We had a great time in this room. The theming and lighting was great and the puzzles all fit the theme of the room with not a single padlock. Its not a large room so may get a bit busy with larger groups but found our group of 3 worked well with enough to keep each of us busy.

Fun room which will probably be great for beginners. Its quite linier in its flow without much walking backwards and forwards so always feels like you're progressing. The carnival theme is kept well throughout and it has a nice mix of puzzles that everyone can get involved in. The name "cursed" carnival and the description make it sound quite scary but it's not at all and would be suitable for families to enjoy. We had fun in this room and would recommend it.

Another fun room from Breakout. Thought it was going to be very dark and creepy based on the website description but it was actually quite well lit (has a window looking outside). Nice mix of puzzle styles so it gave everyone something to be able to excel at and a couple of tricker parts to slow down the group.

Really enjoyed this room. Like another reviewer said this game is one of two halves. There's lots of puzzles rammed into the first half that are great fun to work through and keeps up the pace. However the second half the game feels like it slows right down and the main puzzle in this room doesn't seem very clear without needing some prodding in the right direction from the game master.  We really enjoyed ourselves and the difficulty was enough to tax our brains without being too easy or too hard.

Fantastic room! Fully immersive theming, and great flow to the room. Feels really polished and professional. Do feel it could do with a couple of less puzzles as there was a lot to do. Only really escaped because we experienced it as part of an event and were paired with a group who were really experienced doing rooms.

Absolutely fantastic though and had a blast and want to experience all the other rooms at Tulleys.

Loved this room. The theming was great and the room had a great creepy atmosphere. The story and puzzles flowed well and all fit the theme of the room. Only thing I would say is to up the creepiness further but that's down to personal taste. Great fun room!

Love the original theme for this room. Playing off the history of Chester. However the room itself felt quite cheaply made and wasn't that immersive. Even though it was a 5/5 difficulty rated room on their website we found it quite easy and breezed through a lot of the puzzles. Some felt like they didn't really fit the theme/narrative of the room but the others worked well and seemed to flow well enough. Had a great time and managed to escape in a decent time as well.

When booking the name at first made it sound very interesting. However once inside it was very plain and it was mostly white walls and a LOT of padlocks. Some of the puzzles were tough and there was a few moments where we were unsure where to move onto next as the puzzles didn't flow together very well. There was also no confirmation that you had escaped. We finished a puzzle and spent a while wondering what we had to do next before realising the exit door had unlocked and we could push it open.

Great beginners room if you're new to the world of escaping. The room theme is a bit plain and there isn't much story but it has some fun puzzles. Experienced players will breeze through most of the room.

great hosting😨creepy

Lost Souls was my first ever escape room experience. Grabbed a deal on Groupon and headed out with family and a friend. The guy who runs it couldn't be nicer and was super welcoming. We enjoyed the room itself as our first room and all had a great time but after playing several other rooms since it is a bit plain, some of the puzzles don't flow well and there's no clock or clue system and we were given 3 clues where we had to wave at the camera and the game host would physically come into the room to give us a hint which broke the immersion a bit.

Don't let this put you off though as we still all had a great time.

Great hosts who enjoyed chatting and running the game. I do think the game is advertised badly on their website as it makes it look terrifying but in reality it's just your standard escape room experience with black walls and a few creepy objects. The puzzles were fun to tackle although there were a few moments where you didn't know what you needed to work on next which stopped the flow of the game unless you decided to ask for a hint. The rooms are good value for money and they had some amazing discount codes available as well.

Loved this room. Tackled it as a team of two and loved how immersive the theming and puzzles were. Not a padlock in site and some very clever tricks to keep you on your toes. There are a couple of sections where you have to crawl or climb and we noticed at least one puzzle that was broken but it didn't detract from our enjoyment at all. The game host we had was very attentive and could tell they enjoyed running the game for us which made it even better.
