CREW

A team challenge puzzle experience - wanted to try something different (not an escape room). The concept is great and the mechanics behind it all are fantastic - a great creative well-designed project. Team of 4 fairly intelligent logical people (!) but got stuck a few times. So, definitely an expect a challenge! But in a good way. Just don’t expect to nail everything. Relies heavily on teamwork so stay calm and patient with your team! Go give it a try.

Amazing gameplay, so unique. Great themeing and execution. A wonderful experience.

I had so much fun playing this game! It did a great job of simulating what it might be like to work on a spaceship, and how you have coordinate with your crew to face issues as they arise. I definitely wouldn’t classify this as an ‘escape room’, but that’s not meant in a negative way at all! It’s certainly no less thrilling. CREW is an immersive experience that focuses heavily on collaborative activities that require effective communication and teamwork. Each team member takes on a different role (Captain, Pilot, Tactician or Engineer) and takes turns to lead the team in key challenges. There are core challenges which require the whole team to work together, and individual tasks to be completed by each role for extra bonus points. Successfully completing a challenge adds points to the score board, with the aim to score as many points as possible to pass the ‘crew assessment’ phase. Once you’ve hit this, you can continue to level up as much as you can before the time runs out. Failure of tasks might incur penalties, where successfully completing a streak of tasks may boost your points further. The expanded playtime incorporates a sizeable training module at the start, so you won’t be thrown completely into the deep end! I was in awe of the sheer technological genius, with so much going on throughout the game. The theming is a little low-tech, and could be massively improved with a couple of small changes (i.e. the wall covering) that would bring it up to standard with the other rooms. Sci-fi fans will love finding hidden references, which also include some audio ones too! Overall this is a very unique experience that I’d love to return to again in future. Once you get over the initial learning curve, you can really get into the flow! It won’t be for everyone, but if you love team-based challenges, and all things space/sci-fi, I think you’ll have a lot of fun.

Great venue, room is amazing and very well looked after. Everything is clean and looks brand new. Any room created here by Alex would be well worth a visit.

This is a really cool experience - harder than I thought it would be high was a nice surprise - there were parts that really test the noggin. We played as a two so had to take over some of the other roles which was fun, but more challenging. It’s a different concept from other escape rooms and is prefect for team building for small teams where communication and attention to detail is key. It’s clear that husband and I need to work on reading details and improving our specificity of instructions. The point scoring system and replayability factor makes this experience more unique than most - would definitely recommend. Excellent hosting by Alex, and as other reviews have mentioned - the bathrooms are outstanding - make sure you peak into both.

I really liked this but I will admit to being very hesitant as I thought it would be less immersive and less fun than it was! However, it was full of very clever team work puzzles and it flowed really well. The points scoring is such a good idea! Annnddddd it says closed on Morty- it’s very much open! Ooooo and the toilets are great too- fabulous designs!!!

Loved this experience. It’s very tech heavy and they have done an amazing job of creating collaborative challenges. It is not your traditional escape room format, but is all the better for that. Your ultimate objective is to achieve the highest score. You get the full 75 minutes of gameplay regardless of how many challenges you complete. Once you have solved the first 8 challenges (which on our first play took the full 75 minutes) it will generate a new set of parameters and you cycle through the games again (with different solutions). A unique experience and one you can replay. A great concept beautifully executed. Special tip. Make sure you use both of the toilets whilst you are there. They are brilliantly themed.

as much a video game as an escape room this is the true team test, amazing tech and coordination needed
