The Strategy: The Game Show

Now this one is an absolute winner! It's not an escape room in the sense that escaping isn't necessary and it's a collect-what-you-can situation but it does have all of the trappings and fun of an escape room and a puzzle-fest escape room at that. This room is - for us - proof of two truths: that family-run, independent escape rooms really do beat franchises hands-down and that the best escape rooms have excellent puzzles at their heart.

If you love padlocks, codes, running around frantically and cool little quirky things that you probably won't have seen before, this is an absolute choice. We used the entire hour to win enough stars to top the leaderboard, but we went right down to the last few seconds... What a superb way to spend 60 minutes!
