After a previous not great experience at a different branch; We maybe wouldn't have gone to this (national chain) company under normal circumstances; however, they have an offer in the school holidays, where you can take one child free, if two people pay.  And then you get a discounted (29.99) game if you do 4 games with them 

Plenty of reviews for this company say "Broken Tech" thankfully we were absolutely fine, but I can see why that may be an issue sometimes as this room did seem quite tech heavy. So a lot to potentially go wrong? 

However with two children in tow this tech element was quite good as all the flashing lights, bright colours, buttons to press etc were good at holding their attention, there was never a dull moment, and a really great pace. 

Interesting to do a room with no padlocks. It's still mainly along the lines of getting 4 letter codes etc 

However I did feel the puzzles were really good, inventive, engaging and logical 

It's quite a small space, with no opportunity to spread out and I personally wouldn't recommend 6 people stuffed in here. 

Plus I'm not sure if their ventilation / air con was working properly, but on a warm August day I was drenched in sweat.

 But I probably needed the exercise. Zoé was a good host.   

Overall it was a really good experience.

A lovely set and nice change to do a room with no padlocks. It's a non-linear room with plenty of different puzzles to be done which should make it great for bugger teams.

Problem is, its a bit easy. We did it with 2 adults and an 8 year old and got out with 16 minutes to spare. An enjoyable game and some fun puzzles but no magic moments.

We also came across some broken tech and were told "this specific part doesn't usually break, it's a few other parts that often don't work"

A good non linear room with a wide variety of puzzles with no padlocks. We really enjoyed it and the set design was spot on.

Played as a 3 generation family group. Teenagers really enjoyed the high tech aspects of the game. Host was very friendly.

A great room, I wouldn’t recommend for a beginner but a good mid level room. Nice few bits of tech and great hosting but as with Warrington Clue HQ it’s a arrive play then go it’s not anywhere to wait to greet friends etc

Interstellar was the second game we played at Trapped In with a sci-fi theme, and the difference was remarkable. Where Time Machine used silver foil and spare electronics as decoration, Interstellar is in a different league. Though not up to Hollywood movie set levels, it presents a thoroughly credible starship interior; and it uses a simple but remarkably successful effect making it feel far larger than it actually is. I also appreciated the way they’d chosen a flooring that completely looked t...

A thoroughly polished game that I'd put right up there as one of the best in the North West. Looks beautiful, lots of puzzles and a very good structure to the game is topped off by a finale that felt it was taken straight from Star Trek.
An immersive and exciting game, filled with physical puzzles and finished off with a high paced final dash around the room. Highly recommended.
