High Wycombe Escape Rooms: The Crazy Cat Lady

We loved the storey line, props made for the game and interactive part of this game. The puzzles were a bit borning, sometime illogical and a few to many padlocks. Also feels like it could do with a clean. I think this game would be best for a family. 

This room was quite different and very theme-driven. There were some cool touches, quite a lot of puzzles to get through, and a weird amount of rhyming. 

Excellent fun and immersive experience 

Lots of good in-theme puzzles with some of the Know Escape trademark activities thrown in for good measure. Another fun game and definitely harder than the title / difficulty rating may suggest! 

More of a traditional escape room. Good fun and always kept busy. Family friendly and accessible puzzles. 

The game was super fun! We went in with a 9-year-old who thoroughly enjoyed it too so it's very family suited and friendly. Well thought game, great clues, makes you think!!  Go for it 1000%

It was great fun and my 10 year old daughter loved it. The staff were professional, friendly and really engaged with my daughter. I highly recommend this game and Kingston Escape Rooms. Thank you to Robbie and the team for an excellent expirence.

A fun, lighthearted theme which makes a refreshing change.

You’ve promised The Crazy Cat Lady you’ll look after her cats while she is away.  In one hour she’ll be home and all six cats have been mischievous and are missing.  You have one hour to find the cats and get out of her house before she returns.

So first thing – theming on this room is excellent. It’s entirely cat obsessed, as one would expect from the title. There are a myriad of little touches that add to an experience of complete cat overwhelm. It’s very family friendly, with just one “jump scare” (more of a surprise, not horror).

This room does have a nice variety of on theme puzzles that blended with the theme, but was still relatively reliant on coded padlocks in a way that didn’t quite let everything flow. Some people may have accessibility issues with some of their puzzles.

One point to note is that Chesterfield Escape Rooms have a philosophy of including quite a lot of redundant information that plausibly could provide a solution to the clues. Ostensibly this is done to create authenticity. For larger groups, this is unlikely to be a major issue, since by dividing and conquering these can be relatively quickly eliminated. For smaller groups, it can be frustrating!

Overall a good room that should appeal to almost any group of players (although more than 4 would likely be too crowded).

What a fun room! The puzzles were surprisingly challenging and there are quite a lot of them but it was something that felt a bit different to the usual. We're cat people so naturally loved the theme and we tore through this room as a two (and it would be a bit cramped with a bigger team).

An amusing and accessible game

This is a very interesting room and a totally different theme to anything else we have seen.  It didnt 100% click with our brains and game play for some reason but there are lots of novel ideas and theming is good.  Not sure why I didnt love it, I just didnt feel we got it 100% for some reason.  But it was still enjoyable enough.

Great room for our 5 and 8 year olds. Fun story, great set and some original puzzles. A little frustration with 1 key not fitting a lock very easily but overall a great game!! 

Loved this a lot - really good fun, funny concept, plenty to do and lots of opportunities to laugh at yourself.

Such a great room, our hardest one yet, still undefeated but we ran this close so many clever little things, like the whole storybook thing and getting into the kitchen, loved it there was something for everyone to be doing all the time it was brilliant

Another humourus game from Gatwick Escapes. Don't play this company's games if you're not prepared to poke fun at yourselves and have a bit of a giggle.  I do prefer a larger room (not sure why as plenty was packed in) but if you need cheering up, this is a great light hearted fun game for all! 

Crazy Cat Lady was perfect for our family of two adults and two kids ages 8 and 11. We made it with just over a minute to spare! Really enjoyable and the challenge was pitched just right for all of us with such a variety of puzzles that everyone got a chance to shine. Really well thought out and great fun. We’ll be back for sure!

Solid if unspectacular game, overall good fun and well themed room, however, somewhat of an overuse of padlocks we felt which at times felt like we were solving puzzles for the sake of solving puzzles at times rather than to achieve the objective of the game.

A great way to spend an hour on a rainy Sunday afternoon.  Well set up, accessible to all age groups and our two teams of four had fun doing it.

Really great experience from hosting to details of the room and the story line. Great challenge and immersion. Would recommend!

Had a lot of fun finding Edna’s cats! Would recommend! Original & challenging! We just about managed it with 2 of us. Great hosting! Lot of fun!! Went back to do another escape room!

We did this escape room today. There were nine of us in the party. It was very good. First we were told to watch the safety video and then we were shown a video explaining the story behind the room. I loved it. It was a good experience overall. What could be better? 

We had one hour to escape. There were several locks that required someone to try to open them. Eventually we were able to access the kitchen and find all of the cats. At the end of the game, we posed for photos with one of the employees. The theme of the room was cats. 

We had to ask for help a few times. Apparently we were not the only team who needed assistance to escape the room and find the cats either. It was so much fun though.
