Great room with great hosting. A team of four seemed ideal. Not the most difficult room, bur also not particularly easy with some thinking requited. Highly recommended.

We had fun in this game, it’s nothing special, second part of the game felt very ‘worn’ with props having seen much better days. But you could tell it was built with passion, some basic and some clever puzzles which had our brains working. Liked the ‘clue system’ in the first part of the game and felt pretty immersed when ignoring the broken/worn props.

Had a great chat with the owners before this room, lovely hosts and passionate escape enthusiasts.  Good room, you've got to be prepared to make a dick of yourself dancing at the hosts expense. Sure they've seen some amusing games!

Great room, worth the visit. Just bare in mind it's not a polished looking as some of the other rooms I've Seen.

A fun, clever room that is enjoyable. The owners are amazing hosts and enthusiasts who were happy to chat and not rush you through. The game is well designed and themeing is part of the fun.

Loved playing this game, was so much fun, definitely a favourite! The theme and puzzles tie into each other really well and the game has a superb flow to it. The theme is very novel and there has clearly been a lot of thought and effort put into how the game and the puzzles work and fit together. Puzzle variety is really good too with a really nice balance between, tech, basic locks and the need to go through the things you find to get the right information, some nice moments of humour in the game too.

Reviews by escape room review sites

The final game in our schedule at Pressure Point was their 70s disco murder mystery, Murder on the Dancefloor. The winner of a dance competition has been murdered, and, as a group of disco stars yourselves, you decide to sneak into the dancehall and get to the bottom of what happened.

It's actually a game of two halves, with your first task being to find a way into the disco hall for your investigation. I'd describe that as a warm-up section, but it's more substantial than that. Whereas the lat...

An absolute joy to play. Interesting theme, beautiful execution, good, logical puzzles and plenty of humour thrown in. I don't know what Pressure Point's magic is, but they make games that just seem to flow really well and where you come out on a high.
Pressure Point have designed a special game, full of humour and clever puzzles, with a fantastic set and fun music, and we're just sad that we can’t play it again

It really was time to get our groove on with this 1970’s disco extravaganza. A team of four of us were feeling funky so we headed on down to Ashford to see what the noise was all about. Safe to say, we came away feeling as high as Simon Cowell’s waistband!
