We set a new record for this room so my review is slightly biased but the puzzles flowed beautifully and all made sense to the storyline. I loved the way the room was set up and there was one specific puzzle involving a lense that was incredibly designed and not something we had ever seen before.

Another great room. The room isn’t huge and we managed to escape with a lot of time to spare as a group of 2, but it was still a fun room with a mixture of tech and classic lock puzzles and teamwork needed to solve some of the clues and being in different parts of the room. Everything flowed together very well which was a feature of all the rooms we did at compendium

This is another good game from this excellent venue. Really passionate staff throughout and you have a dedicated GM for your game which we like for timely, accurate hints which we often need. Great atmosphere with on theme puzzles.

Another great room from these guys. I would say slightly easier than their other rooms and not a very big space for more than 3 people.

This was a more ‘standard’ escape game. The set dressing was great throughout though and was a really fun room. Whilst we flew through this room quickly it didn’t feel like it and we enjoyed it. Believe we may have gotten the room record on this too.

A clever use of the space to create an immersive mental asylum escape room with some decent puzzles too. Brilliant hosting from Alex as always

This room has a lot more packed into a small space and requires at least one member of the team to crawl through a tight space on multiple occasions. Requires a keen eye at times to spot the clues but a really enjoyable room. We did this as a group of two but you would probably struggle in terms of space for more than four people at the same time. Not scary, no jump scares, and no live actor.
