plain

Very plain room, not much physically there. The puzzles were rather strange, and it didn't seem to flow very well. They also thought we'd booked for a different game, so we had to wait while they prepared the room we'd actually booked.

Reviews by escape room review sites

The most stand-out thing about Da Vinci was how very typical it was, without either glaring flaws or many compelling reasons to choose it over another of London's games.

It uses a smallish room, with decent but simple decorations - lots of padlocked furniture with faux-bookshelf wallpaper. Puzzles are almost entirely linear, and make extensive use of laminated paper clues. The Masonic theme is followed consistently but with a great deal of escape room logic, and while none of the puzzles were t...

A solid but uninspiring game from the Escape franchise. While there were no big negatives in the room, ultimately there was nothing that got me excited.
Whilst Da Vinci is perhaps an overused theme, we warmed to this room quickly and found it the best of the three on the premises. Puzzles were just right for difficulty. Decent fun.
