I believe this is the first room that Puzzled built and is very well designed with some nice puzzles and nice moments through the game. It has some nice tech and flows very well and all makes sense although we needed a little help is a great room for their first attempt and well worth a visit. Having the game ran by the owner and a very enthusiastic escape room fan just gave this room the edge over the AI game we also enjoyed.

Wasn't expecting much from this place as there isn't very much here about them but wow. Very well designed game that's made a good use of tech without it being ott. Looking forward to coming back and trying their other game. Host was lovely too! The only comment was their waiting area is a bit small but you're not their for long anyway.

Strong first showing from this company with some cool bits of tech and some exciting moments, just needed a clearer plot bigger finale to bring it all together!

A beautifully crafted escape room. You can tell that real love and care went into it's production.

The host was clearly super enthusiastic about escape rooms and wants to create something special.

The tech is the most polished execution that we have come across so far. Worked flawlessly.

We'll be back when the other two rooms are open.

This room was really well done - there was a techy element to this room which we've never seen in any of the other 80 rooms we've completed and we really enjoyed this. We did struggle to follow the exact storyline but we still had fun!

Fantastic game, complete with some special effects which added to the story, required some communication skills within the team to reunite with each other

The only game I've come across where they leave a personalised souvenir in the room for you to take home with you

I think Puzzled could be a little hidden gem in the Valleys. We’ll certainly be keeping an eye out and are looking forward to going back to play their new games when they open.
