Once again, locked up in seperate cells you have to escape before the guard comes to take you to court in 60 minutes. There's a lot to do in this room including a maths puzzle that they give you a calculator for! A couple of logic puzzles but there's a lot to do so take a group of 3-4.

A fun family friendly room. Some great separation puzzles and brilliant hosting. Some puzzles are a bit too easy for a pro team but it's a great first room for a family of players.

illogicaloverpricedplainquite difficult

It’s a very plain, beat up room. Honestly it’s just a bit dull.

No stand out puzzles (and very slow computer based ones!). All in all, lacking in imagination and care.

Reviews by escape room review sites

As one of Clue HQ's older games, Cell Block C is available at over half a dozen locations around the country, and I had not rushed to try it on the assumption that its age meant it would be one of the company's less interesting offerings. But it neatly filled a gap in our day's schedule of escape rooms, and I was pleased to discover it actually stood up well to most of Clue HQ's newer escape rooms.

Imprisoned for a crime you didn't commit due to the machinations of Clue HQ's usual bad guy antag...

We haven't done many but this was the best ClueHQ room we've done so far. Good room design and only one annoying puzzle, not a bad way to spend an hour

The mix of tech, mechanical challenges and maths-type puzzles is maybe a better fit for a younger generation, and the room would be easier with 3 players on-point
