As others have said Padlock Heavy. Very tired.

Pretty much the whole of this game was just trying codes over and over in different padlocks until you matched the right ones. No particularly memorable elements to this game but it was an ok play.

Parts of the game were broken and didn’t really follow much of a logic pattern! Disappointing!

One of the first ones I played. Is quite fun, as usual ClueHQ are very family friendly and this makes for a nice day out.Not too difficult and had some fun aspects. Nothing overly memorable though.

Quite padlock heavy, I counted around 18/19, some basic ideas the introduce the concept of escape rooms, seemed a little tired too.

We did escape, but more due to sheer dumb luck than any help the GM might have given. If he had given any help, that is... Not one of my favourites.

Reviews by escape room review sites

Outside the room I've been well aware of Clue HQ for a long time, partly because of their reputation of providing hard rooms, and partly because they first opened in Warrington, where I grew up. In fact, were it not for that reputation of providing tough rooms, I'd almost certainly have visited on a previous family

We visited this Clue HQ franchise at the Secret Nuclear Bunker in Brentwood. What a great place for a Nuclear Bunker themed escape room! The staff were friendly and there was the usual health and safety briefings.

This was the first room we did at Clue HQ Brentwood, and it left me feeling a little flat, was it a bad room? No, but it didn't fill me with joy either. The look of the room was OK, not spectacular, but it fit the bill, there were a couple of puzzles or hiding spots that I did not enjoy, one of which goes against what you are told in every other escape room, and therefore went unnoticed for some time. There were some positives, the theming was pretty good, and there were a few good puzzles, so, not too bad and still worth a visit at the right price, and if you are going to complete multiple rooms.
