If there's something strange in your neighbourhood, who you gonna call? (Oops sorry wrong 80's movie!) But seriously, call Escapable and book this room. I cannot rate it highly enough. From the enthusiastic hosting to the room design, the puzzles, and THAT FINALE, this is definitely one for the bucket list! If you're a fan of Emmett, Einstein & co, you will love this room. If you're a child of the 80's (yup), you will love this room. If you like really well put together escape rooms - you will love this room.

Absolutely love Outtatime. One of our favourites at Escapable. Absolutely brilliant set design and managed to supprise us at certain points (not easy to do after doing so many rooms!) Hosting fantastic as usual! Mike is a pleasure to chat with and gave the perfect little pushes in the right direction when needed!

Reviews by escape room review sites

My knowledge of classic 80s movies is clearly lacking, because it took me quite a few months after hearing of Outatime before I realised it’s inspired by Back To The Future.

As you’d expect from a time travel theme, this is a game that spans different settings. There are of course a great many nods to the movie, some subtle and some blatant, though I’d say that the majority of this game focuses on the movie’s setting more than on the movie’s plot. The premise here is that you’re lost in time a...

If you’re a fan of a certain 1985 film that features a DeLorean, a teen in a red gilet, and a 'doc', then look no further, you’ve found the room for you. Fun puzzles, a lovely set, and an ending that is one you’re sure to remember for a long time.

Outatime is clearly inspired by a certain time-travelling film, and whilst not using anything outright from the film, it is a genuine homage to it, and very nicely done.

A must-visit for any Back To The Future fan. Not the hardest room that I’ve done in terms of complexity, but the sheer number of puzzles keep you busy. And the soundtrack and finale are some of the best I’ve seen at an escape room.
