Our 2nd visit to The Escaporium and we were glad that we did. A really well themed rooms, puzzles were also very much on point/topic. A few tricky ones but we made it in record time! Would highly recommend!

Great theming and good use of props. Some puzzles I’ve not seen before which is hard for enthusiasts! Brush up your observations skills for this - loved every minute of this!

We loved the this room. Lots to do and some lovely original puzzles. We managed to escape with seconds to spare. Lovely venue with great hosting. Highly recommended if you are in the area.

cleverstory-drivengreat hostingquite difficult

Not sure I have ever been in a room with so many puzzles. Observation skills are key.

To be honest there was too much to do as a team of 2 but the host was brilliant and dragged us through to the end. Throwing the hints at us that were the perfect level to get us through but not ruin the aha moments.

Would loved to have spent more time in there, would have happily paid a bit more for an extra 15 (or maybe even 30) minutes

Reviews by escape room review sites

Although driving to Halifax and back took out precious time from a packed schedule of escape games in and around Leeds, I'd heard enough recommendations for The Escaporium that I was keen to squeeze them in; and the owners were kind enough to let us play at a non-standard start time to make everything fit. (When visiting, note that their two games are in different locations, though the distance between is not far.)

Operation Moonshine is set in the Prohibition; your team are gangsters, breaking...

An engaging Prohibition-themed room, with beautiful decorations, a magnificent centrepiece and puzzles that held my interest right till the end of the game.
Operation Moonshine was a lovely game with solid puzzles and a set that felt ‘right’. It’s a game that starts off small but soon opens up into a larger space with an abundance of puzzles.

A wonderfully themed historic game, packed with puzzles and surprises that keep you engrossed throughout. An absolutely brilliant game.
