Fairly straightforward game, few observational errors on our part and a puzzle we feel may require outside knowledge

quite easy

Good game, which I played with 6 and 7 year old daughters and first timer wife. Not too difficult. Couple of puzzles need explaining. Quite a sarcastic host

Seemed a bit illogical, hosting and theme was good but some of the puzzles were a bit confusing and we were able to complete some without actually completing them!!!

The Egyptian escape room at the Escape Room Centre in Blackpool was a disappointing experience. The room and its contraptions were clearly dated, with a few illogical puzzles and, bizarrely, a clearly  used A4 sheet of paper being used for one puzzle. The overall experience was very poor, and I would not recommend this escape room to anyone.

Reviews by escape room review sites

I'm writing this review more than two years after playing the TRAP rooms, so my memory is unreliable and they may have changed anyhow - the Bomb Room for one appears to no longer exist. Also, we played all four rooms in a crazy consecutive burst of enthusiasm, which makes it harder to remember which was which.

However, it's safe to say that the TRAP rooms were good mass-market escape rooms with more of a emphasis on physical puzzles, almost with a Crystal Maze feel. Everything's robustly design...

A fantastic room with good theming, some tough puzzles, fun mechanisms and a decent finale. Expect to have to exert yourself though!
The first room from our Cambridge double bill.
Given the β€˜crawling section’ warning, it’s no giveaway that there is more than one room here. We had a slow start in the first bit – the theming is excellent and there is lots to look at without there actually being many pointers where to start
A well themed and difficult room that suffers from a lack of clues and confirmation that you’re doing things correctly.
