This was potentially the most fun we have had in an escape room. It may not be the best room we have ever done, but it was certainly up there because it was just so much fun! Olive's contagious energy had us buzzing before we even got into the building. It was colourful, exciting, and downright random. As for the puzzles, there was lots going on. Its a 2 puzzles at a time kind of room, so with 4 of us we spilt into pairs well and there was plenty to keep all of us busy the entire time. The puzzles are varied enough and the gameshow twist on the typical format kept everything feeling fresh. There is a great variety of lock types, so not just all keys, like some cash grab style games tend to stick to. Well worth a visit!

Game number two of the day and it smashed expectations. Brilliantly designed such that you always have something to do, and from the information given to us by Jamie, it's rare a team will get through everything available in the room. 3 felt like a good number, but an extra pair of eyes would not have gone amiss. Everything was signposted just the right amount, and the story felt a part of the room in terms of the puzzles.
Jamie was a brilliant producer of the show, and more than did justice to the show with his suit jacket (if you know, you know).

Probably the best escape room we've done to date. It's the only one we've ever done not 2 of us, and it lent itself perfectly to newbies. The nature of the room means it's a collection of mini challenges, meaning you never get stuck for long and can try something different throughout. The hosting was excellent- outfits and silliness made it even more fun. MUST DO. Room 15 for us!

This is a fabulous game and worth the trip to Worthing! You are participants in a game show where the objective is to win the most money (or is it...) This is a puzzle fest but each puzzle is chosen for you at random, complete that one and move onto the next, you can be working on multiple puzzles at once as some puzzles are really only solvable by one person.
Our host was Olive who was excellent throughout and kept up the suitable frenetic energy continuously. This may not be the best puzzle fest game but it's very much worth your time with a fun spin on a format.

A very well executed "collection" game. Well worth the travel to visit.


What a game! Stacks to do, well-designed puzzles and soooo much fun!
We loved the concept, loved the hosting, loved the wacky hullabaloo of the whole experience; it's a puzzle-fest that will result in a slightly different game every time you play and I'd happily walk right back in and play it all over again.
