    Simply brilliant- one of our favourite rooms ever. You enter the home of a brilliant, but now deceased, explorer & have 60 minutes to discover his secrets. The decor & props in the room integrate really well with the theme, as does the clue system allowing you to remain immersed throughout. Once you discover the secret to this room, you can’t help but keep thinking about where it will take you next- but these is lots more to do in the meantime!

    Amazing 4d design. You need to be physically able to complete this room as it involves ladder type stairs, but wow, what a room! You start outside in the street & will have to work out how to enter the target premises, which appears to be a normal house. From there you begin a journey into the murky world of drug production & distribution…

    Wow. Just wow. The theme of this ‘room’ isn’t like any other we’ve done- it’s more like the Crystal Maze with zones where you have to collect ‘dream keys’. The rooms within this room have really different themes and require totally different attributes/skill sets from the players which means there’s something for everyone, & you can’t help but wonder what’s coming next as you progress. Searching, counting, cooking (yes, cooking!!!) there’s so much to do here! The finale is tailored to your group size which makes this behemoth of an experience do-able for a pair, with a physically challenging finale of fun. Absolutely brilliant fun, lots of variety & easily one of my top 10 venues to date.

    Whilst one of the pivotal props felt quite worn & in need of replacement, everything else about this set- including the use of space and how you end the game is quirky, novel & super fun! Budapest exposed us to a raft of experiences & set build ideas which are unparalleled in anything we have experienced elsewhere & the last part of this room certainly fits that description. This felt like an experience rather than just a bog standard escape room and got better & better as it progressed. The staff were lovely too.

    The set for this is amazing & it’s in my top 10 rooms of all time. They make really good use of the space available & it’s well decorated with puzzles that are bang on for the theme. Language wasn’t a barrier & although there was some climbing about, it wasn’t overly physically exerting. There’s a rush scenario near the end to chivvy you along & which provides a bit of extra drama & excitement, and will add to the challenge no matter what team size you have. Any more than 4 would probably struggle to fit in here, but this was great for a pair & would easily fit 3.

    This was totally different to any game we’d played before & has a unique & exciting way of getting from 1 part of the room to another. Top notch, but wear comfy clothing which you can easily move about in as there are physical elements to this room which you wouldn’t necessarily expect in advance. The set was beautifully decorated & stretched us working through it as a pair, but the experience was utterly enjoyable throughout.

    This room was great until the end when you escape through a secret exit…into a bright lighted corridor which somewhat ruins the moment. Great set other than that, fun story & good for parking.

    This was a wow factor game & the fact that we didn’t escape did not spoil an amazing experience. This isn’t a big room but every inch of it is used to make this a brilliant experience. We did this room as a pair & were rushed off our feet trying to do everything quickly enough & were 1 puzzle short of escaping- though I know it has been completed by other pairs. This room uses technology as well as good old fashioned puzzles, lots of locks & a couple of jump scares to give an hour or so of entertaining fun which has remained within our top 10 rooms.

    The strangest part of this was that my watch said we’d run out of time, when their clock didn’t! Part of this room is done in the dark and you need good communication between players to achieve your goal. Great fun.

    Really strong theme & superb decor. If you like Harry Potter or wizardry themes this is for you! Totally different to the Witchcraft & Wizardry room at Escape Skeg, so don’t be out off if you’ve done that one, there’s still plenty of new stuff to experience here. You’ll need keen observational skills, to do some searching & basic maths.
