Puzzled Escape Rooms

  • Escape room

It was a different escape experience to our usual fare - combining a tabletop escape game with all the tech, personalisation and wizardry you'd expect from PuzzledUK's rooms. The chance to play an escape room while sitting down was a nice bonus too! I was really impressed with the tech that was packed in a relatively small set of props, and the puzzles tickled all the right parts of my brain. It was like playing "Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes" in real life, but with a banging synthwave soundtrack and Blade Runner -esque visuals to enjoy over the top. And access to drinks while we played was a nice touch. We saved the world with 16:13 left on the clock, and with a score of nearly 25K to boot. Currently the record holders 😉 It was great fun, and a more unique take on the game that I've not seen before.

This had everything I could ask for in an escape room - fun puzzles, secret surprises, an opportunity to dress up and dance, character interaction, and a ton of treasure. The set packs in a lot of content over a relatively small area, with enough spaces opening throughout the game to let players breathe. Nothing was particularly difficult, but there was enough there to keep us going for the entire game without stepping on eachother's toes. There's a satisfying narrative throughline that ties everything together and makes for some very fun moments. I bloody loved it!
