Destroy German superweapons, armed only with intelligence

Step into 1942, when the world is at war. The Germans have developed a series of devastating new superweapons that could obliterate Britain and win the war at a stroke.

As MI6’s top agents you’ve been chosen to go behind enemy lines to find and destroy these fiendish inventions before they are unleashed. The latest news from HQ is that the superweapons are primed and ready to launch, so you have precisely 60 minutes to discover their location, destroy them and save Britain.

The stakes couldn’t be higher – take too long and there won’t be any Britain left to save.

story-drivenpoor hostingplainvery easy

Aside from one really memorable set piece this is one of the poorer rooms I've played. The puzzles were far too simple and easy to solve. The objects were clearly bought for a quick reset turn around. The story was good and if it wasn't for one incredible set piece that took five minutes to solve this would have been a 1 star room. Definitely the worst room I've played so far in leeds.

One of the best Escape Hunt games

An opportunity to be a great game let down by poor maintenance and overuse

broken techpoor hosting

We found this game to be illiogical but to be fair it may have been down to the broken puzzles, so the game didnt flow very well at all.

A puzzle was also left solved, which caused a lot of confusion.

Reviews by escape room review sites

Escape Hunt is a name that enthusiasts may recognise from escaping trips abroad: they have venues in more than two dozen cities around the globe. They used to have a location in London, which shut down some years ago; but they've now re-launched in three UK cities with at least another three due to open. I didn't have a hugely favourable impression of their original London location, but early feedback on their new UK games was a lot more positive, so I was pleased to make a visit to their...

A solid game but one which, for me, never really took off with temperamental tech in the middle, use of technology that looked out of place for the theme, and a finale that was a bit flat. Nothing to ruin the game but enough to take the edge off of it.
I don’t know how this version compares with the six others country-wide, but we were pleased with the staging without being blown away

Overall, this was an outstanding escape room. If you only do one in your life, this might be a contender. If you want to do a lot and are looking for somewhere to start… honestly maybe don’t do this one first. I have a feeling it would make any subsequent ones you do a little less engaging.
