Trapp’d Chester House

We we're one of the first groups to play this. Which was good as everything was new but also hadnt been completely tested. 

Concept is good and we enjoyed being out and about doing the puzzles. Imagine would be miserable if weather was bad though. 

Had a tech issue where we were entering the correct thing but wasn't accepted because they'd set it up to only accept in a mix of upper and lower case, which wasn't part of the puzzle. We did eventually figure it out but took longer than we needed. We highlighted this when we finished and they said they'd update it. 

Something a bit different to do with the family. Kids loved being in charge of hunting down the next puzzle but needed help to figure them out. They liked the theme/characters and nice to be outdoors on the beautiful Chester house estate.

Good for kids, pretty small due to being a mobile room. Although a team of 4, the adults were pretty much just supervising, occasionally giving hints. Completed by a 7 and 9 year old. They enjoyed it but don't bother if you're regular escape room goers. 

A fun room with a few different elements,there are a few bits which are open to some confusion or which need precision to trigger the next bit with isn't always obvious but was enough to do and look at to entertain 4 people. Not one I'd take younger kids into as can be a bit creepy but fine for older kids.

A good room with plenty of different puzzle types and things to look at. Easy enough to complete as a 2. Fun theming and suitable to do with kids.

We did this as a family, 2 children, a set of grandparents us. The accommodation is nicely presented and plenty of space. 

There is A LOT of tech involved in this, something the grandparents would have struggled to navigate on their own and needed use of social media. 

We completed over an evening and the following morning purely because the kids needed to go to bed....you have to unlock one of the bedrooms so we stopped at the point we managed that. 

Beware - there are puzzles you can be locked out of so don't let little fingers (or even tap happy big ones) repeatly press if they don't know what they're doing. 

The kids found the main character a bit creepy but otherwise nothing scary. A wide range of puzzles and things we havnt seen in a room before so that was nice. 

I'd say best suited to a group of adults/couples or family with older teens maybe. But overall a fun experience

Good concept, had expected a bit more theatrics from the 'time machine'. The rooms were well themed but one of the puzzles was flawed so we were forced to check we were doing the right thing...we were, but even the host struggled to actually make the puzzle work. 

The rest of the puzzles were fun and suitable for kids to have a go at. If they improve on that one puzzle it would be a great intro for a family to do.
