Social Escape Rooms are our favourite. They have so many clues and puzzles to solve in all their rooms. Ransom was fun with some really clever ideas and clues. Every single room at Social Escape Rooms has been amazing! We are so sad to have finished them all and can’t wait for a new one to be released! We highly recommend ALL of Social Escape Rooms! They are literally the best!!!

This is an exceptional room. There design of all puzzles has clearly had a tremendous amount of thought put into them. All puzzles with engaging, fun and relevant. The creativity used to create this room, made it a pleasure to play. The owner was very friendly and it was a pleasure to meet and chat to him about his business.

8/10, this was a really cool and immersive room.

Another awesome room at social, the puzzles are the main highlight in the room, and the start to the room was something I’ve never seen before

We absolutely loved the way Ransom unofficially began—it was such a unique and creative touch that set the perfect tone for the adventure ahead. While the experience is largely non-linear, there were a few bottleneck moments where we had to regroup, which provided opportunities for us to collaborate even more closely. The theming and props were top-notch, with every puzzle feeling logical and seamlessly integrated into the space. The room itself was visually impressive, showcasing great attention to detail in its design and layout. Ransom’s standout feature is undoubtedly its puzzles and game flow. With just the two of us, we were constantly on the move, working to solve a wide variety of challenges within the 60-minute time limit.

Our first visit to Social Escape was a great one! Ransom has a really cool beginning and a lot of cool and engaging puzzles. We were a little worried about the difficulty but ended up crushing it in under 38 minutes. The atmosphere and immersion could be a little stronger but we can't deny that it's a ton of fun. Will definitely be back to do the rest of their rooms.

Completed this room in a group of 2. Very immersive and gameplay flowed well. A variety of creative and interesting puzzles and the decor and set worked well to contribute to the puzzles. Very interesting start and some fun surprises in the room. Really enjoyed this room overall, would definitely recommend!

Social escape put a lot of love and passion in to their rooms. I really loved this room as did our group. Lots of cool props and some unexpected surprises I did not see coming. Again highly recommend social escape.
