Olly was a great host of this fantastic game. Really clever puzzles and an immersive story with some innovative technical elements.
Another brilliant room from EO, providing an original nautical take compared to the more common "pirate"-themed escape room, and great use of thematically-appropriate puzzles and props. Good puzzle flow combining classic observation, association, communication, and some nice mechanical elements, a few lovely moments of surprise, brilliant hosting. Great stuff.
A unique and incredible escape room. Many many happy memories were made in Castaway! Such a gem of an escape room.
A great room for family or friends. It’s A LOT of fun! Very clever and immersive. Wonderful hosting as always.
We love EO, this is our third escape room and Castaway is another clever puzzle from Kelly and the team. Thanks to Ben who was an excellent GM and made sure we were well immersed in the story. As ever it's a really fun room with a great theme and just the right degree of difficulty. Although our team was all adults, this would definitely be a good room for families. We'll definitely be back!
Fantastic room, full of great puzzles and loved the props! Kelly was a fantastic host too, and made us feel very welcome
We just completed the Castaway room at EO Escape in Sudbury and honestly, it was one of the best escape room experiences we’ve had.
The room itself was brilliantly designed immersive, clever, and perfectly challenging without ever feeling frustrating. Every puzzle flowed well into the next, and the whole experience kept us fully engaged from start to finish.
A huge part of what made it stand out, though, was our host, Sam. He was absolutely fantastic really funny, welcoming, and made everyone feel at ease straight away. His explanations were crystal clear, which meant we could jump straight into the game without any confusion. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does, and it made a big difference to the overall experience.
If you’re thinking of trying an escape room in Sudbury, this is 100% the place to go and if you get Sam as your host, you’re in for an even better time.
We’ll definitely be back!
What an incredibly joyful room. Full of great puzzles and wonderful surprises. I had a smile on my face the whole time. Love the way EO introduce each room with a video and then you’re right in there, in the thick of it. Loved the aesthetic of this room and all the puzzles felt satisfying. Highly recommend.
Kelly is so good at what she does and helped make this a delight. Utterly lovely person and passionate about her work.
Castaway is a great room for beginners and seasoned pros. It has a lovely flow of puzzles and there’s plenty of them. It’s one of the easier rooms we’ve done, but that could also be down to the fact we’ve done more now and are learning the ways of escape room puzzle design. But don’t let that put you off as it’s still a very enjoyable room.
The theming and build quality is what you’d expect from EO Escape Rooms. Well built, well designed and well run.
Always lovely to have Kelly as our Games Master, so passionate about escape rooms and puzzle design.
Great room. Strong recommendation.
We like the originality of the room’s design quirk.
One of the strongest positives for us was the fact the puzzles were very fair and logical with fair signposting of how to solve them. We got a little stuck at one point but that was due to us not looking properly. Some cool puzzle design features - the water based one was very clever!
Will be back to do the rest of the EO escape rooms.
