You’ve been framed for a crime you didn’t commit, and you’re about to be sentenced to a lifetime in prison. You know that notorious criminal Danny Badd is responsible, but with only 60 minutes before you face the jury, you don’t have the resources to prove your innocence. Can you escape the top security Cell Block C and buy yourself some time or will you be locked away forever?

Underrated game. Lots of fun ideas and great puzzles (with one tortuous maths puzzle). Clue HQ venues do tend to vary in quality from site to site but Somerton, where are played this, is well maintained with free parking outside and friendly staff.

Once again, locked up in seperate cells you have to escape before the guard comes to take you to court in 60 minutes.  There's a lot to do in this room including a maths puzzle that they give you a calculator for!  A couple of logic puzzles but there's a lot to do so take a group of 3-4.

quite easy

Fun room, started blindfolded and then wow when it comes off, divided and unsure if you'll ever escape...but we did!

We haven't done many but this was the best ClueHQ room we've done so far. Good room design and only one annoying puzzle, not a bad way to spend an hour

As one of Clue HQ's older games, Cell Block C is available at over half a dozen locations around the country, and I had not rushed to try it on the assumption that its age meant it would be one of the company's less interesting offerings. But it neatly filled a gap in our day's schedule of escape rooms, and I was pleased to discover it actually stood up well to most of Clue HQ's newer escape rooms.

Imprisoned for a crime you didn't commit due to the machinations of Clue HQ's usual bad guy antag...

The mix of tech, mechanical challenges and maths-type puzzles is maybe a better fit for a younger generation, and the room would be easier with 3 players on-point
