Most recent ratings & reviews from players
This has been one of the greatest games I have played so far, the puzzles were cryptic but the cross between pirates, magic and dragons was amazing. I enjoyed every minute of it.
Exceptional set design leads this room - every part is distinct, well built and functional. Atmosphere is top quality, supported by the use of live actors appropriately. Tension over jump scares and a consistent narrative top this off as a top tier room.
Thoroughly enjoyed this game from Mythologic. Very different to the rest of their Rooms with the difference being a more Immersive, Story Based playthrough. Highly enjoyed and would recommend.
The guys at mythilogic were amazing! Chris and Amber made the game for us, would 100% recommend!!!!!
The room was easily one of the best we have done. The story as a whole is great and we was terrified (in a good way!) the characters are fun to interact with and everything is well thought out!
Great fun, good use of small space, good puzzles, enjoyed this one
great fun, well made, solid puzzles, family friendly
good fun, solid room ... room was a little tired when we played it, but didn't spoil the fun
Great fun for all the family
This is an awesome game, we had Matt hosting and he was great, made it a very fun atmosphere.
The game was very immersive and there's a lot we weren't expecting for a pirate theme which made it even better
Beautiful and creative game so much fun and an unmissable experience
Great escape room. Very diffrent and genuily original puzzles and great hosting and live performance that helped the immersion and our playing. Our host Chris was very knowledgeable and was passionate about escape rooms and it translates to this room. Great time
Searcing the internet and picking a local escape room to our location, looking through the 6 escape room options, we chose Arabian Nights.
As we wanted to attend reasonably soon, I looked on the website to see if I could book, where it advised to call due to short notice.
I called them up and spoke to Matt. He was really helpful with a very friendly approach. He accommodated my request, I made payment over the phone (other options were available) and Matt told me which location we need to go to (as there are two locations and whichever escape room you choose would determine the location). Matt also advised about parking nearby.
When we arrived we were greeted by Matt who went through the instructions ensuring we were ready and comfotable, even offering us neck fans to help keep cool.
Finally, we were shown into our escape room.
I'm not gonna say much about the actual content as I don't want to give anyone any spoilers or hints, but I will say that my 13yr old daughter and I really had a great time.
We completed it in 59 minutes (with maybe just a little guidance!!), and once again met Matt as we came out.
We were each given a little keychain as a momento (was told you get a different keychain for every experience you do) a photo to remember the experience, and a recorder for my daughter. Again I will say Matt was really friendly.
I would definitely recommend Mythologic Escape Rooms and will be booking another experience in the near future.
Thanks Matt, and the rest of the team, for helping us have such a great experience.
Went with family as a birthday treat for me as I love creepy things.
Brilliant time. Definitely creepy and there were a few scary moments with my adult daughter grabbing my hand. Lol.
Excellent story and great atmosphere and effects. Staff were fantastic as usual and the 'assistant' was brilliant. Definitely not disappointed playing this one.
Very atmospheric! Acting was great, some funny bits amongst the scares
Not a standard padlock game, we really enjoyed it and it was quite spooky! Lots of surprises
Brilliant atmosphere, sound, lights, great theme. Amazing acting.
Very immersive
Recommend highly
What an experience! So immersive and story driven which made it extremely an on edge and adrenaline rushed experience.
So much thought and effort was put into this escape room, very different from anything else we’ve done before.
Highly recommend!!
Plenty of jump scares and creepy scenes, puts you on the edge.
A great game for the family, based on a well-known film, the set was really good and there is plenty of references.
A magical Christmas game for the family, good fun!
Loved this Christmas room, it was amazing! There was lots of fun and laughter, despite the Grunch!
Really good fun for the family. Travel to distant realms to save the day!
A good escape room for the family, "who done it" game. Follow the clues like a CSI and find out who did the crime!
There was a bit of a creepy vibe, well, it is Sweeney Todd and Mrs Lovett! A well presented gave with unusual puzzles, it was a great immersive experience from barber shop to butcher and pie shop.
A well thought out room, you have to break into the vault, crack open the safety deposit boxes (as many as you can) and escape before your time runs out.
We played this twice and loved both attempts, the second we made it to the Royal Vault and made top of the leaderboard for the month, had to be done! Not just an escape room but a clever game to get you coming back to beath other players, we love it!
Great one to take the kids to, really good fun, and you get to ride a magic carpet!
