immersivestory-drivengreat hosting

This was our first escape room, and at the time the hosting was glorious. In the meantime, things might have changed but this room still holds a special place in my heart. 

The immersion is there, with 3 different parts to the room. Bear in mind that the immersion will remain proportional to the actual cost, so this isn't comparable to high-budget venues. Yet, for a room in central Birmingham, the immersion and puzzle flow is pretty good.  (or was in 2018)

There is a great diversity of puzzles, from sensory to logic and search, so this is an ideal room for beginners and families.

Such a clever and fun game with multiple themes throughout thanks to the time travel story line. 

Some great nostalgia in the first part of the game for my friend and I who are both 90's kids.

funnyimmersivegreat hosting

This was a good room. It was nostalgic, it was fun, it was very surprising. That's all great. The only reason I couldn't give it a 5 stars - minor spoiler alert here - there was no big fantastic ending. It was quite deflating, after all the fun we had had. If I could give 4.5, I would.

Fantastic room that I would recommend to anyone travelling to Birmingham. I can't say much without revealing anything but all the "eras" are really well polished. I thought the last "era" was not as good as the others but they were absolutely great, and some of the puzzles I have never seen before!
