beautifuloriginalgreat hosting
The most out there and different escape room experience i've seen so far. The theming is incredible and the way the game is built into the room is really unusual. Its a split start and you are actually chained up (although in a fire escape safe way).
The hosting was probably the best ive had, with the game masters costume and character and humour all being perfect.
Worth playing purely for the originality and unusualness, let alone the rest.

immersivestory-drivengreat hostingquite difficult
We had high expectations for this but left feeling flat. The theming/set is fantastic. Hosting is really good, although the intro is perhaps longer than it needs to be and had lost us a bit. This wasn’t so much a game of finding and solving. Personally we felt it would be more suited to a team of 2 as often there was nothing for the rest to do. The first half of the game was better than the second. And the end we found a bit of an anti-climax

hi-tech
Dark room start without enough torches for the whole team meant that this was a rocky beginning to the room for me. Got better in terms of puzzle and experience, but first impressions matter and I probably didn't enjoy the rest of the room as much as I might have.

immersivestory-driven
A different style of escape room to what we've done before, this room relies more on practical skills than logical puzzle solving. Our host, Sarah, was very good indeed. She was a very believable prison guard in what was a lovely bit of escape room theatre! The room itself was good, albeit a little tired in parts; it felt like a proper prison in that the room could do with a good deep clean and a bit of TLC to restore it to its former glory. Looking past this, the actual content of the room was very good. The theatre element was greatly enjoyed, and the use of space felt very prison break too. The 'puzzles' were well integrated into the prison break style too which added to the immersive feeling of the room. All in all, a good, fun escape room.
