The staff behind Bewilder Box are the best I've come across. The enthusiasm and character development is brilliant, and very immersive.

Fantastic Room with a Fantastic Host! D.A.V.E was a real treat throughout and i'll miss little Norman. Beautifully designed with a good distribution between logical and physical puzzles.

Had a great GM (Doctor Boffin), beautiful set dressing, great puzzles. Bar one minor issue with something not working quite as it should, we had a lovely time - plenty to do in the time frame, and some very geeky enjoyable moments included. Plus you can take your pint in with you! Do this one after their other game otherwise the time frame won't make sense (you could still play, but it would be a shame to miss out on this aspect).

Quite a small game. Host made up for game being a bit bland. Odd setting in a pub.

Reviews by escape room review sites

There must be a great deal of pressure in coming up with a sequel to a game as well-known as the first Bewilder Box room, finding ways to live up to expectations and to do something new without losing what made the original work so well. Judgement D.A.V.E. hits it out of the park.

The storyline brings you back to the same fictional institute - although note that the real-world location is a different pub, this time out in Hove some distance from Brighton centre. Having proved yourselves in the ...

A thoroughly enjoyable experience with humour, strong characters, fun sci-fi decoration and good puzzles. A room that manages to appeal to enthusiasts with stronger-than-average puzzles and first-timers with calm-inducing humour, plus a cluing system that feel like it's just part of the experience.

The rooms at The Bewilder Box are more than just escape rooms, they are experiences where everything works together to immerse you in their world. Each time you think you know what to expect they do something different, wonderful, and unexpected.

We head to an escape room above The Brunswick pub in Brighton to stop a rogue artificial intelligence from escaping.
