We liked the first part of this room but the second part wasn't as good. There was a puzzle that was very heavy and my team mate had to complete it as I couldn't manouvere it. We also could have done with something to write notes on as there was a word puzzle which I was struggling to remember in my head. Bit of a let down
Could of been any kind of proffessor game, not very original.
I was super excited to finally play this room being a big Doctor Who fan but unfortunately left sorely disappointed. On entry, the room looked worn out and you could see signs of quick fixes which diminished quality. Throughout the game, we found puzzles didn’t make much sense or flow to each other, often needing to ask for a clue to point us in the right direction. A couple of puzzles had issues including the final step, which due to being broken meant be failed the room!
Considering it’s a licensed BBC game, I had hoped that the standard of the room quality would’ve at least been kept high but clearly not. Definitely draws people in on the premise and then fails to deliver.
On a side note, the hosts were both lovely and the venue is nice, just not the room for me!

While there are any number of escape rooms that carefully skirt intellectual property laws with thinly veiled 'homages' to popular franchises, fully licensed games are much rarer, and so it was with much fanfare that Escape Hunt announced their official Doctor Who game Worlds Collide. It differs from their other offerings in requiring at least three players and costing a higher ticket price. (I didn't see anything in the room that was impossible to do with two people, so if you're okay with the ...
I have to say I'm slightly ambivalent - on one hand, the room is filled with obvious and not-so-obvious references, including a few voice-overs by Jodie Whittaker herself. But as a room, it's not particularly impressive nor clever. Even the inventory control system is fairly basic - images are pasted directly in your team's shared Google Doc. The room "does the job", for sure, and the theme ensured I'd have a good time, but that was about it.
Can you help the Dr protect the universe???
