Fairly straightforward game, few observational errors on our part and a puzzle we feel may require outside knowledge

quite easy

Good game, which I played with 6 and 7 year old daughters and first timer wife. Not too difficult. Couple of puzzles need explaining. Quite a sarcastic host

Seemed a bit illogical, hosting and theme was good but some of the puzzles were a bit confusing and we were able to complete some without actually completing them!!!

The Egyptian escape room at the Escape Room Centre in Blackpool was a disappointing experience. The room and its contraptions were clearly dated, with a few illogical puzzles and, bizarrely, a clearly  used A4 sheet of paper being used for one puzzle. The overall experience was very poor, and I would not recommend this escape room to anyone.

It was a while ago I did this one, I remember it being ok but nothing special. There definitely isn't enough for 6 players to do, it should be advertised as 2-5. Some of the puzzles don't make a huge amount of sense, so it's difficult for a team to discuss them. The theme was implemented well enough to make it a bit of a giggle just being in the room.

The set design was cool and there were some decent puzzles although one of them seemed to be flawed as we were told it often breaks like it did during our escape.

Very good hosting by Fred, who made it a very enjoyable experience. This is not a lock and key room if you prefer that sort of escape. Not particularly challenging if you have some experience but would be great for beginners.

Enjoyable room. We had good fun and the host was great in character, however there was a lot of crawling about which isn't ideal for tall/less flexible people! Still, a minor blemish on an enjoyable hour

Reviews by escape room review sites

I'm writing this review more than two years after playing the TRAP rooms, so my memory is unreliable and they may have changed anyhow - the Bomb Room for one appears to no longer exist. Also, we played all four rooms in a crazy consecutive burst of enthusiasm, which makes it harder to remember which was which.

However, it's safe to say that the TRAP rooms were good mass-market escape rooms with more of a emphasis on physical puzzles, almost with a Crystal Maze feel. Everything's robustly design...

A fantastic room with good theming, some tough puzzles, fun mechanisms and a decent finale. Expect to have to exert yourself though!
The first room from our Cambridge double bill.
Given the β€˜crawling section’ warning, it’s no giveaway that there is more than one room here. We had a slow start in the first bit – the theming is excellent and there is lots to look at without there actually being many pointers where to start
A well themed and difficult room that suffers from a lack of clues and confirmation that you’re doing things correctly.
