The build on this game is really something spectacular! The detail that escape hub have put into this game from build to puzzle design is something to behold and even though at points we struggled with this game we can appreciate what has been created here and is a game we would love to have another crack at! 

Note there wasn’t a timer in the game which fits the theme perfectly but meant we didnt quite take note that we had spent (nearly half of our time) on the first few puzzles!

This game is surprising big once you get through the first room and enter an authentic design of a street during a world war with multiple buildings/rooms to work through. The game isn't strictly linear so you can work separately whilst also needing teamwork on some puzzles. The set design and themeing are great and the puzzles match the room well. Great game

Reviews by escape room review sites

Escape Hub's most recent (at time of writing) game is Inbound, set in World War II. Specifically, you're in bomb-struck 1940s London, and your mission is to retrieve three envelopes of confidential information before the next air raid hits. Naturally, I quickly forgot about the details of what we were trying to achieve, and when I found the first of these envelopes I spent a brief time trying to work out what it was for, before remembering it was our goal.

Inbound's interior decoration is lovel...

A massive step in quality over the earlier games at Escape Hub. Inbound has great set design, good puzzles, and a wonderful journey through the streets of 'York'
A game that takes you on a cool journey through a beautifully designed set. Lots of logical puzzles to get your teeth into too.

This room, summed up in one word – AWESOME!

Inbound came with a few slightly alarming warnings – watch your step, don’t climb the netting, don’t jump out of the window

8/10
Inbound had a good variety of puzzles, some of which actually reminded me of puzzles you might come across on those Haiku mobile games, but all very on theme and kept all of us busy. You also have an additional goal in this room as well as escaping and I like rooms that incorporate these extras as I feel it gives you a real sense of how you’re progressing. 
A massively enjoyable experience, with a great theme, smart use of space and great effects. If you haven't tried this room yet - you must! 

Really well designed room, looked great really keeping to the theme of the room, games were challenging but not impossible, a very enjoyable experience 

Can you escape in time!
