Impressive tech and set, some theatrical and some wow moments! Only criticism: a little too many of the same style of puzzle.

Wow.  Quite simply one of the best rooms I have ever played, from theming to puzzle design to reveals.  The space may be limited but everything is so cleverly done and you can see the thought that has gone into it.  The story is coupled with some brilliant atmospheric events and has more than a trace of humour and at time moments of sheer magic.  I’d love to say more but its one of the few rooms I wish I could forget all about it and just go and play it again.

Wow wow WOW! We had big expectations for this room after reading the glowing reviews on here and we were still absolutely blown away. The craftspersonship that has gone into this room is just incredible! An extremely immersive game with lots of magical surprises and incredible moments along the way. All of the puzzles were perfectly on theme and extremely fun to solve. The final 10 mins of this game was one of my favourite escape room experiences of all time. I could not recommend more, this room is an absolute must-play! We travelled 4 hours to get to Disley just for this (and the Lost Tomb) and it was well worth it! Simply stunning.

Wow! We still talk about this room months later.

 Fantastic theming, incredible games host and what a finale! 

This game is absolutely well worth playing, and it’ll be clear once you’ve played it why it receives such glowing reviews.

This went straight into my top 3 rooms, it’s so clever, beautiful and flows so well. We had the best time, such a clever concept and use of space building up to the epic finale. A must do room for any enthusiast.

A perfect example of how to effectively make a single room game. Theme is amazing and puzzles are clever and well-integrated into the fantastic set. Really enjoyed the finale to the game and the moments of humour sprinkled throughout. Best game at Extremescape and all round a fantastic room

Reviews by escape room review sites

The team behind Extremescape have done it again, delivering a beautiful set with engaging puzzles and fantastic moments of theatre. I was a little worried that they'd struggle to improve on their previous two games, but they absolutely have - coming up with plenty of new ideas to keep their loyal customers happy and putting even more polish into the experience.
Despite struggling with this room (we were tired), we absolutely loved it. From the start to the incredible ending, this game had everything and more. This room is a real gem in the escape room industry and must be played by everyone.

Overall we had a fantastic time, and the experience continued after we left the room. We spent quite a while talking to the owners and had plenty of cuddles with the resident dog (who is a rather large, but beautiful, Rottweiler-style boy).  It’s obvious the passion that has gone into these rooms, and it’s well worth the visit.

A very clever and immersive room that all comes together so well. Fantastic range of puzzles and really friendly owners! 

Extremescape have created another truly immersive experience. There is a reason they are seen as one of the best in the business because every minute you play their games they are a joy. They could have easily kept this as a 60 minute game but the additional 15 minutes gives you just enough time to take in the visual feast that is such an amazing game.
