Aside from one really memorable set piece this is one of the poorer rooms I've played. The puzzles were far too simple and easy to solve. The objects were clearly bought for a quick reset turn around. The story was good and if it wasn't for one incredible set piece that took five minutes to solve this would have been a 1 star room. Definitely the worst room I've played so far in leeds.
One of the best Escape Hunt games
An opportunity to be a great game let down by poor maintenance and overuse
We found this game to be illiogical but to be fair it may have been down to the broken puzzles, so the game didnt flow very well at all.
A puzzle was also left solved, which caused a lot of confusion.
Dull, fine puzzles, not up to the level of the other games here.
Our first game with Escape Hunt so we weren’t sure what to expect, overall it was a good game with different puzzles and some unusual items which fitted well with the theme.
Enjoyable game. First time players would probably enjoy it. As someone who has played more rooms than the average player, it didn't really stand out to me in any way, but it was by no means a bad game.
We had a great GM who was super chatty and friendly, making us feel really welcome. This is not always the case at chains such as Escape Hunt so we were really pleased by this.
We enjoyed this game a lot. There is a good mix of hands on puzzles which really tested different types of thinking.
This is a decent room and there is one particular element that is incredible! Lovely puzzles and a good amount of challenge that fitted in with the theme and kept the two of us occupied.
Reviews by escape room review sites
Escape Hunt is a name that enthusiasts may recognise from escaping trips abroad: they have venues in more than two dozen cities around the globe. They used to have a location in London, which shut down some years ago; but they've now re-launched in three UK cities with at least another three due to open. I didn't have a hugely favourable impression of their original London location, but early feedback on their new UK games was a lot more positive, so I was pleased to make a visit to their...
Overall, this was an outstanding escape room. If you only do one in your life, this might be a contender. If you want to do a lot and are looking for somewhere to start… honestly maybe don’t do this one first. I have a feeling it would make any subsequent ones you do a little less engaging.
