great hostingfamily friendly

Good, solid, family-friendly escape room if a bit unoriginal.

The whole experience was excellent though, in no part due to the perfect host: Kieran. Unlike many hosts he threw himself into the part and was rapidly on hand with the odd clue or where the tech failed.

Two things stop this being a 5 star review: firstly, a few of the locks and tech were just a bit tempramental and we easily wasted 5-10 mins just getting stuff to work; secondly, whilst it was atospheric, it was a bit pedestrian in terms of puzzle design and lacked any real story or logical progression.
That said, we had a great time and will definitely try the other games there,
