This game is light hearted and a lot of fun. 

The puzzles are on the easy side but there are some more unique styles of puzzles that I hadn't seen inside an escape room before.

Absolutely superb. So stupid and so immersive. Unbelievable soundtrack. Maybe my favourite game ever.

This was game 4 of 4 for us at Pier Pressure in one day so we were pretty tired out by this point! It is their easiest game and we intentionally picked it last, so that we could do it after dinner and a couple of drinks in the evening. Not quite sure how much time we spent dancing vs doing puzzles but had a really great time, aided by a hilarious GM DJ Dizzy. Certainly adds to the experience doing an escape room with a 90s soundtrack blaring and the lights flashing - unlike any other room we've done. The puzzles are not up there in terms of difficulty but still satisfying, with one in particular that involves some good two player communication, and you'll have a good time doing it!

Such great fun! Maybe not the trickiest (but it is not easy!) but the soundtrack, the puzzles, the theming. Spot on!

High energy and lots of fun. Theme was cool and set was decent, GM Chris was great. Game flow felt rather linear and a couple of things didn't seem to work quite right or have great signposting but puzzles were generally good fun and logical. Overall a good game and finale puzzles were enjoyable.

This room was really really good fun. Very enjoyable and the room was fun to be in and the soundtrack really helps it along. Some cool and well thought out puzzles and elements here.

I think we could have gotten a better time in here but honestly the room was just a bit too fun to be focusing entirely on the puzzles!

Never seen or heard of the theme before - some props seemed as though they could do with a bit of a refresh but the room uses space very well, the set is fun, puzzles good fun too! Our GM was wonderful and I loved the finale!

Absolutely loved the theme and the props, the puzzles varied from decent to good, there was plenty to do and we had a fantastic time.

Good fun, brush up on your dancing skills for this one! Some clever puzzles but we were ultimately let down by broken technology. We were prewarned before doing in that there was a broken element but it was really quite disappointing. A puzzle that relied on 2 players communicating, where only half of the puzzle was working, we completed the good half about 3 times before the GM marked it as completed. We wasted so much time fighting with dodgy tech. I feel like all the dancing and music was ultimately to distract you from how broken that room is.

Reviews by escape room review sites

Pier Pressure have created a room that is 100% fun and if you like some classic old school tunes, you’ll have a great time. Fun puzzles and a top soundtrack will give you a time to remember.
We head to a 90s rave nightclub where the DJ has enlisted us to help them find the missing ravers. We can’t get no sleep!

High-tech, high-energy and bags of fun. A unique and entertaining nightclub escape room experience with refreshing gameplay!
