Really disappointed with this room- multiple puzzles broken, GM wasn't helpful and seemed to know about the broken puzzles but didn't warn us- her response was 'yeah that's just like that'. Not worth the money, there are much better ones to play in York.

This is good fun - I like that there are some more physical aspects than in most rooms. Lots of cool tech going on, and the host was nice (even though we didn't really need her).

value for moneybroken techquite easy
Feels like an attempt was made to be creative by not having any padlocks but it feels cheaply done with broken tech and a tacky set. Some of the puzzles were cool, but others either didn't work (items got stuck etc) or were super fiddly. Non-linear so good to split up and all work on something, but the space is kinda small. GM was enthusiastic and friendly
Not our usual kind of escape room - there are no padlocks in here and it's not linear. Quite a lot of tech and some quirky bits and bobs that were really good fun. The space is a tight squeeze but fine for two of us. Staff here are really nice and really enthusiastic, which always makes for a good experience.
A highly structured superhero mission with some great puzzles that were slightly marred by tech failures. In spite of that, I'd still highly recommend you head along and play - I still really enjoyed it with those failures and if you're lucky enough to avoid them then you'll have a great time.
Operation H.E.R.O. is an escape room with buckets of charm, and we had a great time playing it. It’s a great room for enthusiasts looking for a different challenge, or absolute beginners who may benefit from a little handholding, with a fun story to boot. It was definitely the right choice of room to try on our trip to York, and if our visit weren’t so short I’d have booked in to play their second room right away! So far I’ve personally played around half of all the escape rooms available in York, and Operation H.E.R.O. is my favourite.
