Had a great time with the escape room, and just made it out on time! Honestly had no idea where the time went, totally immersive and nostalgic we did need a couple of hints but they were given quickly and were really helpful. Can’t recommend the friendly atmosphere enough, we were made so welcome and felt like we had another member of the team watching over us, will be back for more!

It was our first time at Rush Hour Escape Rooms and it was a fantastic experience. Due to availability we initially booked the Lost & Found Room but our Games Master Brett was very accomodating and actually gave us the option to pick the Game Over room instead if we wanted. So we switched and what a room, definitely one of our favourites of the escape rooms we've played. Won't mention any specifics for fear of spoilers but the game elements in addition to more traditional puzzles made for a really fun and entertainingly nostalic time. Our host Brett was brilliant and enthusiastic throughout - we're looking at availability for the other two rooms as we speak and we'll try and make the leaderboard this time!! Thanks Hour Glass Escape Rooms!
An absolute hoot. It's a split-start, which really adds to the difficulty level, so providing a nice challenge. The nostalgia value really contributes to the sense of fun in here and the well-designed puzzles flow very nicely. This was arguably our favourite game here at Rush Hour, purely based on the fun we had in here, as there are certainly some elements that we don't expect to see anywhere else. It was a winner for us!

This is such a fun room! Highly recommend giving this a go! We had quite a few "aha" moments which is always good! And some great nostalgic moments too 🙂

This was our favourite room at Rush Hour Escapes. The storyline was quite unique. We liked the element of being split up at the start. The puzzles varied from physical to mental, traditional padlocks to hi-tech elements. There were a few funny surprises too. Brett has really worked hard to make the rooms look smart and in keeping with the overall theme. We hope the team find their second site to allow them to expand and build more rooms.

This is a fabulous room. We had played the other two rooms on a previous visit to Rush Hour and returned with high hopes for Game Over. We were not disappointed. The theming and attention to detail in this room are second to none. So many clever references and ingenious puzzles that pull you in and keep you guessing. The ending is totally unexpected and a true 'wow'!! We have played the other two rooms here at Rush Hour on a previous visit and we are still arguing over the best of the 3. We seriously can't agree on which is best, they are all great rooms. Slightly sad to have played all 3 as Brett is a top host and GM and we wish all hosts were as good as him (after 43 games, we know some GM's can be a lot less fun!) Thank you Brett for another brilliant (wedding anniversary!) visit! You are a legend 🙂

The newest room at Rush Hour did not disappoint! The theming is well-done and had a great mix of physical and mental puzzles. Definitely a must play for all gaming fans.
