Great theming and set design, all of the puzzles were logical with a good range of difficulty. The puzzles flowed naturally even though the structure was non linear. The staff were all incredibly friendly, always up for a laugh and make you feel welcome.

Family of 5 (3 teenagers) tackled the Space Academy Room - would definitely recommend at least 4 people for this room although would be possible with less. The theming was well done and it definitely made us work as part of a team testing our communication skills! A good techy room but fairly linear in bits. We all thoroughly enjoyed it although all had different "favourite" puzzles!

Such a fun experience! The game master was welcoming and exciting, which start the room off on a fun note. The room itself was challenging, but we managed to barely escape with 2 people. 4 people would be ideal - more than that I think it’d be too crowded. Also apparently the escape rooms are dog friendly! They even have a doggie leaderboard!

The escape room is tricky to find. We found it by going to the Royal Dick Bar and then going west to the alley.
