This room has so many features that make it unique and brilliant.  We loved the nature of the puzzles, almost like mini challenges at points, but also the fact that some of them need top teamwork.  Combined with great hosting, top theming, and some hilarious features we loved this.  RECOMMEND!  Room 2 for us!

We found ourselves running around quite a lot in this room, as we struggled to make logical patterns between the things we could see and find.  Once one or two things clicked into place, we found ourselves running through steps in quite a linear way though.  There was a lot to do, which made it fun. Recommend. Room 3 for us!

Pier Pressure have excellent games, and this is one of the best they do.  Some puzzles we've never seen before or since.  We missed something so ridiculously obvious which put us on the back foot, but the host guided us through nicely without being overbearing.  Great theming and with lots of local references to Brighton.  Strong recommend.  Room 4 for us!

The Mindworks escape rooms have great decoration and theming, and this one had some unique physical and logic challenges, which we loved.  The host was engaging, both before and after the room.  STRONG recommend.  Room 5 for us!

This is the only escape room we've ever done where the host stayed in character even after we escaped!  Very funny.  The room was in a location you wouldn't expect it, but the production quality was amazing.  The challenges were all along similar lines to things we'd seen before, but still recommend.  Room 6 for us!

The story made the escape room, as the theming and production was brilliant. One of us found this slightly creepy at points, but the challenges were clever and in a couple of cases totally unique.  We received a couple of hints we didn't want or need, as we had plenty of time left.  Recommend.  Room 9 for us!

Another excellent escape room from Pier Pressure.  Some unusual puzzles in this one, and shows good ingenuity at points.  They do very well to make the most of a relatively small space, and the hosting/story were brilliant.  Recommend.  Room 10 for us!

story-driven

Good escape room, with a range of skills needed to move through the challenges.  We missed a couple of obvious things that slowed us down, and afterwards we felt like there were a few too many pointers to help us along.  It was perhaps slightly linear at times, it never felt like there were loads of things in play at any one time.  Good hosting.  Room 11 for us!

One of our favourite escape rooms to date!  Such a clever set up, and a perfect combination of physical, logic and observational challenges.  To avoid spoilers, there is a transition point in the room which is unlike anything we've seen before- brilliant.   Strong recommend (and this company were really passionate about escape rooms- we chatted for ages). Room 12 for us!

This is another great example of theming in an escape room.  All of the puzzles had some link to the story of the room, with local connections too.  Without giving too much away, there is a second area to the room  which was SO COOL when we found it.  A great combination of puzzles, and lovely production.  Strong recommend.  Room 13 for us!

Another fantastic escape room from Pier Pressure.  The story makes it more interesting, and the hosting was great (as always).  We rattled through this, making it probably one of the easier rooms we've done, despite being split up at the start.  Recommend.  Room 14 for us!

Probably the best escape room we've done to date.  It's the only one we've ever done not 2 of us, and it lent itself perfectly to newbies. The nature of the room means it's a collection of mini challenges, meaning you never get stuck for long and can try something different throughout.  The hosting was excellent- outfits and silliness made it even more fun.  MUST DO.  Room 15 for us!

Brilliant escape room.  We had heard SO much about this escape room, and having done other Pier Pressure games (all excellent) we were excited.  The production quality and setting is outstanding.  The story is convincing and well delivered.  There are a good range of puzzles, not just logic, but observational and physical too.  One of the switches didn't quite work which slowed us down, but the host apologised.  Strong recommend.  Room 16 for us!

Really fun escape room, which needs good communication (as you start split up!).  The website said this was 8/10 physical, but don't let that scare you- it wasn't anywhere near that bad.  We were really impressed with the production quality throughout.  The final few puzzles were quite linear- so we thought we were miles off escaping, then galloped through a lot in our final three minutes.  Recommend- the guys running this company were great people.  Room 17 for us!

A clever multi room escape room in a unique setting. A good combination of puzzles, and high quality production value. The setting in a legit old gaol, with some spooky music to go alongside made this an immersive experience. Only slight suggestion would be to add slightly more scene setting at the start. Still highly recommend. Room 18 for us!

A wonderful, experience driven escape room. Without spoilers, there are no padlocks or numbers in this room, which was unique for us. Stunning design, quite hi tech, and they make use of the space to create multi faceted puzzles. Highly recommend. Room 19 for us!
