For years you have been travelling the globe collecting ancient objects and artefacts, for the British museum, when one day you hear a story that couldnโ€™t possibly be true. Tales of secrets and mysteries, jewels and riches, and, a magical lamp that can alter the course of ones life in a dramatic way.At first you pass it off as an old folks tale, but the more you hear the story from different people, the more your curiosity takes over, and now you have arrived in the very market square that the stories originate from.An old lady tells you about the legend of Arabian Nights saying this is where the first secret was discovered, many people have tried to uncover them, yet nothing has been found, but the old lady claims that only one with a pure heart can discover such secrets, you have more questions, but before you have time to ask, the old lady has disappearedโ€ฆ

Another class act from Enigma. Less intuitive and less padlocks than Mafia, but a lot of fun and a really beautiful set up. Some beautiful nuances that made it really different. We loved this one!

Fantastic room which is the same standard as the brilliant enigma rooms in Hull. Some different puzzles which are really good and the room has excellent themeing.

This room convinced me to create an account just to tell everyone how great it was. Great story, fantastic variety in the puzzles and wonderful flow of the games. You can tell they've put great effort into maintaining the immersion in the room and the puzzles were good head scratches.

The only criticism is that sometimes the "warm white" lighting caused a bit of confusion with the colours on display in the puzzles but that's a VERY small nitpick

Amazingly designed Room! We really thought we stood in the middle of a Bazaar. Had some fun and original puzzles and I loved the way clues were delivered. I think the look of the room really drives the experience.

How do I begin to describe Arabian Nights? Wow! 47 rooms in and this is my new favourite.

It was incredibly well themed โ€“ the props, the music, the build, the atmosphere were all spot on. As, ahem, older escape room enthusiasts, itโ€™s testimony to the strength of the room that we actually more than once stopped and just went, WOW!

The puzzles and build of the room were all completely on theme โ€“ lots of exciting moments building up to a very satisfying climax. Several puzzles we had never come across before and the room is very light on padlocks which is always a bonus. This room is absolutely awesome, loved it from the second we stepped in. Very immersive and the clue system has to be one of the best weโ€™ve seen/heard.

I wouldnโ€™t hesitate to recommend this room to enthusiasts or beginners and I would bet that children would love it for the incredible attention to detail and visual delight.

Arabian nights looked beautiful, upon first impression in the marketplace, and later on exploring the caverns and cave of wonders. The attention to detail was excellent, with high-quality props, a fantastic soundtrack and even smells, giving the room a realistic and immersive feel. Absolutely top-notch.

The set and visuals are absolutely lovely, from the starting point in the cheerfully crowded market to the more mystical elements later on. Puzzle-wise, there are a few padlocks, but with plenty of magic woven in.
