The puzzles were of a reasonable difficulty, we really enjoyed the flow of the room and the sheer number of puzzles that were packed in there. All in all, this is an unmissable game and one worthy of its status in the world of escape rooms!
Hosting taken to the next level
Fantastic. One of our favourite experiences and rooms. Tom really pulled it off and from the moment we entered to the moment we left we were in his magical world and everything was on theme and exciting. Clearly a lot of love and effort has gone into this and if you like magic you'll hopefully notice loads of nods and tributes to things from that world. You can tell that the owner really likes this theme and is into their magic and they've made this room their baby.
Loved the live magic!
This was a really interesting concept and something a bit different. Had a lot of fun playing it and would recommend!
Its amazing to see escape room owners take a chance and do something different, it sparks the imagination of the players and re-writes the escape rules. This adventure takes a fabulous room of magical puzzles and interweaves with some memorable and interactive magical cabaret throughout it.
Tom may have created a rod for his own back (as the only host), but what a wonderfully crafted rod it is. I'd happily play it again just for the show.
An absolute must play room. So different and unique. Straight into my top 3 rooms! Amazing hosting!
Absolutely adored this game. Without spoiling too much - magic is the key!
Everyone will love this game, even if you're not a fan of magic as the puzzles and room itself has plenty to do!
My only slightly criticism is certain aspects of the game are bottle necked which I didn't enjoy.
I'd hoped for an "event" game for my 500th and this did not disappoint, Loudini has rocketed up the enthusiast charts since it opened. It's not much of a surprise to note that this game features a live-actor but in a totally non-antagonistic way and indeed it's all part of the experience. You are treated to a magic show at the beginning and that leads you into the main part of the game where you trying to track down magicians notebooks.
The magic in the first page of the game carries on throughout and there are some terrific moments. Puzzles are a good variety and there's a nice flow throughout this game, signposting is completely on point, hint system is also in keeping with the overall theme. This is most definitely worth playing.
Our host (and magician) was Thomas, the owner and he was exceptional throughout, this game has been a labour of love for him and it shows throughout.
Excuse me but I now have quite the desire to watch Christopher Nolan's "The Prestige"..
Just go. This is unmissable. Dates are limited because there's only one possible person who can host it, so depends on his availability. TERPECA 2023?
Reviews by escape room review sites
The Great Loudini was an escape room that has been blowing up the recommendation pages, and since it launched we’d spotted plenty of shout-outs to Tom and the team via the various enthusiast Facebook pages. So naturally, we were very excited to see what Escapable had in store for us!
