Alan was always someone we could rely on, he’d be at work super early every shift, was always happy to stay late if we needed him to, and if you could look past his obsession with pirates then he seemed like a very normal guy. Unfortunately, he’s not turned up for work two days in a row and he isn’t returning our calls, and we suspect he’s responsible for a very important manual going missing. We think it’s our duty as responsible employers to do something …so we want to ask you for a favour

From reading other reviews, it seems that this ch-alan-ge is not to everybody's taste: personally, we could have a gallon of Alan.For a team of two, there's a stack to do and we were chuffed to get out in under 40 minutes. It's a physical game with some tight spaces and some excellent twists on the piratical theme that gave us a good chuckle but we had a fantastic time in here.Lighting can be a problem in here and I found myself wishing I was wearing headtorch at times so be forewarned if you find working in low light difficult - it's suitably atmospheric and really adds to the immersion but it does make seeing those pesky padlock numbers more difficult!

The space has been used perfectly in the game. There are some really original parts/puzzles which I thoroughly enjoyed.

Make sure you have someone on your team who is happy to fit in a small space. 

This is quite a large game but the puzzles are very achievable.

Reviews by escape room review sites

Of Unescapable’s games, Alan gives away the fewest clues to its theme - something about finding a missing employee? But there are enough subtle and not so subtle hints in the website details that I don’t think I’m giving anything away by saying this is a pirate themed room - though that might not be obvious when the game begins.

This is a game of two halves, and while I’d expect the second half to provide the highlights for most players, I really liked the build up provided by the earlier secti...

A pirate themed room, but not as you know it. Surprise awaits you when you enter this room, and then you’re taken on a wonderful journey as the story develops.
