Escapable: The Great Loudini – Live Magic & Puzzles

Loved this experience so much! Gareth, our magician, was phenomenal- I really enjoyed all of the tricks throughout the game and how they then fed into the puzzles. 

Unique experience with a great host, the magic was truly mind-blowing 

This is the best escape room we’ve ever seen played. Tom was an amazing host.  

I'll start by repeating what other reviewers have said - Tom is a great host and very talented with his magic tricks. He's clearly an escape enthusiast himself, and it was nice chatting to him after the game.

The room itself has a wide variety of puzzles, and it's always clear which solutions go in which locks, but be aware it all takes place in 1 room (though [redacted]). There was plenty of fun to be had here!

Sadly the "climax" that other reviewers praise was very disappointing, because it was totally obvious what was [redacted] - we even called this out, but played along anyway. I don't know how anyone could be baffled by this if you think about it for more than 10 seconds.

If you have any knowledge of common magic tricks, there won't be a lot here that surprises you, but Tom's delivery of the tricks is great so play along and pretend to be astonished!

Final point: the booking email tells you to arrive 30 mins before starting, but when we did, the host sounded confused and we were told to wait outside for 10 more minutes (in an industrial car park) - it was very hot and there was no outdoor seating, so we would've appreciated being able to wait in the lobby instead.

Greatest game we have ever played - the full experience, with Tom's live magic, is essential.

Really can't put into words how good this room is. The magic is seamlessly woven into the room and Tom is such a lovely person to host you. His skills will leave you in awe. Without the magic this would still be an excellent room but the addition of the live magic really lifts this room onto another level.

We are still stunned by the magic! Go and play this room if you can get a slot, it's well worth travelling for and definitely a must-do, bucket list room. We absolutely loved it.
