Terrific room - probably in my top 5. Amazing story, immersed from the very first second, clever puzzles - some of which I've not seen in any other escape rooms. Loved it.

We went to Lucardo Rawtenstall by chance when driving through the town on our way home. It was pleasant surprise as they added to their room an aspect I've never seen before in 60+ rooms. I can't give it away, you'll have to go yourself to see it. This is the main reason why I gave 5 stars, the rest of the room was pretty spot on too and the two guys in charge of the venue are very passionate. We escaped in 49:50 minutes in a team of 2.

Well themed and with an intriguing story line, some clever puzzles all strung together quite logically even though one looked initially quite daunting.

A fun room, the hosts help immerse you in the experience, as they also do with Dragon’s Heart. Some clever puzzles here, if maybe a little padlock heavy.

An original take on a common theme, the space used was well-incorporated too. Would recommend but not to a group larger than 3 as space is a bit lacking.

Fully immersive experience,  games hosting is on point with this.

Nice use of space and props. Very thematic.

We always feel welcome and at ease here so will definitely be returning to play Treason.

Overall a fun game with some great puzzles that really make you think.

As a team of 4 we found that everyone always had things they could be getting on with.

I enjoyed the unique objective of the game (which I won't spoil), but it was a fun twist on your usual escape room format.

Our game host was occupied running 2 games at the same time and in the latter half of the game we did wait 6 minutes for a hint and had to first inform the GM where we were up to which put a bit of a damper on our game.

A very practical, hands-on kind of game that had some really great physical puzzles and a different kind of take on a popular theme. For us, we didn't quite gel with this one as it required a lot of searching (not our strong point!) but we did enjoy how the puzzles were constructed and the immersive acting element.

Reviews by escape room review sites

I’ve played plenty of escape rooms where I’d been falsely accused, and had to clear my name. Corruption takes a far more original approach by turning that premise on its head: you are guilty, and you’re urgently trying to sanitise all the incriminating evidence before the cops turn up and arrest you all.

That’s a distinctive and unusual idea for a game, and the way it’s designed is equally distinctive and unusual. With a variety of tricks (most of which I’ll avoid detailing here) the ven...

A refreshing room that showed padlocks don't hurt good games. With decent puzzles and an original start and finish, this stood out from the crowd to be one of my favourite games in the area.
Lucardo have hit it out of the park once again. Corruption was full of fantastic puzzles, immersive touches, and all surrounded by a fantastic set. Prison in Manchester used to be my favourite Lucardo game, but this one may have surpassed it.
A really unique and theatrical game packed with puzzles and atmosphere. Extremely unique amongst the games we’ve played and highly recommended.
