🐶👶Once upon a time….
…there was an old run-down house where some children lived with their foul aunt and uncle.
Whenever they were left in the house, they were locked in the living room and longed to escape to a happier place.
They puzzled over a curious locked door in the corner of the room, from behind which they had heard laughing and screams of joy.
They fantasized about the fun they could have in that room, and that just maybe the way to escape their misery lay beyond.
One day the aunt and uncle left the children and told them they would be back in an hour’s time.
The children decided this was the time to find a way into the forbidden room of fun, and possibly find a way to escape…

Good fun game for family’s and groups with some physical puzzles very 80s nostalgic board games vibe
Nothing crazy here design or tech wise but still an good game to play with some enjoyable parts
Host Becky was fantastic friendly and helpful and we had a good chat before and after the game
We did this game a few years ago as a family with two relatively young children and found it good fun with a variety of puzzles suitable for all. Would definitely recommend this for younger families/families with little or no prior experience of escape rooms.
A love letter to the 80s! This is very much a game to two halves, the first part is relatively linear from puzzle to puzzle but then it becomes very non-linear with a wide range of puzzles (including some tricky dexterity based ones). This is very family friendly with some great moments that should leave you with a smile on your face.
Wow! What a fantastic room with a unique premise and just lots of fun! We completed this as a team of 2 and god was it difficult but so much fun. I would recommend at least 3 people for this room as there are quite a few physical puzzles and it's non-linear so you can split up to tackle.
We opted to take on the room on hard mode (the addition of a puzzle which adds ~10 mins to the game - stupid of us really as we were just a team of 2 on this occasion) and we got out in 62mins (if only our hubris hadn't gotten in the way!)
They're opening up a new room later this year and we absolutely cannot wait to take this on too!
