This has to be probably my most favourite room, and the start of the experience is actually so interesting. Probably not great with a partner who has the hearing and eyesight of a blind and deaf dog who hates you, but that’s okay. We got there. Room was missing a pretty important key, but yolo. Because of a few hiccups, we did not escape (our first one! Tragic). The clues were all super appropriate and made sense. I think it would be more suitable as a slightly longer time, but appreciate that most are only 60 minutes long. This was honestly so good and probably my #1 favourite room now.

Gameplay

This was such an exciting experience, and so unlike any other escape room we’ve done before. It was fun, it flowed well, it was such an experience.

Atmosphere

The set for this room was next level! From the cells, the use of props to assist with escape, to the overall flow of rooms. It was absolutely insane. Very clear that there has been so much time spent here.

Customer service

The GM on arrival was welcoming, and staff were great.

Particularly interesting or different

Yes

It was insane! It was so different. Unique. Next level. I enjoyed. 10/10 recommend.

Story

It was a prison escape with the most insane twist. I loved it.

Difficulty

Expert

This room was HARD AF. Not for those who haven’t done escape rooms before. It was very challenging. 60 minutes for a team of 2 is not something I’d recommend.

It was mostly mechanical.

This room is really not great for 2 people. It was very challenging, but would be so much easier with at least 4 people.

A very solid escape room! There was a good mix of standard logic puzzles and more unique ones that we hadn’t seen before. I particularly enjoyed the flow of the puzzles, you never had too many outstanding puzzles that were overwhelming you on what went where. The main critique is that there is a lack of story, but other than that, it was enjoyable and fun :)

A very immersive room with a good combination of physical and thinking puzzles. A great escape room & better than other jail themed rooms that I have done. Being underground made it feel more realistic.

Gameplay

Good combo of physical & thinking puzzles that were aligned with the scenario.

Atmosphere

Very immersive. The rooms were set up like a gaol. Being underground added to the feeling.

Another great room from Adventure Rooms. Started off separated and needed to use teamwork to help each other reunite which was different and fun, great variety of puzzles, were able to get through the room without a clue as it all flowed really well and all made sense, looking forward to trying the rest of their rooms.

Game was enjoyable. It’s a classical gaol break style game. Nothing particularly too challenging. Great game to play with kids

Completed with a group of 2. Really enjoyed this room, it had a good range of puzzles with some unique ones and during a certain part required coordinated cooperation to complete. We needed a couple of hints to help us along the way, and we finished just in time with a couple of seconds to spare. It was a really enjoyable experience, highly recommend!

A super classic escape room start to finish from the jailbreak theme down to the distinct lack of story and abundance of locks. This room was a good time and fit well with the basement space it was built in. The owners have done well to incorporate these things instead of trying to get rid of them. Some tricky hide and find type puzzles fit well within the jail theme whilst others seemed to be there just to throw us off track. A bunch of puzzles to work through and a bunch of fun.

Hidden down a little alley, keep your eyes peeled for the Adventure Rooms sign.
