There were loads of puzzles in this room, though I’d say maybe six people was too many to fit in the space physically. Not a linear game, which we like, and we thoroughly enjoyed it!

For what at first appeared to be quite a small room, the makers of this game had packed in a lot of truly great detail! Clever puzzles without using a lot of high tech gear.

We booked this room after being recommended through a enthusiasts group. The room itself is well themed and packed full of puzzles to keep a seasoned escape roomer busy. Definitely a must venue to visit if you love doing escape rooms. The theme intrigued me and didn't disappoint. We'll be back to do some more rooms at this escape room. Our host was Della who is a enthusiast herself and you can definitely tell its a labour of love for Della

Great theming, friendly GM, a good variety of puzzles and overall a very fun room. We were impressed by how many puzzles were packed into such a small space. Definitely a room we'll remember and look back on fondly.
P.S. The room can get very warm so please learn from my experience and don't wear too many layers of clothing. Being hot and flustered hampers puzzle solving!

Puzzles and props are all absolutely on theme. Baking-related puzzles are a niche area, but this has been embraced whole-heartedly, with a couple of nice little nods to the show that fans will pick up on (the non-GBBO watchers may be a tiny bit confused by the odd reference, but to no detriment).
