Great experience for experienced escapist. Very classical and a lot of focus on the puzzles which were all quite clever without being illogical.
A lovely WWII room with lots of fairly easy small puzzles that make it fun the entire time. Lots of puzzles are very original, and there’s lots and lots of them!
Very fun room and very well themed to the war. Our host was excellent and we enjoyed his chat. Very knowledgeable.
The room was great…we were sceptical at first but I very much enjoyed the “barrel door” but the 2nd part of the room was great. The array of puzzles kept us on our toes and I enjoyed the linear feel of them. Some very clever puzzles.
Great room, just enough for 6 of us! Definitely worth visiting

There are any number of games set in WW2, but I’d hazard none others that share the premise of Roll Out The Barrel: set immediately after the end of the war, you’re trying to break into the officers’ mess to get at their private stash of booze, all the better to celebrate victory. Your goal is a literal barrel, and barrels are used throughout as a motif along with the more obvious wartime decor and 1940s theming.

For a game set during World War II… It’s surprisingly light hearted and funny! But wait, I’m getting ahead of myself. Roll Out the Barrel isn’t technically set during World War II. It’s set the day after. Your mission? Throw the best party for the troops you possibly can. Everyone knows the best parties involve obscene amounts of booze which is why three intrepid troops and myself just broke into our officer’s top secret bar cabin to steal all their barrels. It’s party time!!
