Mark as done to rate

It’s 1945 and the Air Commodores at RAF Tangmere have secured a barrel of ale of the highest quality, which they shipped in secretly last night under the cover of darkness. Whilst they are planning a jolly good knees-up for the senior officers, you and the rest of the squadron face an austere Victory Day celebration. But the Air Commodores have been called away to Sector Control and there’s a window of opportunity to break in, find the stash and roll out the barrel!

Really fantastic game - some good puzzles and happily my son is now at an age where he can do a bunch of adult level puzzles on his own (and arguably quicker than me) as there is a lot to do and much can be done in parallel.

A fun and unique premise. This is a gen-1 game that plays nonlinear and is packed with riddles. Puzzles are thematic but not particularly linked to any kind of story .

I've done a lot of Escape rooms and this is one of my favourites. Excellently designed difficult and fun puzzles felt pretty original. We needed some extra time to finish. Great times

This room is charmingly lowtech, but any escape room themed after breaking into the officer's club to steal beer is a winner in my book. Lots of creative puzzles, all mechanical, in a slightly cramped space. Note that if you did Battle for Britain in EscapePlan's previous locale, some of the puzzles from that room have a new room in Roll Out the Barrel, but there are lots of new challenges as well.

Some really novel puzzles we have not seen before, a very tactile room

Gameplay

I really enjoyed that all locks were labelled so puzzle flow was not interrupted. Not much finding keys for locks but actual puzzels

I loved that the staff noted your names down and spoke to you by name, felt very personalised

Accessibility

There was a section you had to climb through a window but once a team member was through they could open the door and let you through without a break in the atmosphere

It is in the cinema, don't question yourself. No outside signs but email instructions are clear

While visiting London I jumped into the enthusiast community and was able to play a game set during the aftermath of World War II when the Allied soldiers were ready to celebrate with a few barrels of the good stuff. The puzzles made sense, the game is probably best with 2-4 players because of space and I worried about the fragility of the components. Treat the pieces carefully and kindly.

  • Roll out the Barrel was a fantastically fun room

    The Escape Roomer
  • Puzzles were logical, the room was fun to be in, the ending was strong and the hosting was spot-on.

    Review the Room
