broken tech😨creepy
We made an evening out of playing two games at Houdini's Swindon. Despite only having been open a few weeks a number of puzzles were broken or missing. Both rooms were disappointing

You could tell they were understaffed, we would complete a puzzle and nothing would trigger - we would ask for a hint and the GM would ask “have you done this?” And we had, so he would say “2 minutes” and THEN it would trigger. Really disrupted the game play

Really enjoyed this! As expected from Houdini's, the set dressing and design are really good. Only downpoint was losing our GM with 4 minutes to go, luckily we only needed one more hint and we were out. Definitely will be back to try room 13!

Not as enjoyable as Titanic was.Some nice logical puzzles, some we missed completely (think we were having a slow day)Little bit of broken tech, but host noticed before it slowed us down.

Reviews by escape room review sites
When reviewing games I rarely say much about the venue outside the game itself. A polished intro or an enthusiastic welcome from the host can get the experience off to a good start, but for me at least is rarely a large factor in how I feel about a game afterwards. Houdini Escapes put so much effort into their hosting that it would be a crime not to mention it. Not only is their reception very nicely decorated with a first-rate selection of free drinks on offer, the briefing then takes place in ...
An well rounded experience from the moment you enter the shop to the moment you walk out the door. A tough start for novices but good plenty of good puzzles. Let down a bit by a couple of awkward moments in the game.
Prison break rooms are probably one of the most common themed rooms out there, but this is one of the better ones. Quite a search heavy room at times, but the puzzles were fair and the signposting was decent.
The theming of this room is absolutely excellent with twists and turns which we have not experienced in other rooms.
