Great theming, but a small room, some unintuitive puzzles and an unhelpful host made our experience feel like a bit of a let down.

Outcome: Successful escape!

Dark and grubby, a couple of good puzzles. Didn't like the fact we were grouped with strangers - something that doesn't often happen in UK escape rooms

Fun, but dark room and too many with 5 — I missed seeing a lot of the puzzles and how they were solved. Public booking meant I, as a rando, injected into a group of 4. We won the game and shared the bottle after—one of the best ways to end a game I’ve experienced.

Reviews by escape room review sites

Instead of trying to escape, you're trying to retrieve a bottle of wine; while that makes little practical difference, it's nice to vary the genre a little. The room is one of the physically smallest I've done, though we had a team of five and it felt cozy but not cramped.

The puzzles are structured as a set of tests, which gives a good sense of progression and makes it easier to tell how well or otherwise you're doing. It also means this is a fairly linear room, though I don't remember that be...

And here's your host, Gabriel… Outside the room Lady Chastity's Reserve is not something to be taken lightly. That much was obvious from the moment that I laid my eyes upon Gabriel across the bar. A stout man with a strong beard, this was not some run of the mill host, recruited from a student bar.

How can you fit so much fun into such a small space?! A great in character GM and a bottle of wine to boot, made this room a winner for us!

6.9 / 10

We head into a pub in Clapham, London where there is an escape room that they say combines clues with comedy and immersive theatre. Will we be toasting a great room, or drowning our sorrows?

Lady Chastity’s Reserve is a wine. A wine of legend. A wine that, if you succeed in the game, you get to take home a bottle of. And by ‘home’ in our case I mean the pub the game is based in, where we drank it all. And now I have to remember enough of the game to write a review.

A highly thematic room, let down here and there with slightly frustrating puzzles. I think it would have been more enjoyable with two or three people, so I’ll try my next one of their rooms with fewer people.

Lady Chastity’s Reserve absolutely lived up to the hype for us, and I’m thrilled that we chose it for our very first escape room of 2022. Start the year as we mean to go on, eh?

8/10

We ventured intrepidly into the wreckage of Lady Chastity's hedonistic final party, in order to try to retrieve a bottle of her legendary aphrodisiac wine. Did we leave with our thirst quenched?
