Really immersive and fun room - totally bonkers as well (not to the level of Shrewsbury Express but still some of the most fun hosting I've ever seen). Great mix of puzzles as well.

If you love escape rooms, you have to try these! The game hosts are amazing, and the room exceeded our expectations. The aesthetics are fantastic, and the experience is incredibly immersive. We absolutely loved the WW2 escape room—the theming was outstanding, and the puzzles were seamlessly tied to the story, making it a great challenge for a two-person team. A truly unforgettable experience! Plus, it's easy to find, right in the heart of Shrewsbury's Darwin Shopping Centre—conveniently located and perfect for a fun day out!

Was a really good and fun escape room, the staff were really nice. Can be challenging in places, may have not escaped but did get very close. I would definitely recommend.

I used trains to get to it but I know it can be somewhat difficult to park in Shrewsbury.
