This room has just become my all time favourite! Right up there at no.1 (sorry Daylight Robbery).
Iâve heard of this room within enthusiast groups and boy did it deliver! And it deserves every bit of recognition that it is receiving!
Completely non linear and crammed full of every type of puzzle from math to logic, search and find to physical. A great end game (I wonât give too much away).
The room is HUGE and certainly doesnât have that feel of claustrophobia (unlike a real submarine). The build and set is stunningly âsimpleâ (if thatâs the right word)
We escaped as a team of 2, collecting all loot bags within the hire, and didnât stop for the entire time we were inside.
I cannot praise the room highly enough! Itâs a must for enthusiasts and âgeneral playersâ alike! You wonât regret it.
Very original concept and such an exciting game to play. Tons of puzzles and great hosts.
So many things to do - claim as much treasure as you can in one hour. We (understandably) did not do the whole lots playing as a two but we certainly had a great time! Absolutely worth a play.
As our first collection type game, we really enjoyed the different take on an escape room.
However, we played as a team of two, and there was a certain aspect in the game which would make completing the game on unattainable. However this aspect was swapped out during our gameplay which made it a little easier.
After playing a few other collectible games in the UK, I would still recommend you UI 55 but you can now tell this was one of the first as other companies have built on different aspects.
One of the best games I've ever played. So much to do, so well themed...absolutely brilliant room that I could recommend to everyone who has ever played an escape game.

Of Compendiumâs (currently) four games, UI-55 stands apart, right near the top of enthusiastsâ rankings for best U.K. games. Itâs also very different in style: where the others are well suited for an experienced pair, UI-55 is a score-based game where youâll probably want at least three if not four, if youâre aiming to get through anything like all of it.
With my usual disregard for the finer points of the plot, Iâd boil this one down to: youâre on a submarine, thereâs a bunch of loot, get as m...
This is a short review because the verdict is simple. This is a must-play room, and we are awarding it our highest award; The Badge of Honour.
