immersive

Very practical room with lots of hands-on elements. Clever clue delivery and starting sequence of the game. Slightly hard to know where to get started, a few puzzles are a tad illogical but not unfathomable. Not a scary room despite some apprehension beforehand (no live actors, no jumpscares) - would recommend!

A very practical, hands-on kind of game that had some really great physical puzzles and a different kind of take on a popular theme. For us, we didn't quite gel with this one as it required a lot of searching (not our strong point!) but we did enjoy how the puzzles were constructed and the immersive acting element.

Overall a fun game with some great puzzles that really make you think.

As a team of 4 we found that everyone always had things they could be getting on with.

I enjoyed the unique objective of the game (which I won't spoil), but it was a fun twist on your usual escape room format.

Our game host was occupied running 2 games at the same time and in the latter half of the game we did wait 6 minutes for a hint and had to first inform the GM where we were up to which put a bit of a damper on our game.

Reviews by escape room review sites

I’ve played plenty of escape rooms where I’d been falsely accused, and had to clear my name. Corruption takes a far more original approach by turning that premise on its head: you are guilty, and you’re urgently trying to sanitise all the incriminating evidence before the cops turn up and arrest you all.

That’s a distinctive and unusual idea for a game, and the way it’s designed is equally distinctive and unusual. With a variety of tricks (most of which I’ll avoid detailing here) the ven...

A refreshing room that showed padlocks don't hurt good games. With decent puzzles and an original start and finish, this stood out from the crowd to be one of my favourite games in the area.
Lucardo have hit it out of the park once again. Corruption was full of fantastic puzzles, immersive touches, and all surrounded by a fantastic set. Prison in Manchester used to be my favourite Lucardo game, but this one may have surpassed it.
A really unique and theatrical game packed with puzzles and atmosphere. Extremely unique amongst the games we’ve played and highly recommended.
