The DomeMama BazookaEscape roomIRLI was extremely excited to play the Dome and worried I was preparing myself for something that couldn't exist, so tried to be realistic about expectations. I would say it therefore met my expectations.. but I must stress that they were high! It was an excellent escape room and I had an amazing time while I was in there - non-stop fun. I had no clue what was going on but I really didn't care. We took the puzzles as they came, and just got stuck in! What I really want to stress is, don't be put off if you are a group of 2! We both got to experience pretty much everything, it wasn't too hard and the game was adapted cleverly when there were puzzles you couldn't normally solve without more people. I actually think we were a good-sized group and I certainly think 6 would've been a bit much. One element of the room didn't work so if rating out of 5 I'd give 4.5. The fantastic host reacted appropriately, by noticing the glitch and moving us on while at the same time reporting the issue so someone could come to fix it ASAP, but I couldn't help but feel disappointed that we didn't get to experience everything and not knowing whether this would have made a difference in whether we escaped. Slightly anti-climactic ending. I echo all comments about the lobby - very fun place I'd happily have spent hours. Love the self-serve bar, and of course the playback of your game at the end - never seen that anywhere else and it's a nice touch.
The Great LoudiniEscapable - Thornes Lane WharfEscape roomIRLWonderful experience, loved every second of it. Lots to do but very rewarding as it isn’t too difficult. Definitely not a beginner room though! Fantastic hosting and magic, clearly done with passion and love.
The Battle for BritainEscape PlanEscape roomIRLHad an absolute blast in this room. There was so much going on at once and everything made complete sense. We needed a lot of help from Sam, partly because we were a twosome and partly because we were just not clicking sometimes (our fault, not the clues’!) and Sam was absolutely amazing, chiming in at exactly the right points and allowing us to experience everything within the time limit.
CarfaxCave EscapeEscape roomIRLFantastic host who gave us completely appropriate hints rather than telling us how to do everything. Loved the room - all made total sense.
Escuela De Magia [Magic School]Island PhobiaEscape roomIRLTruly magical room with lovely nods to our favourite wizarding world. Unique puzzles and great fun.
The Secret of the Leopard PeopleKanyu EscapeEscape roomIRLBeautiful, high tech room with nothing illogical once you’ve figured it out. Lots to do in the time limit so would recommend 3 or 4 people. Felt like clues were coming very fast, understand this was due to our slow start however sometimes we were already in the middle of doing what the clue said to do which put a dampener on a few successes. We escaped but were over the time limit. Really grateful for the host for letting us do that and experience the final element of the game.
The Stolen MagicNorthumberland Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLReally fun but a bit confusing at times e.g. one padlock not reset, previous puzzles seemingly still part there but not fully. Easy difficulty level but lots to do so feels quite rewarding. Certainly has the ‘magical’ feeling
Wake Up!QuestomaticaEscape roomIRLThe room wasn't difficult yet we kicked ourselves every time we missed something - I think that's a sign of a great room. Plenty of surprises, very high-tech and several puzzles I hadn't seen before.
Alice in PuzzlelandEscape Hunt UK - LeedsEscape roomIRLReally fun and clever room with some different puzzles I haven’t seen before. Not too hard but lots to do - recommend for 2. Just good fun!
SAW: The ExperienceThe Path Entertainment Group | SAW: The ExperienceEscape roomIRLI wouldn’t recommend it unfortunately. It was neither scary nor a good escape room, because it tried to be both. I think it should focus on the scare element only. You also don’t get the full experience in one go, but some elements are the same in both experiences which would put me off doing it again.
