THIS EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN UPGRADED IN JANUARY 2023. 

1967, Location: [CLASSIFIED]

Civilians are going missing. Rumour has it that they are being experimented on at an abandoned soviet facility. Anyone who points the blame on the higher ups vanishes the next day, now you’re next up to disappear from society. Lucky for you though, your captor has other plans. Go along with it, and help them expose the authorities before you become just another disappearance.

A solid room, some crafty puzzles and locks. Nice theming and a very reliable room by Hounds. Great hosts.

This is a very good game, fun to play, some really good puzzles and excellent theme, the GM stays in character for the whole experience and are great fun too, chatting to them after they are really enthusiastic about escaping in general and that enthusiasm shows through in the quality of their games.

A really detailed briefing from our "kidnapper" and a very clever use of space. Brilliant puzzles all well in keeping, great styling and overall an amazing venue!

Right from the moment you open the front door Hounds shows just how serious an operation it is.  An amazing waiting room and check in area, great characterisation from the GM and a great room with lots of new puzzles and a brilliant variety of things to get your head around.  Found it a bit harder than Southern Discomfort but both were great.

Reviews by escape room review sites

You can’t always judge a company by its lobby area, but it’s always an encouraging start to walk into a venue that looks atmospheric, stylish and welcoming. Hounds Escape not only did well on that initial impression, but then built on it with their pre-game briefings, which for both this and their other game were humorously and energetically delivered in character.

For Questionable Ethics, our host was wild-eyed and Russian, and stuck to his role with gusto before, during and after our game. Th...

Hounds Escape have managed to take everything that I’ve loved about other venues I’ve visited and games I’ve played and put them all under one roof. Questionable Ethics is a superb game
As far as the plot goes, it probably is best to go in blind (as well as blindfolded) – suffice to say that the scientific study is probably not meeting health-and-safety regulations, 
Crawley is infamous among scare enthusiats for one reason, Shocktoberfest, but it appears to have more going for it than I first thought. Enter Hounds Escape Room. Located in the heart of Crawley town centre this escape room company is fairly new to the scene but everywhere is giving it rave reviews, so of course we had to go and check it out for ourselves. We booked both their rooms for the same day and up first was Questionable Ethics.

An unmissable game which we loved playing. Hounds Escape Experiences are competing with the best of the best and holding their own. A fantastic game which is a must play!
