Overall, a really solid room.
Dan, our host, was very enthusiastic and gave a good intro to the room and really balanced leaving us to work through any roadblocks with giving well-timed hints when needed.
The room had a good variety of puzzles with lots of interesting tech to make the combination lock-based puzzles a bit more varied.
Without spoiling anything, there was one instance of parts of a puzzle being replaced due to wear and tear did lead us down a bit of a rabbit hole towards the wrong approach, but a well-timed clue stopped us from going too far down it (although it did still take away some of the satisfaction).
Would definitely recommend this room. We did it as a team of 2 and got through it with a few minutes to spare, but 3-4 is probably the sweet spot.
Another fantastic high tech room. Lots of unique and interesting puzzles and some things I haven't seen before. Thoroughly enjoyable
This is my favourite room at cluequest on this occasion we had a great host (not all are as in character).
I think the walkie talkies can be hard to hear. You do get very into it.
The price on here is incorrect, it was £40 each for 2 people to play. The game was absolutely fantastic, my third from ClueQuest and it didn't disappoint. Great technology, up-to-date rooms and some bad but good 'DOH!!' moments!
We had a good time in this room. It was nice to do a room without (m)any padlocks. We were ahead of time for a lot of this game, but got a little stumped by something simple 😅 we were reassured at the end that this was common for players though. There was one element we asked about at the end as we had solved a puzzle but technically could have found another clue towards this. The host was great and spent time discussing with us afterwards. Lots of props and nice set elements.
Our first experience with Cluequest! - Great little game with lots to do.
A really fun game for a range of players including a 9 year old who had never done an escape room before but he got just as involved as us adults. A mixture of puzzle and I really liked some of the more technological systems used for locks, makes a change instead of padlocks!
Good room, would recommend - but it's not as good as origenes at the same location, so make sure you do that one aswell/instead!
Played the revamped Plan 52 - enjoyed the puzzles and the story, probably not as fun as the other CQ games but it is a very solid game.
Played this with my Mum for Mother's Day and it was superb. She absolutely loved it and I think it's one of the best I have played yet. Some superbly clever touches, great tech and puzzles and a real mix of things to do. Only needed one hint for something we had overlooked and Rowen our GM was fantastic. Can't wait to go back and play their other games!
Love the games at ClueQuest. This one's a bit more searchy than the others, but it's still absolutely brilliant.
This room has just had a technical revamp and the tech is absolutely spot-on. There's a lot of searching and finding and there is a lot to do - expect to be busy, especially in a team of two. There were some nice quirky touches in here that really appealed to us and we really enjoyed the challenge level. Overall, a really solid room with reliable, impressive tech and enough to keep us busy.
Nicely made room. Quite tough at times
Good fun game for beginners, so much codes.
Really enjoyable escape room - we love the characters!
A great room which I throughly enjoyed when I played it many years ago. I remember the final puzzle being a little flawed as it was trivial to brute force but it's quite possible it's been improved since I played it. The newer rooms at ClueQuest are all better in my opinion but I still wouldn't hesitate to recommend this room to the Escape Room beginner or enthusiast.
This was a great room to do as a small group. We used a lot of teamwork and the clues were great. We thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait to return to do the other rooms in the story.
Reviews by escape room review sites
Cluequest is a slick high-capacity operation set up well for the corporate market. But they have a fun tongue-in-cheek style, and they're a good beginner-friendly option.
I enjoyed PLAN52 a great deal. This may be because I played it on a much earlier occasion than Sam, when I'd only done a handful of escape rooms; it's possible it's less impressive to enthusiasts than to beginners. But I like the slightly cartoonish aesthetic and I found all Cluequest's rooms challenging and fun.
Their three ...
I thoroughly enjoyed this game, and even if you’ve played it before I’d recommend popping back to see the enhanced version. You won’t be disappointed! The staff at clueQuest are all incredible and will ensure you are completely immersed in your surroundings as well as providing some laughs along the way.
This February, our favourite escape room company clueQuest invited us out to come and experience Plan 52, the first escape room in the current 4 part series of escape rooms.
