Welcoming hosts, fun theming and a range of fun puzzles. Due to the nature of some puzzles it was tricky for all 4 members to be involved at all times. Overall a lovely escape room.

Well hosted. We really loved the music and props in this one with references to classic games as expected.
There was an unexpected element when moving out of the first room which was really fun.
It would have scored higher but we felt a couple of the puzzles were too much of a leap to get without having a clue. The GM did recognise when we were struggling and acted promptly which saved it a bit - we’d have felt hard done by if that hadn’t happened.
It was really good value letting children play for one pound each over the holidays- that was the main reason we booked this.
Overall: awesome theme, nicely designed, great hosting with some original puzzles to be fair but a couple were too much of a logical leap.
