Really fun game, the hosts were awesome and it's a perfect venue too for a horror game, as Fort Amherst is haunted apparently!
Did 4 escape rooms with these hosts, all in one day. All were great but this room and its sequel, The Basement, were my favourites. Amazing unique setting in a Napoleonic fort, which makes for an amazing atmosphere! Never really done any rooms with live actors before and I worried it’d be too “horror” for my tastes, but not to worry, no jump scares here, just a really immersive creepy and story-driven room. Good puzzles. Will be looking out for what room they open next.
Absolutely loved this room. The host and cast here are fantastic and the theming is excellent!
I will start by saying this is my favourite all round escape room I have done along with the follow on escape room called the basement
The host Bradley was great starting you off getting you immersed in to the story of what has happened and what you could be expecting from this serial killers cabin
Theming and details on point it looks outstanding
Amazing puzzles though out which are all fun and relatable and all quite different from each other
Loads of twist and turns along the way with some outstanding elements and surprises
Very immersive and a great story behind it as soon as it finished I said if the follow up escape room (the basement) is free now then get me in there and take my money !!
Spoiler alert it was and that was also outstanding
Highly recommended! But book both at same time trust me you will not be disappointed lol
Had a great time when we played this game. Hosts were great, brilliant build quality, nice theming on the puzzles and good plot. Really enjoyed both this and The Basement that we did straight after it. Its not hugely scary but was definitely on edge all the way through it expecting the unexpected! Some amazing little finishing touches that I still don't get how they did them!
Its slightly dark in points which can be awkward on the eyes but all in all I felt it worked really well.
Definitely do this and then The Basement too!
This company is the gold standard for our little team - and one we constantly recommend to people, even if they don't live local to Kent!
The concept, layout and décor of the rooms are impeccably done and completely immersive. It's not scary, but it's so realistic that the creepiness adds such a tense unease to the atmosphere. The puzzles are also beautifully integrated into the concept of the room and they are some of the more interesting ones that out team have done.
This does have a live actor in the game, and it really adds to the experience. The whole team at this site are passionate about the rooms and that shines through!

Unsolved Mysteries have raised the bar for what I expect from an escape room with The Cabin. With satisfying puzzles and a surprising human element, The Cabin managed to be infinitely more immersive than a simple “serial killer” themed game.
