I loved this room (only one I thought was better was Battleships although this was my son's favourite of all of XscapeNow's rooms). Very large, some tougher puzzles and a bit non-linearity albeit not necessarily that well signposted so do remember everything you have done and seen as you go along! it is possible to mess up one bit which would stop you progressing, we didn't but I presume if you did the host would help!

A nice big multi-room set with plenty of puzzles to do, but I think my expectations were set a bit high by online reviews - most puzzles were simple code padlock based, I think I'd expected slightly more tech for a fairly new room

One of the most thrilling and intense escape rooms I've ever experienced. The wild west cowboy train theme was executed to a high standard and the fact we only managed to stop the train with seconds to spare made it even more dramatic. A must play room!

Wow! One of the trickiest rooms we’ve completed so far. It was hard as a two due to the size, but doable. Some good nudges in the right direction. Loved a number of the puzzles, and not come across some of these before. Definitely one of my favourite room I’ve completed so far!

Fantastic use of physical puzzles and some quirky takes on puzzles I’ve seen before.

Amazing! Loved the changes through each carriage and it really is a big space.

Very welcoming, good to chat to with a mix of information and interest.

Liked the change of objective half way through, that was good.
