Really enjoyable concept with a main, more conventional escape room with an additional collector-style task added in If you like a challenge, this will definitely be up your street! Fun tasks, great room and friendly team

Fantastic experience. I do love games that have side objectives. We scored 36, just missing out on one more gold and two silver. I tend to dawdle along in escape rooms to avoid escaping too soon but this game kept us busy right down to the last minute. Would recommend it for newbies and experts alike.

Loved it! Such a variety of puzzles including ones I’ve never seen before, and really fun interactive elements. Really enjoyed collecting the tokens as well as completing the main escape objective. The room was so well designed and you could tell a lot of time and energy had gone into building each element, as it was themed so well. Great friendly hosting, and we enjoyed that the host took us round the room at the end to show us where the tokens were that we’d missed and how to solve the puzzles we’d missed too!

Excellent venue, excellent host and the games are fantastic. This one is different to most, guarantees you spending the full hour and the puzzles are different of varying degrees of difficulty but all achievable. Would certainly be fine for more than two and recommended

This is such a brilliant room! I have done quite a few collection escape rooms now and this is currently my favourite for sure. The puzzles are all super creative and when we found out where certain things were hidden we were amazed! Just a really unique theme and a must do if you are in Birmingham 😁

Really enjoyed the mini puzzle aspect of this room with the added task of collecting gold and silver disks so you really want to use your time wisely. It also encourages you to use the full hour. There is just so much to this room that it works well for both a small group as well as a larger group maxing out on searching for disks. A lot of fun!

This is up there with my favourite games. I love the ‘use the whole hour to get what you can’ style. Everyone’s a winner. That being said, it helps if you slow down and are observant (not usually our strong point!!). We played as a two and I think if we’d gone as a three or four we’d have got all but one/two of the coins. Highly recommend. You could have fun if it was your first or hundredth room.

Gameplay

Loved this. 4 chambers with varied puzzles (mostly small but enough to make you take your time). Bits of communication and a lot of Search and find. The overall ‘escape’ isn’t that challenging but finding the rest of the coins ensures you use your whole hour.

Atmosphere

Set design is great. It’s both simple and distracting at once.

Customer service

Excellent GMing. Very clear that you can’t have clues for puzzles that don’t help You escape. I kinda liked this slant.
