Really awesome room, where you enter the story as soon as you enter. It just shows how a little acting can make a room so much more exciting!
The puzzles were interesting and challenging for a team of two, and there were some really nice details and twists. We strongly recommend playing when in the area!

Absolutely loved this room! I’ve done a lot of rooms and this is quite possibly my best to date. Clever, great story, really immersive and believable. Just do it!

Strong immersion with this one, some really unusual moments and special bits. Good first outing only let down by a few odd choices of puzzles, hopeful for their future rooms!

I can't fault this room or our experience there. Ellen was a great host and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thank you.

I've never been as bemused by what seemed like a very plain intro to a room before. However, as you continue through the story of the room with a whole heap of differing puzzles I was really blown away. A real change from a lot of rooms we have done!

Ellen was an awesome host! The room was really fun, and it was really cool how the puzzles could be tweaked to make it more difficult as we went along

Two reset errors which the GM tried to laugh off. A mechanism that could have been quite cool failed to work properly which meant GM entering the room to fix, again as if it was funny to him. Could also hear him on his phone for some of the game.
Game was fine if a little confusing in places.

Tempo was a super fun escape room for myself, accompanied with a friend who didn't have  a good experience with escape rooms before.

Our host Ellen was delightful, as well as her great acting both at the beginning and end. Ellen gave us just the right amount of clues to direct us in the right direction when we were hitting a brick wall. 

Soundtrack choices from Ellen were also on point πŸ˜‰

I will be returning for their next escape room that they are currently building!

Really fun room, a good challenge but everything made sense and flowed nicely. A nice mix of thinking and physical contraptions. Our host Rob did a great job and was in character which added to the experience

What stood out for me was the originality of the puzzles here- it is obviously designed by enthusiasts. There were lots that I’d never seen before.

Great hosting, and one of my all time favourites.

This was an excellent escape room. I've done around 20-30 escape rooms now and this was 1 of the best. Great, original puzzles. Ones I'd never seen before. Several different areas to discover. Ellen the host was brilliant, very friendly and welcoming.

Our GM made this game. The storey started at the door and his acting was great. The game itself was good and had a variety of puzzles lots to get through as a team of 2, but we did find it a bit easy.

We've played a decent amount of escape games so finding one like this is such a treat. From the moment we walked in to the amazing building we were in the experience. Great scene-setting and then we were ushered into a room that bore little resemblance to any other games we've played. The high points were the consistently high logical nature of all the puzzles, the mix of puzzle types, the originality of the design and the non-linearity of the game allowing us to move back and forth without pinch points. The only real low point is that at the moment this is their only game and that's a real shame because if they can make a game as ingenious, imaginative and fun as this, they really should be making more of them.

Reviews by escape room review sites

We had heard good things about Tempo in Bath, and I’m pleased to say this game lived up to our expectations. Great story-telling, solid puzzles, and a really fun, and at times, whimsical set, makes this a definite reason to visit Bath.

Itss genius lies in its simplicity, it was still a room that had lots of discovery, fun twists and mind-bending tricks!

The mysterious LIFE Foundation claim to have discovered the key to eternal life. Potential candidates for the program are invited to their secret testing centre, where a lucky few may discover the truth. Our host, Rob, welcomed us in full character in a warm, if not slightly creepy way. I genuinely mean that as…
