A beautifully themed room. I much preferred the first half of the game to the second, we seemed to lose our thread in the second half but maybe that was just us being old and on our third room of the day! Lots to love in the decor especially for us as it was our era! Ending good but not as exciting as I had been expecting after reading other reviews. Great hosting from Sam.

What a great room! This one keeps you on your toes, guessing what's coming next all the way through. The whole space is very carefully put together and everything is there for a reason. Pay attention to instructions and question everything. The puzzles are great, very varied with lots of unique ideas and new twists on common puzzles too, which we absolutely loved. After playing all 5 of their rooms in one day here, this was our final room of the day and was definitely my favourite and most memorable room. Well worth a visit for everyone - regardless of whether youre a fan of the films, an experienced team, a novice team, a family or anyone else, you will find something to love in here.
My knowledge of classic 80s movies is clearly lacking, because it took me quite a few months after hearing of Outatime before I realised it’s inspired by Back To The Future.
As you’d expect from a time travel theme, this is a game that spans different settings. There are of course a great many nods to the movie, some subtle and some blatant, though I’d say that the majority of this game focuses on the movie’s setting more than on the movie’s plot. The premise here is that you’re lost in time a...
If you’re a fan of a certain 1985 film that features a DeLorean, a teen in a red gilet, and a 'doc', then look no further, you’ve found the room for you. Fun puzzles, a lovely set, and an ending that is one you’re sure to remember for a long time.
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.
