We had a first trip to here this weekend and played Kwik E Mart and it did not disappoint. A little different to the usual escape room, padlock and key lovers would be a bit lost In this room until they discovered how much fun trying to dash around the aisles grabbing items is.  A very clever fun experience.

Our host Toby was everything a host should be and we had a great experience. See you soon for another room!

Im closing out on my challenge to do an escape room everyday, this is number 294 and by far the best. It combines smart thinking with efficiency. The host really makes you forget its an escape room and you begin to live in the experience. Ive been to escape rooms all over the world and who would have thought my favourite would be right here in Margate. Absolutely a top escape room for me.

Great experience, completely made by our host Sarah. I hadn’t done one of these before but the whole group enjoyed it. 

Definitely recommend doing this and would do again.

value for moneyimmersivegreat hostingvery difficult

This was definitely one of the best if not the best escape room I’ve done. It was such great cost for two people for the size, time and experience.

The host Toby was great throughout and assisted us when needed but never made us feel stupid! It was difficult but not impossible and really had us thinking outside the box.

We’re already planning when we can come back again to complete the other rooms. Definitely a hidden gem in Margate!

This was a great Peter Pan themed game, great for families. The puzzles keep you in your toes, but for the most part very enjoyable.

originalfunnybroken tech

Irresistibly original concept for a room, really fun and loads to do for 2 people. Ok, it has dated and could do with some maintenance really, several bits of tech were broken, but this was all mitigated very well by our host Onyx who made sure it didn’t affect our enjoyment at all. Some nice puzzles. If you don’t turn up expecting a glossy movie set type experience you’ll enjoy it. Really fun vibe from the whole place (even the toilets!), these people are clearly puzzle enthusiasts and we would definitely return to try their other rooms next time we’re in the area.
