Mr Copplestone's Curiosity ShoppeEscape Quest United KingdomEscape roomIRLFor a while now we have found that we enjoy rooms that are puzzle focused with a fun storyline and this room is an example of that at its best. Part of what makes this an amazing experience is it’s simplicity, there’s no heavy tech and most things use some kind of padlock, we were truly in our element! The signposting is excellent, we didn’t for a minute have to wonder what went where, this allowed us to focus on the puzzles which were all logical, fun and had no “logic leaps” to get to the answer. And that is without even mentioning the set/theming, it’s amazing! Chapelgate has been done to a really high standard, we were amazed when the door opened and we stepped through onto the street! The shop interiors (depending on which game you do here you can visit different shops I believe!) were all incredible and lined with so many puzzles! And of course the hosting was exceptional, all this made this a truly amazing escape room and possibly our new favourite! We can’t wait to come back when the game next rotates round!
Wickedly OzBreak EscapeEscape roomIRLOur 50th room! We had been following the construction of this one and it really was amazing, such a big variety of puzzles with lots of cool moments accompanied by music, lighting and more! It was just absolutely fun from start to finish, thankyou for making our 50th room an amazing experience!
The Great LoudiniEscapable - Thornes Lane WharfEscape roomIRLWhere to even start, this is possibly one of the best escape room experiences we have ever done!!! The blend of live magic and puzzles is a truly an amazing experience, without spoiling anything there are moments where the magic ties into the puzzles which gives a real wow factor!! All the puzzles were fun and well signposted, the difficulty came from the puzzles themselves rather than trying to find where to go or what to do next. And of course Tom the magician was amazing, he was in character from the very start and maintained it throughout the game, we had some truly amazing moments of fun interaction and several big WOW moments as the magic was performed!
UI-55Compendium Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLReally amazing room with so much to do, everything is accessible from the start and you can just do good puzzle after good puzzle for the full hour! Plus a fun ending which is very unique!
Henry Fortune's House of IllusionEscape Quest United KingdomEscape roomIRLEscape quest and it’s wonderful chapel street are always a delight to return to but we have to say this game out of the four we have played here so far really stood out! Henry fortune is quite a character and we felt an added tension and fun factor to this game compared to others, it was really amazing! Puzzles wise this is very similar to the other games here, an initial quest followed by lots and lots of puzzles to accumulate a score! I really can not recommend this one enough!
OrbitalBreak Escape NottinghamEscape roomIRLWhere to even start! An amazing experience from start to finish and definitely a contender for the best room in Nottingham! Puzzle wise everything is nicely signposted, the enjoyment and difficulty in this room actually comes from solving the puzzles. As a team of two we did find there was a lot to do, but in this kind of room and with our host being brilliant we managed to complete it all with a few minutes to go! Set wise the room looks incredible, truly setting the bar high! We can’t wait to come back for the arcade room when it opens!
CurioEscapologic - NottinghamEscape roomIRLA very well themed room, found the difficulty to be off the charts and the puzzles didn’t really flow. Additionally one puzzle in particular was definitely made with at least 4 players in mind as for 2 players it was a big time waster. We got 2 hints in the full hour despite asking for more and asking for a hint to be repeated we were ignored both times. Our host just felt “off” with us from the start, and felt like they were not paying attention to us in the room! I’d like to finish off by saying that we did two rooms across two days here and our experience in the other room immaterium was much better.
VioletEscapologic - NottinghamEscape roomIRLOur first dip into proper horror rooms and this was just the perfect level of scares for us! With a few spooky effects but nothing to freak out about too much, there’s an awesome creepy atmosphere throughout which makes this game very exciting to play! It’s really immersive throughout a the entire experience and has some really cool puzzles! Although I will mention one puzzle near the end involving a video is quite difficult but our GM was excellent and provided just enough help to solve it on our own! Another excellent Escapologic room!
Wrong TurnCompendium Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLAn amazing room which was highly immersive, scents scenery and everything was on top form! Hints delivered at the right time when needed and overall such a creepy and good room!
ImmateriumEscapologic - NottinghamEscape roomIRLThis room is amazing! Fully immersive, to the point of the floor literally shaking replicating the thrum of the ships engine. The puzzles were clever and all kept in with the theme so none broke immersion. Our host was incredible, controlling the servitor who gave helpful hints when needed! Truly an epic experience! While this didn’t spoil the experience I do feel it’s worth noting that there is no timer so it is hard to get a sense of how well you are progressing/how much time is left. I believe we did get a 10 minute message from our host though!