We played a family, aged from 13 up and absolutely loved the immersive game. From the minute you walk into the game you're straight into the immersion, with live actors (deamons and priests) it was an intense atmosphere.
The puzzles were great and included everyone. Lots of special effects, dramatic lighting, and immersive sound. Definitely worth a play!
I cannot recommend the Lilith escape room highly enough! Really unlike any escape room I've done before - extremely immersive, excellent storytelling, a good mix of puzzles and overall an incredible experience! Amber and Chris did such an amazing job as our hosts and you can see how much hard work and passion they have put into this room. Wishing you guys all the success and thank you for having us!
This is an escape room not to miss !
It’s a full experience with fantastic friendly hosts
From the start you really are immersed in to the story/plot
The details though out the whole escape room are amazing with lots of hi tech though out keeping the immersion at a all time high from everything to great sounds and lighting, to hi tech props
You are fully engaged the whole way though
The games/puzzles though out are good some are kinda difficult but you have a creepy helpful nun to help you out lol
It’s a very unique escape room with a theatre based show though out making it stand out from others
100% recommend and will be back to do some of there other escape room in the future
Just remember don’t enter a red room the demon might be lurking
I giggled a lot and had a blast
Really enjoyed this room. Well thought out puzzles
This is definitely in my top 3 rooms of all time! The storytelling, theming, atmosphere and immersion are all amazing. Did I huddle up to the others and close my eyes? Yep I did but I wasn’t scared to the point of being unable to think.
Mythologic have definitely raised the bar here. Absolutely recommended.
Not our usual choice of game; but we really enjoyed it: great story and hosts.
If you are one for a scarier room this is not one to miss, very immersive!
This is an absolutely immersive and thematic room, and a credit to the team putting it together.
It offers something very different that we've not experienced in our 20+ completed rooms.
Although horror themed and "scary" in nature, I won't give any spoilers away, but its not full of jump scares!
A must for any enthusiasts.
This is a great escape experience! One of the best ones me and my partner have done. Be prepared to be spooked!
This is an absolutely hilarious escape room! Definitely one to try with all of the family!
Very fun, I played with my son who also thoroughly enjoyed it! We proved to be terrible theives! Must try game! Would definitely try again to better my score!
A great classic style escape game full of twists and turns.
This is a one-of-a-kind escape room! It is new and innovative. A must try for all! I have played many other escape rooms and have never experienced anything like this! Top notch live actors with a story line bound to chill you to the bone! A+!!!
I have played quite a lot of escape rooms abroad and the first thing that came to mind when playing Lilith is that it felt more like the sort of escape room you would expect to find in Athens. The game was very story driven, with a live actor and lights that go out whenever the players need to pause their puzzle solving to watch a scene unfold.
The actress was fantastic (though I personally thought the helpful nun was scarier than the demon.) The scenery was incredible and the puzzles were all very clever and well thought out. Easily one of the best escape rooms I have ever played in the U.K.
Not normally into scary escape rooms, but damn this room was good! Our first room with a live actor, sister Agnes was such a contrast to what’s going on around you, she was helpful and calming .
The props and room were of a very high quality and immersive, we massively recommend fans of the scary escape rooms or casual fans, just leave the kids at home.
10/10!!
I recently visited Mythological in Gillingham, and it was honestly one of the most amazing and fun experiences I’ve had in a long time. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was immersive and exciting, and you can tell a lot of care has gone into every detail.
The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made a huge difference. They were enthusiastic, helpful, and clearly passionate about what they do, making the whole experience feel even more special.
We tried the new game Lilith, and it was absolutely brilliant. It strikes a perfect balance between fun and fear — there were moments that genuinely had us on edge, but it never stopped being enjoyable. The scares are well-timed, the storyline is engaging, and it keeps you fully immersed from start to finish.
Overall, Mythological is a fantastic place if you’re looking for something different, exciting, and memorable. I’d highly recommend it to anyone — whether you’re going with friends or family. Definitely worth it!
The Grunch is a fun, linear, lock-centric Christmas game that looks great, and I can easily imagine it being a huge hit with families. For enthusiasts, there’s nothing wildly new here, but I appreciate the logic of designing festive rooms that families can actually complete. Mythologic’s Christmas room last year—Sneaky Santa—was one I absolutely loved, but even our very experienced team of four left it a little tight. That is over at Margate now at CtrlAltEsc and I highly recommend it for anyone up that way.
