#48

This was a fantastic experience! From the moment you are in the room you are immersed, and from there it just keeps expanding. Very original, the practical effects and decor of this room are on a par with, if not exceeding Viking at Extremescape. A few really unexpected turns and surprises, we would be completing one puzzle and genuinely be unsure what we were about to put into motion.

An added bonus of this room is that as you are collecting gold AS WELL  as trying to solve puzzles and try to escape, you can finish before you have completed EVERYTHING - therefore our host didn’t let us out when we enabled escape, but instead encouraged us to search high and low for every last shiny piece.

Again, brilliant hosting here, the one criticism is that it was rather dark to start with in the mine, but your eyes do adjust in time. We both came out genuinely gutted it was all over. 

Current top 5:

1. Viking - Extremescape

2.  Mr Copplestone’s Curiosity Shoppe - Escape Quest

3. UI-55 - Compendium

4. The Legend of Foole’s Gold - Clockwork Escapes

5. Spellbound - Make Your Escape

Absolutely brilliant! Great physical puzzles and the concept of collecting gold and escaping really works. It's dark in the mine but it only adds to the atmosphere! Great hosting from the moment we walked in.

This is just a top class escape room.
