Some might say this was quite easy.. it was certainly logical but we had quite a few 'doh!' moments that were totally fair and logical but we just.. missed them! And I personally like that as it's so much better than 'well how was I ever going to get that?!' which I've had many times before. Even if you do find the puzzles on the easier side, there are lots of them.
We needed 2 or 3 clues but these were excellently timed by the lovely games master which allowed us to take full advantage of our time in the room and escape with just over a minute to spare.

The room is very nicely designed, it takes you to a different timeline. The puzzles are fun and original. The Game Master was also great. Overall, great experience and I very recommend it.

The Cardiff Castle has quickly become one of my favourite escape games in Wales. With a beautiful set, wonderful a-ha moments and solid puzzles, it’s an instant win for me.
I’d hyped up the game quite a bit in my mind during lockdown, and I was delighted that it had exceeded my expectations.
If you enjoyed The Tomb and are looking for something a bit more challenging, The Cardiff Castle should be next on your list. But I think everyone will get a kick out of playing this room.
I’d recommend this game for groups of 2-3 (four maximum) as the rooms aren’t too big and bigger groups might step on one another’s toes.
This game is the closest to a Crystal Maze style experience you’re likely to get without going to the real deal. You’ll have a blast!
