We were expecting a good room at Extreme Escape, but this was brilliant. So much effort has gone into the room and it was totally worth it.  Great hosting.

This has gone up there as one of my favorite rooms. The initial story and the booming acoustics made it feel like we were in a Disney World ride.  There were lots of great reveals and surprises throughout the entire game. It's a 75-minute game but I feel like most teams with at least 50 games under their belt will do it within 60 minutes, but I guess the extra time ensures that all teams get to see the entire game and all its wow factors. Will be back to do the other two we didn't have time to try.

Impressive tech and set, some theatrical and some wow moments! Only criticism: a little too many of the same style of puzzle.

Reviews by escape room review sites

The team behind Extremescape have done it again, delivering a beautiful set with engaging puzzles and fantastic moments of theatre. I was a little worried that they'd struggle to improve on their previous two games, but they absolutely have - coming up with plenty of new ideas to keep their loyal customers happy and putting even more polish into the experience.
Despite struggling with this room (we were tired), we absolutely loved it. From the start to the incredible ending, this game had everything and more. This room is a real gem in the escape room industry and must be played by everyone.

Overall we had a fantastic time, and the experience continued after we left the room. We spent quite a while talking to the owners and had plenty of cuddles with the resident dog (who is a rather large, but beautiful, Rottweiler-style boy).  It’s obvious the passion that has gone into these rooms, and it’s well worth the visit.

A very clever and immersive room that all comes together so well. Fantastic range of puzzles and really friendly owners! 

Extremescape have created another truly immersive experience. There is a reason they are seen as one of the best in the business because every minute you play their games they are a joy. They could have easily kept this as a 60 minute game but the additional 15 minutes gives you just enough time to take in the visual feast that is such an amazing game.
