illogicaloverpricedbad themingquite difficult

Worst theming in a room Iโ€™ve seen, a plain black room with chalk and one plastic tint gravestone! Very cheaply done and rip off to stranger things. Puzzle illogical will go down as the worst Iโ€™ve done

broken techpoor hosting

Really terrible, even on entering broken items pointed out by GM. Looks thrown together as cheaply as possible and plays like it as well. Definitely won't be attempting their other rooms

Nice escape room with a stranger things theme. Some red herrings which I personally donโ€™t like but the puzzles were ok. Good for new starters or teenagers as feel that would enjoy the theme.

Reviews by escape room review sites

As mentioned, the room was visually appealing, but some of the immersion was lost when the technology failed.

City Mazes havenโ€™t learned from the flaws in their rooms at the previous venue. Actually now, the escape experience now seems tacked onto the rest of the Play at Pins complex as a means of drawing in the stag and hen crowd.

The Subject 11 room was just on the wrong side of okay for me. Itโ€™s inoffensive, but lacked much in the way of a challenging experience and was quite uninspired given the subject matter.
