After playing the newer rooms at Tulleys I was surprised at the amount of space in Outfitters that just wasn't used. Well themed puzzles but the whole mission seemed to be lacking somewhat against the other Tulleys rooms. Its a great room, and can hold its own against most of the UK rooms, but its surrounded by brilliance.
Great fun.
Good room, nice to find a Tulley's room suitable for two people
Played this on the same game as Mutiny and equally as challenging to complete as a 2, very happy to have done so as apparently more puzzles in this room than in Mutiny. As with the other room, great design and staging, a huge space in which to complete all the challenges.
This is a fun game, the main strength of which is the growing scale as the experience unfolds. Some of the puzzles were quite unique, but most were familiar and nothing that we hadn't seen elsewhere.
Unfortunately we felt the experience was let down by odd GM-ing. We were given confusing and unprompted clues at the wrong time (e.g. while solving an existing puzzle). It felt as if we were being hurried along, without even having a chance to look for and solve puzzles ourselves. One of the lock codes in the room had been set incorrectly, which staff confirmed when we reported it later. The GM didn't notice we'd punched in the right number and it wasn't opening - we only solved the lock by scrolling the final digit either side of the correct number, just in case. After the game ended we didn't get exact confirmation of our time, like you normally would.
It was hard not to compare it to the quality of the other game at Tulleys we've done, including one of our all time favourite games, Mutiny. Outfitters is probably normally a solid good room (7/10) but our specific experience was not great (6/10).
The GM hinted us a bit too quickly in this room and we wished we could have had a little more time to work on the puzzles ourselves. But another outstanding room from Tulleys.
2nd attempt as we failed to escape the first time
Fantastic room! Fully immersive theming, and great flow to the room. Feels really polished and professional. Do feel it could do with a couple of less puzzles as there was a lot to do. Only really escaped because we experienced it as part of an event and were paired with a group who were really experienced doing rooms.
Absolutely fantastic though and had a blast and want to experience all the other rooms at Tulleys.
Plenty to do as a two and soooo close to getting out just faltering on the final puzzle. Good for needing communication skills and plenty of puzzles to enjoy - probably don't need to be a larger group like might help with Dodge or Nethercott although you'd still need to work reasonably fast. Not the most original theme but good fun.
Seriously impressive. Wish we had been pre-warned the unlikelihood of 2 newbies escaping. Issues with understanding the clue “accent” it Lost us valuable time. Otherwise we would’ve given higher rating
I personally didnt click with this room. There are some puzzles I found to be odd and the final puzzle to me didnt work very well so I left feeling a bit underwhelmed.
Original and immersive. Take more than two if possible! Tulleys difficulty ratings are the only ones I’ve seen which take into account team size which is a good touch.
Our weakness is always overthinking and overlooking the obvious which came through at the start of the game.
Amazing. Definitely a favourite. Ed was a fantastic host.
Another beautiful set from Tulley's and another game that is stuffed full of puzzles. Adam was our GM and he did a great job of only giving us the odd clue when we'd missed something obvious (observation often being our downfall)!
It's a well-trodden theme but one we always really enjoy and this game offered some lovely stylised twists on the usual. Tulley's have the luxury of space so it's a roomy floor plan that helps with that sense of immersion.
It's clear to see that this is one of the original games as it isn't quite on the same scale as Dodge or Spellcraft. However, it is still a solid game. Great use of space and theming. Lots of hunting and gathering and many padlocks to unlock, which I personally enjoy a lot.
The use of light (or lack of) was a hindrance at a couple of points and was quite infuriating as it was too dark to see the letters on the padlock.
The hosting of the game was spot on. Attentive and helpful throughout.
Lovely rooms with a typical escape room feel. Fairly linear flow which didn't work well for our particular team as we like to solve multiple things at once. Nothing particularly outstanding here but still a fun room with lovely theming and great puzzles.
My third Tulleys game but first at Hatton. Really enjoyed this theming and so much to do and really original puzzles. Great hosting by Dee. Good for us as four adults and two children. Just escaped!!
Got mega stuck on pretty much the first puzzle of the game, but things went fairly smoothly after that.
Huge number of puzzles and very few hints meant we failed for the first time in 30 games...

The world of scare attractions is not one I'm particularly familiar with, but apparently Tulleys Farm is well known there for their Shocktober event every Halloween. They've now expanded into escape rooms as well, with two rooms now open; The Outfitters was the first one we tried, and it has a 1920s Prohibition setting. You're faced with a gentleman's clothing store suspected of being a front for a bootleg bar, and need to find your way in so you can bust the Mob owners.
As with many games, the...
Fantastic theming in this room and each reveal throughout was just perfection, we couldn’t think of anything it was missing and the result of course is that 10/10 you see for immersion.
A wide array of puzzles that kept us all busy the whole time we were in there and appealed to our various strengths, it’s one of those rooms where if you’re struggling on something call your team mates!
A really well designed room really fitting in with the theme, some tricky puzzles, but a really good variety of puzzles. 4 distinct sections which kept all 4 of us busy throughout. Thoroughly worth the visit.
One of the best rooms I’ve done, and definitely up there for difficulty. Bring along multiple friends – you won’t be short of puzzles to solve!
