The burning and churning of the engine room surrounds you with the acrid smells of straining and groaning machinery, red-lined to the limit. Full speed ahead.
BOOM!
A dull roar, a screech of distress. A staccato of rivets shoots across the room, the steel hull tearing like a sheet of paper. The firmament below your feet is shaking. The camshaft shudders under the impact.
Our room concept The Breach places you in the engine room of the Titanic. Aiming to capture the dynamic seconds in which the iceberg pierced the hull of the ship.
Will you take command or go down with the ship?
It's a call for all hands on deck.
