Fantastic fun room with an array of puzzles in a much smaller space than their other room. Flowed beautifully and we didn’t need any clues to only just finish within time.
Again, like Citadel, there’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.

It’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 ‘aha’ 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. Doesn’t take itself too seriously. Needed some hints here and there, so kept us on track. Great team and team original game.

Dr. Incognito's Secret Lair is a must for escape room enthusiasts. With its whimsical and playful setting, creative, clever and engaging puzzles, this room delivers a fun and unforgettable experience, that offers something for everyone.
Loved this room!! Such a clever use of space. Loved the interaction and the hosts were brilliant. Great mix of locks/tech and some great original puzzles
This room felt quite kid-centred - for example the art style and some of the interactive puzzles. That said this room kept us nice and busy with lots to find and try out. We took some friends who hadn’t been to an escape room before and while we all enjoyed it I don’t think it would be my preferred introduction to escaping in general. The team were very friendly and it was a well-thought out room. It just wasn’t our favourite personally.
A clever room with far more to it than first appears. We felt like a little bit more signposting wouldn't go amiss but we really enjoyed the additional challenge, which made it a fun room that would be great for families with children.
Absolutely loved this! One of my favourite rooms ever; so well designed, amazing variety of puzzle formats and really great theming which made it great fun! Loved the extra mission element and the hosting/clue system was brilliant. Always felt like we had something to do and were never at a loss of what to do next.
A fun concept with a good array and amount of puzzles, there's an added element to the game that's not quite to my taste as it seemed to (purposefully, it was their design intent) break up the flow. Some will like this feature, especially families with kids.
Just an excellent room packed densely with fun puzzles. I preferred this to the Citadel, but that is also awesome. Escape Nation should be on every enthusiast's radar.
A super fun and original game. Puzzles were inventive and well signposted without being obvious. Theming and props were excellent. GM was very on it and really friendly. Enjoyed a couple of the unique features of this game that kept the tension high. Get this venue on your to-play list as their games are fantastic and clearly made by people who love escape rooms.
One of the most original games ever! So much fun, really immersive and great hosting. The clue system is wholly original as well! Loads to do but we never felt too swamped.
Incognito opened not long after my first visit to Escape Nation, and I’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.
