When you begin to play our room escape game, you walk through a door and find yourself plunged into New Pelagia, an Orwellian dystopia full of suspense and suspicion. The people here are watched over by the love and grace of JCN, a huge pervasive computer and CCTV network. The government rations and controls everything to keep things tidy – there are rumours that sometimes people get tidied away too.
You are members of the underground resistance movement who are being sent to infiltrate the Ministry of Perception and find out what happened to a double agent who has mysteriously disappeared.

It is a tragedy that this room had to close after losing their venue, since it was probably my most highly recommended escape room - fingers crossed they manage to re-open somewhere else.
The immersion and attention to detail was at a whole different level. It was for larger teams, which is a harder design challenge, but all eight of us could get stuck into different parts of the room without it being awkward or leaving anyone standing around.
It had the most original and creatively themed hin...
A great room where every aspect of the game brings out the Big Brother dystopian universe in which it's set. From host to intro to theme to puzzles to finale, it's a wonderful experience.
So this is a weird one to write. Sometimes a game does what it set out to do so well, that you have to acknowledge that, while also noting that what it set out to do, you maybe didn’t like all that much. Enter the Oubliette are now closed, but I’d heard others rave about the room so much I really wanted to go and try it before it shut down. You need five people to get a private booking (although one of ours dropped out so we ended up with four) and none of the regulars could make it, so I pulled together a team of mostly newbies who hadn’t done many rooms before and off we went.
