When we first open a time portal we send one of our scientists back to make sure everything is ok and it is all safe and stable - we sent Edith, but unfortunately she hasn’t returned… We’ve now lost communication with her, but we do know that she was trying to shut the portal down when something stopped her. We need your team to finish the job - we would go ourselves but we’re too scared.

This can be the first paragraph of your review, or a short summary, or left blank, as you prefer. Anything longer than a couple of lines may get truncated.
I very clearly remember using a giant knitting needle as a makeshift sword to protect myself from the live actor in the room, which very probably scared the living shit out of him. Not sure if terror shared is truly halved but it was funny in hindsight!
The Puzzles themselves were relatively easy but the room was very thematic and terrifying. Struggled on occasion due to low light levels and one puzzle in particular may as well have been in braille. Providing a torch may have ruined the theme but a small pen light would have certainly saved us a headache.
This game was hyped up to me as one of the scariest escape games there is. I did not get this experience, I got lights turning off randomly for long periods of time making my team stop in our tracks as we couldn't see anything. We also kept being directed into another room to waste time it seems, throughout the game it seemed that we had been slowed down multiple times by the games master as we were completing the room too quickly. We were also told about a live actor before we came to play but they must have stopped doing that as all we got was a few random taps or bangs on the floor and I never saw this live actor in the game. overall it was a disappointment after ages of the game being hyped up to me and my team we feel we didn't get the experience everyone else had.
Edith is an unusual beast of an escape room, one that you might love or might find not to your taste, but which you'll definitely remember. Personally I thought it was outstanding and hilarious.
The game is named after a missing operative from your time travel agency, who went through a new time portal then vanished in the process of trying to shut it down. Your job is to go through the same portal, work out if it's safe (spoiler: it's not), then shut it down and escape.
From the rather specta...
Edith has a reputation amongst UK enthusiasts that’s not undeserved. Your tolerance for terror will ultimately determine if this is one that you’ll love or leave, but it is without a doubt one of the best horror experiences we have played in the UK (so far), and struck a nice balance between horrifying and humorous.
A fantastically scary game that I'd recommend to anyone who likes that genre of rooms. A wonderful sense of exploration combined with the actor interactions really help make Edith an intimidating experience.
When it comes to horror escape rooms in the UK, Edith is a name that many will recognise or maybe even fear. One of 4 of Unescapeable Derby’s devious but amazingly themed and immersive rooms. Edith is known for a dark storyline, Chilling Mystery and many a jump scare in tow. That being said we were visiting in the time of COVID… So would Edith live up to its fearful reputation?
Truly the most terrifying experience I’ve ever had. It’s an atmospheric and (unfortunately for your nerves) truly immersive game. You’ll struggle to find one scarier. It’s also got some real moments of humour that really lighten the mood.
