Set in an actual cave, the puzzles fit the story really well and were very challenging. Greatly enjoyed, but not for newcomers!

I've waxed lyrical about their other room, CarFax, before but this takes those high standards and builds on them. Theming is appropriate, there is a great mix of puzzles and a lot of tech, but this is a hard room, Cave Escape will let you run as a 2 but the minimum recommended is a 3 and I can see why, if we'd had a third person we would have got out but there is a lot to get through.

An outstanding, ambitious and immersive WW2 themed room. A commendable variety of puzzles, this enjoyable experience was clearly made with love, incredible hosting too!

Such a great use of space, being built into the caves, one of the coolest escape rooms we have done.

Projections we're used to enhance story telling, while the caves add to the atmosphere (though they do make it quite cold)

We are an experienced team of 2, and we could not get through all the puzzles, especially as your team will need to split up

Superb room. Excellent setting with perfectly themed, unique puzzles and amazing use of the caves. Really fun, lots to do and a real sense of accomplishment if you get out. Really good host, in character and clever nudges. A very good room, highly recommended

This was such a unique experience! A very non-linear game which I’m usually not a fan of but this was so fun. They usually recommend a team of 3 for this room, but you can attempt as a team of 2 if you’re more experienced. We did it as a team of 2 and escaped with a few minutes to spare. Our GM, Phoebe was incredible! The clue system is awesome!

This was just FANTASTIC. Phoebe especially made this memorable and fun for us. As a party of two, it can be tricky if you’re not well versed in escape rooms. Love the clue system and how the game is non-linear. Very, very well done!

One of my favourite rooms to date! Stunning atmosphere with a good storyline. Very cool props too! Can't wait to try the other rooms from Cave Escape.

Love love loved this room. From the natural setting, to the based on real events storyline, to the class act of a GM.
Atmosphere
Brilliant! Though it was hard to tell what was ok not to tinker with 😂
Customer service
What a lovely person! Very helpful but let us get on with it. Had fun with us too.

An escape room in a cave! What more can you want? Not a damp cave though. The set is quite something and this room is a fair challenge as a group of two so I wouldn’t recommend it unless you are semi experienced. There is an element of a tight space for one of the team and so choose wisely and eat lots of carrots beforehand. You’ll know why when you’ve done the room!
