Secret Studio Escape in Time was one of the first escape rooms I ever visited, so it holds a special place in my heart. I've even done it twice, as they've got a unique offer where returning players can play for free and get involved in shenanigans.
What truly impressed me about this room was their clever reuse of specific props from the original Escape in Time, a sustainable approach I genuinely admire. Bravo to them for that innovation.
The second thing I loved was the puzzles. There's a real mix here of fun puzzles and elements - some tried and tested, and others I'd not seen before or had a cool twist on them. We managed to solve one puzzle before we should have, but it didn't detract from the experience, which flowed really well. The only trouble we had was with some of the old props refusing to help us out (presumably haunted).
On that haunted theme, I don't often find rooms "scary" rooms scary, so I will often put "not scary", but I suppose some in our wider escape room crew would upgrade it to "creepy" as there is a bit of a supernatural element.
The hosting, as always, is top-notch.
Once you've gone down the stairs into the basement (although I think there is a lift...) then there are no accessibility issues here.
