EO Escape Rooms: Captive

We played this room a couple of years ago, but I can still remember parts like it was yesterday. This was our first room played at EO and it did not disappoint. The story telling and immersion was like nothing I had experienced prior or since playing Captive. 

Really fun and interactive room with lots of clever puzzles. The room allows for multiple puzzles to be solved at once which is great for bigger teams. Puzzles were challenging but very solvable. Deffinately would recommended. 

Fab room - well laid out. Plenty to do and so different to any other room we have played. Team work needed to escape in time. Kelly was a great host as always.

Came back for our second visit to EO and loved it! We played as a four and laughed the whole way through. The hosting was brilliant, and Kelly helped calm down one of our team members who was nervous, which really helped her feel like she could join in in the game. 

Another top game from EO, great start to the game requiring teamwork to progress with some intricate puzzles and a real sense of adventure on the way leading to a dramatic final escape!! Yet again Kelly was an absolute please as a GM

The split start to this room elevates this room from a good captive room to something special.  Well themed puzzles and a great game flow makes this room excellent. Also making one of our team scream like a girl was a bonus! 

A cool start to the room which required great communication. We are still kicking ourselves over what we missed (haha!). The room flows well and there’s plenty to do for everyone so we had a nice balance between working together and working separately. Some unique moments! 

Great game, loved the split start especially as it wasn’t the usual “split for 2 puzzles” but actually meant we were separated for over 20 minutes. Really fun room full of puzzles, including some I haven’t seen anywhere else! Great hosting from Kelly as always, looking forward to the next ones! 

Best version of a split start that I've played. Clever puzzles and use of the communication skill throughout. Enjoyable game from start to finish with a superb host, Kelly!

Ah, the old taken prisoner cliché, it's a classic trope among Escape Rooms and it's endearing popularity means there's a lot of them out there.  This game (as mentioned on the website) does start with you blindfolded, guided into position and one hand cuffed to the wall.  This is a split start game so you have to work with your teammates in the other cell to affect your release.  This is one of the better split starts I've played and you also don't get the handcuff key straight away like some places (I like to fight for my freedom!)  What follows is a very clever path to your eventual freedom featuring some puzzles enthusiasts may well be familiar with but putting some clever spins on them.  Like other games here, the puzzles are a mixture of logic and physical.

This room is fantastic - and really enforces good teamwork and communication. We particularly appreciated the original starting arrangement. Our GM was friendly and enthusiastic, and the room had all-round good polish, production, and puzzle flow.

Great room! (With spiders!) 

Clever split start to the game, it’s challenging to play as a two at the start and needs very good communication. Packed full of puzzles. We loved it and I’m so glad we got to play it before it went.

Thanks as always to Kelly for amazing hosting.

Team work is the key to this one. The starting position is original and good communication will be required to move onto the mid game in good time.

Very good room with immersive theme. Enjoyed playing this, involved a lot of communication.