We went in slightly wary after being told we’d “be fine,” given our well-earned reputation for overthinking and missing the obvious. In the end, we were simply a bit dim on one puzzle and lost our 30-minute escape because of it. Textbook us.
I’m really looking forward to Mythologic’s new horror room, Lillith, when it opens next year.
Accessibility: Other than three or four steps up into the room, there are no issues to flag.
I now post mini-thoughts and photos of rooms on Instagram as @thegreatstacecapist.
This one was quite inventive and had some fun pop culture references sprinkled throughout. It’s a little too easy and super linear, but it had some fun moments and some decent theming (I think this part could be improved slightly though). Good fun!
Some really impressive tech in this game and a lovely variety of puzzles to go with it. Different narrative to the usual pirate games too
Great range of puzzles and really nicely themed. Thought the flow of the second half was less clean than the first but still very fun.
An excellent heist game, loved how the two parts of the game linked. A few novel reveals and locks that I had not seen before too.
Whilst it’s the oldest game at this venue it still holds up, great theming and some novel puzzles all linked to the theme.
Really liked how it actually felt like we were doing a crime scene analysis in this game.
I would have rated the game higher but I felt the darkness was over used across the entire experience and felt unnecessary in parts.
This is one of the better CSI games in that it actually feels like you are doing the investigation as opposed to opening a series of locked boxes. The environment is sparse but themed well and the puzzle unfolds in a mostly linear style. A good usage of an hour.
Who doesn't like a good pirate game?
This starts off as you might expect for a pirate game but then turns into something I wasn't expecting but was very impressed by. There are some great moments in this game with props and puzzles I hadn't seen before which added to the overall enjoyment.
One of most family friendly games I've played in a while. All of the puzzles are in keeping with the theme (even though it featured one of my pet hates, I was able to solve a music puzzle!). There's a lot of humour including a couple of wow moments when you transition to another area of the game.
Once again, this is a fun game the works well with a wonderfully fun puzzle system as well that kids will love. This is delightfully whimsical and was just a fun world to be in for an hour.
Bank Heists are a perennial favourite amongst Escape Games. This one is executed well with two halves of the game but both feature a wide variety of puzzles that can be tackled.
I found it hard to engage with this game but I think that was on me, everyone was rushing around so there was clearly plenty to do. There's some great mechanics that work really well and there is a competition element in it as to how much can you steal.
This is a fun game with some good design elements competently executed.
Great for teens playing their first game. Lovely theme throughout all puzzles and well-judged gentle clues for them when needed. Would visit again.
Our second escape room of the day and was an absolute hit - lots of puzzles that had us in the room for almost the whole 60 minutes which is always fine by me. Loved the idea of the Christmas spirit fun o' meter which we did have to improve during one particularly tricky puzzle!
Played the greatest bank heist and I found it was so much like the one in Nottingham but not as good! It didn’t flow as well the puzzles were ok but we got a lot of help even tho we didn’t ask for it
I’m not super experienced played about 17 games but I didn’t really enjoy
Lots of fun, interactive and colourful
Would definitely recommend
You are either gonna love or hate this game lol, its a get as much as you can in the time you have game, rather than a get out in time game, although you do still have to be out in 60 🙂 the sheer volume of puzzles to beable to complete this game is immense and we are planning another trip to go back and try for the lot 🙂
Based on the popular movie franchise we had such fun in this game, some nice things we didnt see coming. its their oldest game but still maitained to a high standard and we can see how its one of thier most popular games.
We had a blast in this game, Its pretty big and you do have to keep moving, great hosting to give us the little nudges just when we needed them. having spoken to other owners on our travels this was reccomended to us on more than a few occasions and people telling us its in the top 3 games ever making it a must play game for us
A beautiful non liner game with a lot to do, an awesome wow moment in the middle of the game, our family really enjoyed this one, we have played all of Mythologics games and cant wait for the next ones to open...
A lot to do for two players but certainly kept us busy! Theming is good but not spectacular, and puzzles fit well too. If the theming was a little better/polished would be a 5/5!
Enjoyed this game with lots of clever puzzles! Fantastic and friendly games master.
great family fun, with a couple of nice surprises ... puzzles are all straight forward and plenty of them ... highly recommended
Nostalgia at its best! This game really gives you the feeling of progression as you play through! Really great variety of puzzles and a joy to play!
