You will be transported back though the decades, you will need to work with your team to overcome several obstacles that are currently blocking your only path home! This room is ideal for a group of 4 people, although a family of 5 would be ok.

Thoroughly enjoyed my time in this room. Didn’t care how long we were taking - I was distracted by all the nostalgia hits. Amazing finish too! Beware some puzzles you can’t do right away. Loved it and the soundtrack.

Not my cuppa tea but seeing my 80s mad friends face constantly was amazing

Fun room with lots of subtle and, even more completely blatant, nods to the Back to the Future films. I especially loved the music in the kitchen, great for a bop around the room.  Great fun!

Wow what a room, one of our favourite escape rooms. If you can stop yourself boogying to the music you will find some clever original puzzles. Every stage just gets better and better. Absolutely lovely host (Mike). A must visit and we will return at our first opportunity. 

PS. Don't forget where you've left your walkie talkie 🙂

Another room shooting straight into my top 10! 

I’m a huge fan of the 60’s and 80’s and without knowing much about the room prior I was like a kid in a sweet shop playing through the game! I LOVED it. Some great fun puzzles all well themed and even more WOW moments with surprises round every corner. The end…. Very impressive. I won’t give too much away…

My absolute favourite escape room I have ever played. LOVED this room. I am a huge fan of the film franchise, so was excited anyways, however, you DONT have to be a fan to enjoy this room. It's great. With enough memorabilia and reference from the film, but none of it important to the game, so knowledge of the film isnt required. 
The soundtrack of this room is great, so much so, that when we couldnt figure out the clues we'd dance for  a bit before going back to them. 
EVERYTHING in this room was fun, and involved EVERYTHING I wanted, lots of things I expected, and so much more I didnt. 
Great room! Highly recommend!

Outatime is clearly inspired by a certain time-travelling film, and whilst not using anything outright from the film, it is a genuine homage to it, and very nicely done.

A must-visit for any Back To The Future fan. Not the hardest room that I’ve done in terms of complexity, but the sheer number of puzzles keep you busy. And the soundtrack and finale are some of the best I’ve seen at an escape room.
