Escape Nation: The Citadel

#58

Another great immersive room, lots of puzzles and a wide variety of them. The set decoration is fab too, 10/10 quality. Lots of padlocks but they go unnoticed, even you’re not a fan of them, you’ll still love this.

A truly great room for those who are fans of tech 🙂 we had an absolute blast.

Challenging enough without being too much.

Booked last minute and had an amazing time playing. The theme and set is fantastic, with some great props and atmospheric soundtrack. Puzzles were great and forced some out of the box thinking, plus were really well signposted. This venue have a wonderful feature that ensures you are solving a puzzle correctly without asking for a hint. Our GM was great and really chatty. Overall, a fantastic game that should be on the wishlist for any enthusiast! 

My favourite of the two at this venue. I am usually a bit wary of Sci-Fi themed games because of the type of puzzles that are regularly involved. In this game, however, I was completely  won over by the flow of the game and the massive variety of puzzle types used throughout. It definitely felt immersive, fun and the puzzles were all logical. The kind of game an experienced team could quite easily get through without any hints and still feel accomplished at the end. Fantastic! My favourite Science Fiction themed game I've played to date!

Excellent range of logical well-signposted puzzles, mostly non-linear with plenty to do. Great mix of tech and padlocks which all worked perfectly. Great hosting.

Didn’t need any hints and got out with plenty of time to spare but still felt challenged throughout. Highly recommended

This was amazing!! Get the admin out the way: The tech worked and the staff are lovely. The hints system is great and you can dictate it. The majority of puzzles were padlocks, but each puzzle was weaved into the story.

This was possibly the best room I've ever done. I think the story was so successfully tied to the theme and story that this makes for a great first escape room. If you've never done an escape room before, this one will make sense to you. You'll feel like you're in a movie!

If you're an experienced player, I still think you'll love this room. Even if padlocks aren't your thing, please trust me. This is interesting enough to get over that. And most importantly, from experience, it's well kept and works!!

A lot of other escapes we've done could learn a lot from these guys. This is the standard!!

This is one of the best rooms we’ve played.  Very varied, loads of puzzles that kept you occupied for the whole hour.  

I really nice game, a great array of puzzles which were intuitive, varied, and well thought out.

First room of our 11 room stint and it was a great start. The room just made sense and flowed so well. It’s non linear setup plays to our strengths as a group of 4. No hints needed which shows how well the experience has been constructed. Great owners. Definitely recommend seeking out. 

A really fun room. Great hosting. Just about managed to escape with seconds remaining. Recommended if in the area. 

Fantastic! A little harder than their other room with plenty to do - a lot of non-linear puzzles so players could crack on with different things and always have something to do. Great hosting and clue system, and a nice mix of locks and more hi tech puzzles. Excellently themed and fantastically designed, loved it!

Excellent hosts. A great mix of puzzles and tech. Great set and design. Really enjoyed it!! 

Another great game from these guys! Clever use of space and some lovely puzzles - Absolutely recommend if you're in Stafford. 

Such a fantastic hi-tech room with a clever combination of traditional escape room elements and technology. The hosts here are absolutely lovely and made us feel incredibly welcome. The puzzles were well thought out and numerous, while the actual gameplay had us running around everywhere. A really class act.

From the second the game began (an unusual start too) we were fully immersed. The feel of the room, the vibe, the atmosphere, the thumbing and story all grabbed us and we instantly knew this would be a great game. 

Their innovative hint system played into the theme of the room really well and everything flowed so well. The room felt really interactive and the puzzles not too challenging to the point of frustration. There was so much technology in here with so many innovate puzzles and concepts it totally blew us away.

The GMs were second to none. Both lads very warm and friendly and you could clearly tell that they both love escape rooms. A lot of work has gone into this room and it's quickly become my number one escape room. I would HIGHLY recommend this room to anyone
