After the delight that was Inbound, this game was a step backwards and I was stunned to think the same people made the two rooms. This shouldn't deter people from Escape Hub though, just this game

First half was great. The back end of the room is very tired and didn't work properly which was frustrating after doing the excellent ImBound. Needs retiring or refreshing.

Once again escape hub has hit a coffin of a very good room. The main highlight for this room was the puzzle as some of them I had never seen before! The theming was lacking but overall I did enjoy my experience

Reviews by escape room review sites

The weakest of the games we played at Escape Hub. With some much better games on offer in Maidstone, and at Escape Hub itself, I would suggest that teams keen to play all of the games play this one first and move on to better options
This was the last room of the day at Escape Hub for us and we were happy to still be looked after by the friendly Andy. He took us into a room which had been cleverly decorated to look like it had seen better days in the criminal underworld.

The final room we completed at Escape Hub, and possibly the most dated feeling of all of them, that being said, I still thoroughly enjoyed it, the puzzles were pretty unique and interesting, with some stuff I've never come across before. The concept behind the setting could be better, with a better flow from section to section. I thought the puzzles themselves really made the room worthwhile, and worth the effort, this was my least favourite of the 3 rooms, but, that shouldn't be taken as a negative, I just thought the other 2 were brilliant and blew this one out of the water.
