Mr Cooper loves Gnomes and his favorite one is called Arthur. Some people, or as Mr Cooper calls them 'ruffians', keep stealing Arthur and taking him on holiday. They even have the cheek to send back pictures and postcards of him! So Mr Cooper has hidden Arthur away and protected him with some cunning puzzles. However, what Mr Cooper doesn't realise is Arthur loved his holidays and he misses them. Can you help Arthur get a way from it all?

One of these rooms you wish you had played in real life. The telescape platform worked well for this, but some moments you just wish you had been there for. A bit of magic in those.
The flow of puzzles were great. Most were easy so you felt like you were moving all the time. It was VERY lock-based and that is ok with us.
The theme made it very light-hearted and at times funny. We did spot an error in one puzzle, we think, but it was easy to correct and the right puzzle solution was difficult to get wrong, since this was only a small part.

A really good fun escape room - and a good representation online of a real life room. Good mix of puzzles and kept four of us amused through out. Needed to switch into four separate laptops to allow us all to concentrate but worked really well when we did.
Brilliant with kids. It was brightly lit and there was nothing scary. The multi-threaded nature of the puzzles kept us all busy, and there were different puzzles at different levels, e.g. our 6 year old could be getting on with finding pieces for one puzzle while our 9 year old was solving something a bit more complicated, and some for the adults too. It was relaxed enough that we had time to help the kids, where required.
Genuinely had a blast playing this colourful, charming, whimsical and game. Families with younger kids will love this (I'm forty something and loved it).

One of our all time favourite rooms. We did it a while ago but it was just simply fun! The puzzles are not overly challenging so families will definitely enjoy.
A real gem of a room if youre looking for a fun time
A great, silly and light-hearted game suitable for everyone. There's so many different puzzle types in this game which means everyone can get involved in some way. There is also a bonus level for enthusiasts should you finish early.
Some really novel ideas that fit perfectly with the theme - we all left smiling after playing which is the signs of a good game!

A delightful place to be, in a garden full of gnomes and a talking dog. Loads of puzzles of many different types, with some really lovely physical components, things to move and play with. Kids would love this room.

The perfect game to end our visit to Top Escape Rooms, No Place Like Gnome was fun from start to end and was a beautifully assembled room with a lighthearted and family friendly feel to it.
