We absolutely loved this game! Lots of creative puzzles including some we haven't seen before. It will likely keep you busy right up until the last second of the hour! I love physical puzzles and this room was great for that.
Would recommend for newbies, experienced escapers, couples, groups, families. Do ask about physical accessibility if you aren't sure.
Lee is a great host and we had loads of fun. We will be returning.

Really enjoyed the side quests in this one, and the puzzles are really engaging, although maybe a little mismatch with the theme sometimes. Also the set is not quite as immersive as it could be, but very good room apart from those niggles!
Escape Brum's new game, Labyrinth: Lord Barrington's Folly, is a pretty darn good escape game. It's a linear game, but there are many optional puzzles to collect and find. The linear game is a solid puzzling experience, using the labyrinth's unique plan, contraptions and elements for some unique and challenging puzzles. The open puzzles are even more difficult, and no clues are on offer for those. Despite only solving just over about half, we did enjoy the reveals at the end of what we missed.
Loads to do and some extremely clever puzzles, some damn near impossible to get but none unfair. As with most collection rooms, frustrating when you finish and find out what you missed, but thoroughly enjoyable and you'll fill an hour in there easily.
