Good escape room with some really nice touches related to WWII, but we were slightly frustrated by a slightly illogical puzzle two-thirds of the way through and despite requesting assistance several times were left on our own for quite a while. The hosts outside the game were extremely friendly and professional, but unfortunately they weren't as available as we would have liked in the game itself.
That said, we had a great time and intend to go back to play the Alice room!
Aside from one really memorable set piece this is one of the poorer rooms I've played. The puzzles were far too simple and easy to solve. The objects were clearly bought for a quick reset turn around. The story was good and if it wasn't for one incredible set piece that took five minutes to solve this would have been a 1 star room. Definitely the worst room I've played so far in leeds.
One of the best Escape Hunt games
An opportunity to be a great game let down by poor maintenance and overuse
We found this game to be illiogical but to be fair it may have been down to the broken puzzles, so the game didnt flow very well at all.
A puzzle was also left solved, which caused a lot of confusion.
Thanks Justin for hosting our first game at this venue, we really enjoyed it and appreciated you taking the time to chat with us even when you were obviously busy.

Escape Hunt is a name that enthusiasts may recognise from escaping trips abroad: they have venues in more than two dozen cities around the globe. They used to have a location in London, which shut down some years ago; but they've now re-launched in three UK cities with at least another three due to open. I didn't have a hugely favourable impression of their original London location, but early feedback on their new UK games was a lot more positive, so I was pleased to make a visit to their...
Overall, this was an outstanding escape room. If you only do one in your life, this might be a contender. If you want to do a lot and are looking for somewhere to start… honestly maybe don’t do this one first. I have a feeling it would make any subsequent ones you do a little less engaging.
