originalvery easy

They removed some puzzles because we were a team of 2. They shouldn't have.

quite easy

I played with a 65 year old who had no idea of what an escape room was. Managed to escape with around 26/27 minutes remaining after completing all of the puzzles myself. Very easy room for experienced players but great for newbies. Fun little elements within. Single room. Maybe has potential for a secret revealed room to add a little wow element but that’s me being picky.

great hostingfamily friendlyquite easy

Although more geared towards beginners and families we still had fun. The hosts are always welcoming and the room flowed well with a mix of puzzles and a nice ending.

Come Fly with Amy

At Christmastime, it's back to Hull for an escape on home turf.

Story

Sent back to the 1920s only to be trapped in Amy Johnson’s study, you’ve got an hour to find your way out. I love escape rooms with links to the local area, and so the fact that this one is inspired by Hull’s own pilot who became the first woman to fly solo from London to Australia ticked the box for me.

Puzzles

A mixture of dead-easy and slightly more convoluted travel-themed puzzles to fit in with the story. The final puzzle results in one of the cutest ends to an escape room ever.

Mise-en-scène

Charming and nostalgic, it did feel like we’d gone back in time, especially with the old-fashioned, muffled radio playing in the background. A study is a simple setting, but this one was evocative and well-designed.

Final Comments

An endearing escape. I totally agree with the info on their website: it’s great for first timers and families.

Reviews by escape room review sites

A fun but simple room with lots of logical puzzles. For me, it's a great game for introducing players to the genre but enthusiasts should probably steer clear as it won't present much of a challenge.
