You and your team are members of an elite 'Bomb Disposal Unit'.
You are about to enter a flat above a bank in Blackpool believed to have been rented by Joseph Mendelson.
Mendelson, an ex bank employee, holds the bank responsible for ruining his life when in fact it was his own drinking and gambling addictions that lost him everything.
He is determined to do as much damage as possible and has already blown up two branches of the bank in nearby towns.
The flat is also known to be booby trapped, giving you just one hour to find the bomb, deactivate it and escape.

Sme very clever tech components and traditional puzzle elements which kept our brains working but never gave us much trouble. Nice little room if a little tired looking. Certainly one to play and enjoy at this brilliant location.
I'm writing this review more than two years after playing the TRAP rooms, so my memory is unreliable and they may have changed anyhow - the Bomb Room for one appears to no longer exist. Also, we played all four rooms in a crazy consecutive burst of enthusiasm, which makes it harder to remember which was which.
However, it's safe to say that the TRAP rooms were good mass-market escape rooms with more of a emphasis on physical puzzles, almost with a Crystal Maze feel. Everything's robustly design...
