You and your team have mysteriously found yourselves inside someone else’s mind. Lucy is fast asleep, and somehow you are trapped within her dreams. Her dream world is strange, weird, wacky, and wonderfully unpredictable. Nothing is quite what it seems, and every corner holds a new surprise.
Step into a world of 5 unique dreams! In each one, you must explore, solve challenges, and collect the hidden Dream Keys. Only by gathering all of them can you move forward from one dream to the next.
But time is running out. Dr. Lucy’s alarm will ring in just 60 minutes, and if she wakes up while you’re still inside her head, you’ll be stuck in her dreams forever. Work together as a team, journey through all five dreams, and make your escape before it’s too late!

We really struggled with this room. There is a very limited amount of time in each part of the room and this room really lends itself to larger groups or very clever couples! There is a lot to do and failure to complete each part means less information for the final room. That said theming is impressive as we have come to expect from Break Escape.
A huge thank you to the all round good egg that is Ant, our GM. He has definitely mastered the art of placating frustrated roomers and his help and sense of humour definitely saved the day for us. He's a star ⭐
We enjoyed this style of game because it was lots of smaller rooms leading to the end game!
If you like a game where you can do multiple things at once, this is for you. The theming for each part of this room was very immersive, the clues were well signposted so it was not difficult to work out what to start on next. We did have a couple of clues but they were only to make sure we didn't go down a rabbit hole. Would recommend not less than 3.
there was plenty of puzzles , very original idea

This isn’t a typical, search every corner for items type of room. This is solve as many puzzles as you can in the time and get rewarded for those that you do solve type of challenge. This means that even if you don’t do so well at the beginning, you still have a chance to progress to the end and “escape”!
Think of it as a Crystal Maze episode where you are all allowed to take on all the challenges in all four zones one after the other, where they open all the doors in each zone and the whole team just goes and works on all the puzzles simultaneously, obtains crystals (dreamkeys) for solving those puzzles, and then moves on to the next zone. The final zone (dream) is made easier the more puzzles you have solved, but you all get a chance to tackle it not matter how well you did.
It is worth spending about 12 minutes in each room, to maximize your chances, but you can move on if you do manage to get all 5 keys from that room earlier than that.
We collected 18 of the 20 keys and escaped in time, getting the second fastest time of any 3 person team to take on the Dreamscape!
Puzzle fans will love this one. It really is like a test of your puzzling skills as a team, and for everyone’s individual strengths. We had a Math whizz in our team who solved the number based puzzles in record time. Similarly I whizzed through the wordy ones, and together we did the logic and physical challenges.
Highly recommended for something a bit different, an immersive experience with a lot of laughs and clearly a room where the owners have thought outside the box and put a lot of time and effort into make something fantastical, varied and humorous that will have broad appeal. And they did just that!
The rooms were incredible – Dreamscape plays out like an escape room fan’s actual dream, with a huge volume of puzzles, all focussing on different strengths, and a great flow between each of the dreams! Each dream was so different from the previous and the types of puzzles in each room were SO cleverly tied into the feel of the dream you find yourself in. We spent most of the game working separately to try and tackle the volume of puzzles we were faced with – but we did come together a few times for some particularly tricky bits! We tried to separate according to our strengths (but in hindsight it was probably whoever got to the puzzle first! ).
