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.
Phantom PeakPhantom PeakEscape roomOther Completely unique experience - we as a group of 2 did 4 (of possibly 10?) stories in 4 hours and we didn’t rush the puzzles but did rush around getting from place to place. I’ve got genuine FOMO from not getting to do the others as you see bits of them as you go and they all look as good as each other. Don’t feel silly, just go for it and you’ll have fun! The food and drink was good and the actors absolutely spot on and talented.
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.
Glitch Hunters [Outdoor]clueQuestEscape roomOther The clues just got a bit samey after a while. Would recommend this more for a tourist than a local, as they could head in pubs along the way and discover the area.
