Theming was on point, with a really nice balance of puzzles which allowed you to really enjoy the details of the room itself! Well done, fab room!

Oh this takes me back! It literally took my breath away when o walked in and I had to spend a good few minutes looking round at everything first. Accompanied by squeals of delight as we uncovered many original 80s treasures and identified nostalgia from the time. I almost forgot we were there to achieve our mission and wanted to just chill in the room reading and listening to the music (which we got to choose ourselves how cool is that!). But we got on with it and with only one brief time of feeling stuck we flowed freely through the game solving puzzles and finding creative ways to progress, before a clever reveal and, rather sadly having to return to modern times. Loved this room so much for the cleverness and attention to detail. This whole venue is superb, and the owners and GMs are fun, passionate and engaging. Strongly recommended!

We really enjoyed this room. Lots of original puzzles. Loved the theming of this room and we got to choose our very own soundtrack! Fun room.

We did this escape room as a family (with 13 &  15 year olds) and really enjoyed it. The 80s theme was really well done and there were some lovely touches that made the whole thing original (especially the soundtrack to the whole experience). As others have said, it's clear the designers here put a lot of thought and effort into it.

We will definitely be back to try the other two games.

This is probably the only room ive done (ive not done loads but enough to spot a trend) that actually looks like what it is supposed to be. They say its a 1980s teenagers bedroom, and thats exactly what it looks like. The music is great, the room is very well looked after. 

The whole thing is very padlock orientated, lots of codes and keys. A good ending too. 

Having said that, I feel it would be virtually impossible to finish this with zero help from the GM. There is some moments that are just so out there that I don't think you would ever work out how to start a puzzle without some guidance. 

Will be back for the other rooms soon.

The theming was brilliant 80s music (really lovely touch choose your own mix tape).

Some nice puzzles to challenge how you think. Several cool surprises.

Host was brilliant.

Enjoyed this and will be back.

Completed this game with hubby and our 12 and 8 year old daughters.  This was our 11th escape room and we all loved it!  It was very family friendly with many components that the girls could complete too.  One of our favourite escape rooms so far and the staff were very enthusiastic and friendly which is always a bonus.  Can't wait to try their other rooms!

Love what they've created in this game and the ability to choose the soundtrack to play to was a huge plus! Some really good, clever puzzles where a strong attention to detail helps. Very enthusiast friendly game.

We had a great time playing at this company, clearly ran by enthusiasts! It may not be mind blowing, but they do offer some really solid games. They definitely attempt to deliver an experience that enthusiasts will enjoy as well as cater to the general public. I wish them the best of success with their business and I think they deserve it.

A really enjoyable theme. Very slick and well maintained room. Loved the music. The use of tech was good in this room and thematically appropriate. The GM was clearly very passionate and wanted us to have the best experience possible. We will be back to do their other rooms.

Great value off peak first visit to Agent Brains - 80s theming and props were spot on and the option to choose your own mixtape of 80s music was an excellent touch.  Great hosting by enthusiasts - we'll be back to try the other two rooms soon! 

Reviews by escape room review sites

Agent Brains Escape Games has two locations a few minutes walk apart. Their main one, where this game is located, is on a super cute little street in Letchworth Garden City, a short walk from the train station. There are lots of coffee shops, restaurants, bars, and other stores aplenty to check out and fuel up before or after your game. There’s a nice little reception area, bathroom (with some quirky branding), absolutely lovely staff, and hooks in the rooms for your things.

I don't often give star ratings, but I definitely want to boost this exciting young venue, great fun and classy set.
