As soon as you go down the smell of damp hits you. It’s pretty bad. Reconsider going if you have any breathing issues/sensory issues. 

The room itself was alright. I don’t understand the great reviews. Just a small room with brick texture and scrawled graffiti, one or two smart puzzles but mostly dull and unoriginal. 

Two endings which is kind of cool but it really is nothing to get excited about.

originalquite easy
A very good game with a cool theme and some fun puzzles. There were a couple of puzzles that felt timewasting - one in particular took 2 of our team nearly 15 minutes to solve - but the other puzzles were original, logical and well signposted. Liked the end and our GM Jamie showed us the alternative ending. Franksy is a lot of fun and you're bound to enjoy playing

This game is incredible. The owner told us about her plans for this game as we had completed both her other rooms, I waited until it went live and was not disappointed her passion for escape rooms shows through in this game! The puzzles are challenging, very hands on and original. I would recommend this game to anyone.

We were trialling this room, so things may have changed slightly. Amazing theming and genuinely unique puzzles. Great story line. Never knew what was coming next. Don't miss this one! 

Reviews by escape room review sites

Easily our favourite game at U-Escape. Franksy has a unique theme, with unique puzzles, and great set design. This is by far the most challenging of games at this venue, especially if you complete it on the hardest setting, but it’s great fun and if you’re in Bournemouth get it booked!
