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.

Reviews by escape room review sites

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...