A lovely Christmas room that is family friendly with our youngest player being 10 years old with 2 teenagers who were all able to solve puzzles and enjoy the experience. The photo opportunity at the end is a fantastic touch too.
I you're after the closest shave money can buy, Mr Todd is 2nd to none! As is he's escape room!
Recording our 20th room as a family of 4 (2adults 2children) we booked Mythologics newest offering to celebrate the occasion and so glad we did.
From the moment the door closes you are immersed into old time London with plenty to do and perfectly flowing puzzles to keep everyone busy.
If you're in the area and love an immersive, challenging room setup then do not delay, book today!
Based on the filmed Jumanji we was excited to play this. The rooms flowed well and everyone had plenty to do, my o ly negative was that you had access to info before you needed it so before entering we was giving quite complicated instructions advising us to write things down if we get any information as we could late need this information. You don't quite know what this info is so are not prepared to write it down but then you only get q chance further along the line at getting something correct, I'm not quite sure what you do if you didn't hear the thing the first time, it was all a bit xo fusing to be honest. Secondly, as mentioned in another review, as you're getting down to the final seconds, it would be amazing if they were to play the jungle drums getting louder and louder, this would've really built the tension when doing that q final thing and then a final loud fanfare or something but there was just a small voice that we couldn't really hear to say we'd been successful and the gm came in. A shame as it could've been made quite spectacular in those few last seconds. Despite this, an imersive room with mostly logical, good puzzles, fun for all of the family.
Have I told you how much I LOVE Christmas rooms? Well... I do, I LOVE them, they're bright and glittery and have music you can sing to and they make you smile. They're the escape room equivalent of a lovely warm hot chocolate with all the toppings, and this one does that nicely.
The puzzles are wonderfully themed and are quite inventive, there's lots of puzzles you can access at the same time, so everyone can solve something and there's the most wonderful team photo opportunity at the end. Whats not to love?
A faithful rendition of the Sweeny Todd story, the room production is good and the theming is atmospheric and well built. The room is a little dark, but lanterns are provided which help immensely. The narrative progresses well and the puzzles fit nicely into the story.
The room has literally just opened when we played so we had a couple of gameplay niggles, mostly in the latter stages, but I've allowed for these in the scoring.
A more cerebral take on the "kidnapped by a serial killer" theme, with some interesting puzzles and a decent narrative. Gameplay was very good and it has a satisfying finale, well worth playing before it closes.
Fun jumanji inspired room with the usual puzzles you'd expect for a homage to the film/game. Well themed and puzzles are all logical, and the game plays well.
You start handcuffed to a rail and head covered... Once you can see the theme is simplistic but effective to immerse you in to the killer's test of life or death. The puzzles aren't linear so your team will plenty to do and solve. The final part is a clever transition and good ending to the game.
Really intense room and our host Nelson was great - asking how we wanted our clues delivered and giving hints when needed. Game flow felt a bit poor in the first room where there were a lot of padlocks and little to indicate how to solve them. A piece of tech (a laser puzzle) didn't work and the ball puzzle didn't make sense to us but otherwise the puzzles were standard yet fun. Felt like the area at the end (corridor as you escape) was wasted and would have been cool to have some puzzles in there. Overall, scary and immersive but puzzles could be improved to make this a great room.
Pretty good detective game with a cool bit of tech. Very linear although puzzles are pretty good and engaging. Main problem was not knowing whether to focus on solving puzzles or solving the crime scene, then we were docked time for tackling the crime scene at the end of the game. A decent beginner game and fun to play.
Enjoyed the start to the game and it developed into a non-linear affair with fairly standard puzzles. Theming and story are okay, enough to get you immersed. Didn't particularly enjoy the finales puzzles and our host was rather trigger happy with clues, especially giving us full solutions instead of gentle nudges. Worth playing
A decent game but can't help feeling like the first room is very similar to Nethercott Manor at Tulleys, even down to a few of the puzzles. The rest of the room is better and more unique, although the puzzles are rather average. Worth playing
0 clues and was very fun/enjoyable.
Don't be fooled by the lack of reviews on here. This has to be amongst one of the best rooms we have played. It is tucked away off Gillingham High Street and we were stunned by how immersive and high quality the room was. We will definitely be going back to do their other room really soon!
