I was surprised as to how much I really enjoyed this game. I didn't know what to expect from a museum style game. However the puzzles in here was fantastic made me leave fancying a toffee penny.

Surprised by this game as I'd not heard much. Liked how it integrated local history into the puzzles and was very original. The puzzles are very good throughout and there's plenty to be getting on with - weren't so sure one of the final puzzles though, which felt a bit timewasting. You can tell it was an older room but overall it still delivers high quality gameplay that is unique and puzzle focussed.

This was our least favourite of the 3 that we had played at this venue at this point but still worth doing. A solid design with good puzzles and interesting set and props made a nice change. As always a friendly hosting that made for a fun room.
We loved that this was particular to Halifax! Great hosting from Sam, who clearly loves escape rooms as much as we do! Some lovely puzzles to get stuck into.

That might sound like an odd premise, less exciting than stopping a bomb or escaping from jail, but the result is not just a game that feels distinctive but one where you can feel the pride in the town’s history and ac...
A charming room and perfect for players who are looking for something that's perhaps a little more cultural and touristy than your average escape room.
Yes, there’s more to Halifax than just the bank and the Haligonian is the perfect place to learn about it while having a great time solving puzzles!
A game very much focused on puzzles, with a museum like setting that gives it a very different feel. Lots of fun and an interesting insight into the history of Halifax.
