Most of their rooms are absolutely perfect for a team of 2, specially Taken! I would not recommend it for more than 3 players.

great hosting
I would need all of my particular set of skills as I was taken prisoner by the nicest possible GM. Needless to say this is a split start where one you starts locked up but you need to work together in order to escape. Nothing here will amaze you and (like most rooms here) there's one search puzzle I feel is a little harsh but the rest flows well and we had a great time.

The second game at Escape Ipswich (and also at various other branches of Escape around the country) has you investigating a serial killer, and inevitably you've found yourselves caught and in danger of becoming his next victims. Naturally this killer enjoys toying with his prisoners in the form of leaving them puzzles that they might be able to solve to escape.
Like the other game we played at the venue, there's not a great deal in the way of decor here. Forget dank basements, this serial kille...
Plenty of puzzles, a fair number of locks and good but very much IKEA-esque decoration. A perfectly reasonable game but with nothing to get very excited about.
