Fairly standard heist style room, math haters might dislike the number of times the calculator came into play.

A digital room but with a host who can nudg you back in the right direction, if you've played the room in Cumbria then some puzzles will be familiar to you, but there are some new ones in there too.

Reviews by escape room review sites

A mixed room that will likely appeal to novices but may leave enthusiasts feeling that there's too much process required to solve the puzzles. Overall, I enjoyed it but if you get frustrated easily then steer clear!
One of the more out-of-the-way locations for an escape room, Cliffhanger Rooms is in the small town of Newby Bridge in the southern part of the Lake District. Remote enough we may never have gotten to it, were it not for my parents conveniently moving to a village ten minutes down the road. So a birthday trip was combined with a parental visit and we made the short drive from Grange-Over-Sands to the next village over.
The decor in this room was not as exciting as the other two rooms but it’s incredibly difficult to make an office interior exciting, which is where you need to start to move on to the vault. It has to make sense to the theme though and it did.
