The Escape House: Spellbound

This had been on the list for a while and I always worry when I have high expectations but the hype is thoroughly deserved! Honestly this is probably the best themed room I’ve done, loved it all. Loves the way to get help/clues changing, loves the puzzles , loved the tech involved. Loved it was non linear so we could split up a little to tackle the many puzzles! Definitely spent longer on some that shouldn’t have been time consuming and then flew through some others. We like to make the most of a room and don’t rush out  and this room had so much to do and look at

Hosting brilliant too, just fan and worth a trip. We will be back for the other room!!!

Amazing experience here! A very devoted team... run by enthusiasts for enthusiasts we done both rooms here now and they are both incredible!!! So much fun! My wife and I have done around 50-60 escape rooms now and these have to be my favourites! 

Brilliant escape room, very immersive and wish I could do it again! It engages all the senses and was more intricate than some escape rooms I've done before. The rooms were well designed

Spellbound was the best Escape Room we have ever done. From the start of the game we felt completely immersed in the game. The atmosphere was amazing, the surroundings fitted the theme , just stunning. The puzzles were perfect for us , who probably do 2-3 escape rooms a year. They were hard in places but not so hard with a bit of thinking out of the box. We walked out smiling and full of nothing but praise for it. We cannot wait until their new room is finished. 

I did this room with my 3 children (10,13,14), I have done around 40 rooms one of the children has never done a room and the others have done a couple.  

It is very immersive from the beginning - there is a slightly scary moment which the host handled well by making sure my youngest was with me for this. The rooms are so immersive and beautiful with some fantastic ways to deliver clues through characters in the room. 

There is a lot to do and I wouldn’t recommend it for less than 3/4 as we were working in pairs fairly solidly on different things the whole time.

This is one of my favourite rooms I’ve ever done - highly recommend 

This is a bit of a stand out game. 90 mins is great and makes it worthwhile travelling that little bit further to do it! 

We loved several things about this room: 

- The set. Immersive, really well made, not just a room with puzzles stuck on the walls. 

- The number of and variety of puzzles. Not one standard numbered padlock in sight, very original from that point of view (compared to many games we've played). 

- The clues/ nudges being very organic to the game and helping you flow nicely. The GM triggering them if you start to get stuck on a puzzle is great. It seems they have them pre-recorded voices at places people over get stuck on. 

Overall worth the money, plenty for bigger teams to do but also great for a couple who have done a few rooms already!

Fantastic room, and a great use of Tech! Lots of surprising elements and plenty for a team of 4 to do, can’t wait for the second room to open!
