Really well built and themed - some really enjoyable puzzles
Absolutely amazing theming, one of the best I have seen in a long time, along with some extremely clever puzzle ideas and sneaky twists, all wrapped up in a brilliant ending. Had an absolute blast playing this and so impressed with the construction. Could have been real life for all I was aware!
Really great room with a huge range of puzzles and a clear step up in design quality for the team at Suffolk Escape Academy. Definitely worth a play!
Really fun escape room. One of the best prison themed escape rooms there is! Very clever to have the intro activity to get everyone in the puzzle-solving mindset! Great experience.
This was our first escape room at this venue and the host was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The escape room theme was a traditional escape room one but was handled really well with a range of unique and logical puzzles. We all came away buzzing.
The immersive nature of this escape room is out of this world. The theming is exceptional. It felt like being on a film set! Wonderful puzzles with a nice use of tech and traditional escape puzzles.
A wonderful magical escape room in a lovely space. Beautifully themed and intelligently thought out puzzles.
We did this room as a couple. I think it was perfect for two. This would be pretty good for beginners, but also fun to play for the more experienced as some of the puzzles felt quite original.
The decor was fun and the timer at the end was a nice touch.
Really good value for money - we’ll be back to do the other rooms.
Quite a remarkable room, definitely Suffolk Escape Academy's best room to date. Great theming, the puzzles were totally on on point to the theme with some lovely "easter eggs". Fantastic value for money, but make sure you do the mental warm up, you'll need it.
Had a really great time escaping the imminent zombie apocalypse in this room. The puzzles were clever and there were some fun surprises along the way. Host was friendly and good at making children feel welcome.
Highly recommend this game! Jonny was a fantastic host, very friendly, and gave just the right amount of clues. The room was complex with lots of ‘stuff’. We have played 25+ escape rooms and we loved that this one was a bit trickier than most. The theme, props and decor were fab. Thank you!
What a triumph! We saw a little sneak peak of this room many months back when we did the "Enchanted Grove", and I jumped at the opportunity to book in as soon as I saw that it was open at last. It was well worth the wait and exceeded all of our expectations!
The game is dense with a variety of puzzle styles, all of which were interesting and very fair. We really clicked with the puzzles in this game and found our stride quickly - even so we needed the full hour to get out as there's a lot to do.
The theming is super immersive and the set construction is done to top spec - clearly a labor of love! You can feel that a lot of thought and planning went into creating this room, and it's a pleasure to play such a meticulously plotted game!
Best room there and host wasn’t rude this time 😂
Room in itself was quite easy and nicely finished…. the animal in the bush leapt quite far and caught a team member but no injury luckily… host was a little rude when we had a chat after with some criticism…
Good enough room but found host to be quite rude
We were lucky enough to test this game while it was being developed and nearly ready to go.
I’ve been back to play the other two rooms since, and they all have creative and unique elements, and at least one puzzle where you have to really try to put yourself in a different mindset. It helps to have people with you who have different puzzle solving skills.
Hosting at suffolk escape academy is always fantastic with a love for escape rooms and puzzles which is reflected in the rooms.
Highly recommended as always.
Suffolk escape academy always have original puzzles and fantastic hosting.
Johnny has a unique way of thinking, which is reflected in his rooms, solutions often need creative solving.This room has a lot in it, don’t do what I do and miss the obvious! There were a couple of puzzles which I hadn’t seen before anywhere else.
Doing this room as a team of two is very challenging, but if you take it on as a large team make sure your communication is very good due to the high intensity.
Always highly recommended.
Really good fun, with clever and unique puzzles.
Independently run by enthusiasts, which really shows in the quality of the experience.
There’s also bunnies and Guinea pigs on-site just to make it better (sadly not in the room though!)
An absolutely stunning set with some interesting puzzles and great hosting
We tested this game and first of all, you have to take a moment and step back to appreciate the amount of work and effort that has gone into creating this room - beautifully hand painted - amazing.
The game was brilliant, there was something for everyone, I really enjoyed a lot of the puzzles in this room, some simple but extremely effective and enough to confuse me (until after 11am) and some more complex that were super fun to explore and solve.
I took an Escape room newbie with me for this and he really enjoyed it and found his feet really fast and managed with the puzzles which tells me this room is perfectly designed for both newbies and experienced players alike.
I wish Jonny and the team all the best with this room as it really is fantastic.
Fantastic venue on a huge campsite come activity park. Fab host, and a clever Introductory warm-up that I have never seen before! Room was cleverly built, puzzles fun and plentiful and in-keeping with the theme, with a couple of great moments and use of items I haven't come across in any other room, plus an ingenious hint system! Really loved this game (60 rooms) as did my mum (6 rooms!) Loved the humour too and looking forward to going back for the other room!
A great visit to Suffolk Escape Academy to play The Next Great Detective. A warm welcome from Jonny who showed us a demo board of locks and puzzles before our game to get our brains warmed up. The room itself flowed well and looked great and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. We will return again when the new room is ready to play
We booked this room last minute and were really glad we found this site. The owner of the site was our GM and he was brilliant, so passionate about his room and wanted to make it the best possible. The room had some good puzzles and wasn't just the typical Sherlock Holmes theme you get with other rooms. We look forward to them opening new rooms as we will definitely be back.
Lovely themed escape room, very well executed. Good customer services
Quite a good room, I wouldn't say it was too difficult but our team was having an off day! Would definitely recommend to more novice players. Veterans may find it a little easy.
