away groups with younger players. All minors (players under the age of 18) must be accompanied by at least 1 adult.
If a group of minors comes to play, there must be 1 adult present per every 5 minors. For example, if there are up to 5 minors, 1 adult must attend the experience. If there are 6 or more minors, 2 adults must attend the experience.
(Babies may join their parents so long as they remain in a hands-free carrier for the whole experience.)
-
None of our games have horror elements. Any ‘intense’ moments in Lab Rat are played for laughs. There is no gore, serious jump scares, or complete darkness.
Also, you are never actually locked in. You can leave at any time through the clearly marked emergency exits.
-
Lab Rat requires participants to stand for extended periods of time.
Some puzzles require physical mobility, but nothing a team of 2 hasn’t been able to handle.
-
Lab Rat is accessible for most chair users. There is one area that cannot be physically accessed via wheelchair. However, most of that area IS visible and chair users can still participate in puzzle solving. Please note that chair users will need a teammate’s help to reach elements of some puzzles.
Lab Rat includes bright changing lights as well as moments of darkness.
Guests with sensory limitations may encounter moments of overstimulation.
