We played as a group of 4, and have to say this is one of the best rooms at Xscape Now. The set design was really cool and a couple of original challenges made it a really fun experience. Although there were quite a few padlocks later in the experience this didn’t bother us as we were having such fun. 52 mins with 4 players but you could still do this with 2. Don’t miss it!

This was a lot of fun. It has the potential to be creepy but it's more of a fun take on Sweeney Todd rather than a scary one. The puzzles are meaty and delicious, with a smattering of gore and a pinch of challenge that made this a head-scratcher at times. Hosting here is excellent.

My first escape room and a great one to start on. Really enjoyed the theming and the hosts were brilliant.

Fabulous room with excellent theming and props, and friendly knowledgeable hosts. A wide variety of puzzles, with a mix of padlocks and tech, and all very logical and well-signposted without being obvious.

Managed to get the fastest time for a team of 3 and didn’t need any clues, but still felt challenged. Highly recommended

Our 200th Room!! And a very good choice! We are huge fans of traditional escape rooms with plenty of locks and puzzles, so this room did not disappoint! Definitely worth a visit (even if you are scaredy-cats like us!) - the "creep-factor" was just enough to immerse you but still allow you to make your way through the room!!

I love a Sweeny Todd themed room! Some cool but scary tech in this room. Would definitely recommend

Reviews by escape room review sites

A ’fun’ take on the rather grim Sweeney Todd story. Decent puzzles, good design, and a good flow. We struggled, but we’re not really sure why
