Bloody love this room! We beat the labyrinth and collected enough bonus points to get on the leader board. A really clever room where the main objective is pretty straightforward but the secondary challenge is a real head scratcher. 

Very logical, well styled and lots and lots of puzzles. Fantastic, I can see why it is rated so well.

We really enjoyed this highly rated escape room.  It was really fun to have a different type of game where just escaping isn't the only goal.  We managed to find 30 tokens which we were pretty pleased with.  Really fun and value for money in that you really do get a full hour's worth of entertainment.  And then all the groans and facepalms from us all as the missed tokens were revealed after we'd finished 🙂
