Fantastic fun room with an array of puzzles in a much smaller space than their other room. Flowed beautifully and we didnโ€™t need any clues to only just finish within time. 

Again, like Citadel, thereโ€™s a lot here for a two to do and we probably should have split up more than we did, but at least the way we did it meant we could experience each puzzle. 

The hosts were great and we look forward to coming back to try out their new room which opens next week.

Itโ€™s not often we manage to get through a room with no hints but this was one of those rare occasions. There is a lot to do but it all felt logical with several โ€˜ahaโ€™ moments and puzzles fitting together well. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and this was our favourite of the 2 rooms which we played back to back thanks to the wonderful hosting of Matt.

Fun room with lots to feast your eyes on. We prefer the their other room but has a family vibe to it. Doesnโ€™t take itself too seriously. Needed some hints here and there, so kept us on track. Great team and team original game.

Reviews by escape room review sites

Incognito opened not long after my first visit to Escape Nation, and Iโ€™ve been meaning to play it ever since, on the strength of their first room, so was delighted to finally get a chance.
This is a light hearted secret agent game, decorated in bright comic book colours with a distinctive art style. Your mission is to correctly identify the titular bad guy from his host of near-duplicates, something you can hopefully accomplish over the course of the game while also escaping.
In visuals and pl...
We chose Incognito's Secret Lair to be our 200th room, so no pressure. This room had a good mix of puzzles and we can easily see this being a family favourite (equally good as a two though!)

The atmosphere created in the room was incredible and somehow a sense of gravitas was created that underpinned the tongue in cheek nature of the game that just worked so very well.
