The great host really elevated the game. Fun mix of logical, visual and technical puzzles aligned to the theme. Needed a couple of hints to keep us on track but things flowed nicely
Great set, not as much to do as the other rooms here and felt a bit rushed by the GM at times but good fun.
We found ourselves running around quite a lot in this room, as we struggled to make logical patterns between the things we could see and find. Once one or two things clicked into place, we found ourselves running through steps in quite a linear way though. There was a lot to do, which made it fun. Recommend. Room 3 for us!
Great hosting from Mischa AKA James! He made the experience very fun and immersive, lovely interactive room with lots of different tactile puzzles, and some acting thrown in!
Our first room here, the theming is incredible, nice and high tech, lots of new areas to uncover. Great host who stayed in character throughout. We found it a little easy, it would have been nice if there were a few more elements in there to make it last a little longer, particularly in the final area.
In this game we are test subjects for a secret Russian lab. The two GMs (I don't know why they needed two, except for the story line) were excellent, particularly the security guard who kept his act and accent up the whole time we were at Hounds (about 5 hours) including when my partner bumped into him in the toilet. He was genuinely hilarious.The room itself is excellent - some introductory warm up puzzles before you get into the nitty gritty of the game where the story and styling changes. The theming is excellent, the puzzles flow and the ending makes for a nice finale. Hounds really do know how to make a game end with a bit of pace and pizzazz.

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...
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!
