West Virginia, 1992 Dwayne O’Donnell’s gang rules the Southern States, known for his fast bikes and sweet moonshine, but some family drama means he ain’t sharing the goods no more. Desperate for a taste of Dwayne's legendary hooch, your host plans a break-in. Just hope it doesn't become a break-OUT…

Absolutely superb space, brilliant theming, clever split start and a superbly dramatic ending. GM was brilliant, funny and engaging, just such fun and we only needed one hint half way. Didn't want to leave this world! Hounds is amazing all over!

Very cool concept, with a good ending, I also enjoyed being seperated at the beginning, it created a good dynamic. However you could tell they were actors over GMs, in someways it added to the atmosphere but it lost the human element and felt to rehearsed. I didn't like the clue system where you didn't request clues they were just given meaning they were given too early.

This was our last of the hounds rooms and experiences which is sad as we enjoyed them all a lot. You can tell they put a lot of effort (and money) into the theming / decor of the rooms. This room seams to grow as you go through and there are lots of new things to discover to go along with the story along with a lot of puzzles to solve. I forgot to review this straight away so don’t remember all the puzzles but the ones I do remember were really fun. We found all the hounds rooms a nice level of difficulty, they challenged us but we never felt like we didn’t know what to do or what the puzzle was supposed to be.

Loads of fun! Our host was brilliant, shame we didn’t catch his real name! Fun puzzles and a brilliant end set piece!

A really interesting bit of theming which puts you straight in the heart of the states. A unique set of puzzles which lead up to an amazing big finish. As always with Hounds, the hosts were amazing and the acting belongs on a west end stage show, the talent is incredible. Another room if you’re in the area you should do, and if you’re not… then travel to do it!

Of the three rooms this was our least favourite, but it is still worth playing and better than most in the UK Hounds offer one of the most immersive experiences in the UK, too quality set design, dynamic and varied puzzles, plus fun interactions with GMs who each play a unique character

Good room. Out of the three at the venue this was our least favourite although it was still worth doing! The start was great and the end was good fun, the middle bit not as much

Southern Dis-comfort gave us the most fun we have had in an escape room for a very long time and we’re sure it will be a while until we laugh as much in a game again. This room offers everything to completely round off the escape experience – total immersion, a brilliant game master and a well designed and challenging set of puzzles that culminate in a nerve wrecking climax. We thought Questionable Ethics was great and on leaving we were asked which we preferred. Two very different rooms at one venue but both delivered superbly. For us, Southern Dis-Comfort just pips it. Hands down one of the best rooms we have had the pleasure of playing. It was a record board score for us which we are chuffed with!

Fantastic theming, great story and puzzles. Our GM, David, is the best in character host we’ve ever had. This room is a must play!
