Galactic Pioneers is a very high quality game, definitely one of the best ones in Prague. Before the game you are introduced into the story through quite unusual briefing. You witness the high quality from the very first seconds when you step into the room. Also, you are greeted with a voice that could be familiar to people that have played a certain masterpiece of a video game that I won't specify :). As expected, that is a game with spaceship theme and it executes it very well. There are some actions to be taken in this game where calling them "puzzles" may be a bit of a stretch, but they just beautifully fit into the theme as in order to proceed you need to put yourself in a mindset of spaceship rebel from a movie rather than an escape room player and these are likely to be reminisced as highlights of this room . That by no means means that this is a "task room" as high quality puzzles are plentiful. The difficulty is rather high, it's geared towards analytical minds, be prepared to give your brain a proper workout. As much as I hate this expression, I imagine some people might call it a "mathematical room".

Also, I had a very unexpected conversation after the game. I was wearing a T-shirt from the company that I worked in a few years earlier - called "imo". Incidentally, that is also the acronym for the International Mathematical Olympiad (shortened as IMO, but in uppercase) that I attended in high school, but this connection is a total coincidence. When Game Master noticed my shirt he asked me if I participated in the IMO :D. I told him that my shirt has absolutely no connection to it, but nevertheless I did participate in it anyway :D. That's probably not that funny in the written form as it was for me then, but I would like to point out how unlikely that event was - from the perspective of GM, once he knows that "imo" and "IMO" have nothing to do with themselves, I am no longer more likely to have participated in IMO than a random stranger that has just played an escape room, so at this point probability of answering that positively is probably at most 1 in around tens of thousands and still it happened anyway :P.
