I have done a few train rooms before, but this was the first one that was actually shaped like a train. Moving through in the way its laid out makes a lot of sense, and this was the best themed room we have done at this venue. Some original things I had not seen before.
A nice big multi-room set with plenty of puzzles to do, but I think my expectations were set a bit high by online reviews - most puzzles were simple code padlock based, I think I'd expected slightly more tech for a fairly new room

Another excellent room from this company. Brilliantly designed immersive set, particularly the last couple of “rooms”. Got stuck on a couple of puzzles we probably shouldn’t have making it a bit tight at the end.

Yee-ha! This had a lovely big floor plan and was packed with puzzles that were on-theme and enjoyable. If I could add a couple more puzzles, I would, but purely because we were enjoying it so much that it was disappointing when it ended! We love physical puzzles and there were quite a few of these. We also enjoyed some of the twists on some of the usual puzzles we see in escape rooms.
There were no 'what do we do now?' moments because it's all quite instinctive so flowed nicely. A team of two was the perfect number, as it meant we both got to work on everything without feeling crowded.
Very enjoyable and a large space to explore! Due to the large space, at some points the game felt a little bit sparse, it felt like a few more puzzles could have been included. Great host and a fun room!

Wow this was so much fun! After struggling with the first clue (we felt like proper beginners!), we made our way into the main set and were really impressed with how immersive, sprawling and exciting it all was. A vast variety of puzzles, all of which made sense, and best of all the theming of this room was really on point, it felt like we were really on a train! Double thumbs up for this room! Our new personal favourite at XscapeNow.

This room is so, so good! So many moments when we said ‘Ah that’s brilliant’!
Very original with lots of variation on puzzles and a good mix of locks and tech. Played this as a group of 2 with a 12 week old baby. We would normally play as a 4 and I think it threw us off as we had to have a little more help than normal even though this room definitely isn’t as difficult as the Book of Magic. Still absolutely loved it though and the set is so wonderfully done and immersive.
Amazing hosts as always. So welcoming! Great communication and clues that were given on the screen were clear and quickly delivered.
