Pushed for Time is an episodic Escape Room Adventure that starts in front of an abandoned elevator in an old Parisian hotel. You're here, recruited by Riditure & Co., to trace the disappearance of their salvage engineers. Stuffed in the walls of the elevator, you find some blueprints not seen since 1925. As you investigate the plans, you realise that the only way forwards is back!

A really fun room different from any time travel I’ve done before and as a result very cool - was particularly fun to choose your own music during the game - definitely recommend using this functionality when you’re in the Time Machine.
Puzzles were all great and logical and used some mechanisms I’ve never seen before so again pretty cool.

The idea/concept behind this is great and the build quality is exceptional. Really nicely themed room and well GM'd. I personally did'nt gel with the first third of the game but the others with me all loved it.

We would rate this room in out top three out of around 150+ we have done. The themeing is excellent and the gameplay really imaginative. The time machine is really quirky as are the puzzles.
Our game host Jacob was friendly and just as helpful as you need. He explained that the owner is a keen gamer himself and is keen to make sure that the experience is as good as he can make it for the teams.
Every time someone asks for London recommendations, there’s always a chorus of replies suggesting Escape Plan, and for good reason; it’s one of a very small number of London venues that consistently wins over experienced players as well as beginners. Pushed For Time is their fourth room, and the first one that departs from the WWII theming that links their others; instead it’s a time travel story, where you’re taking a possibly one-way trip to the 1920s.
Part of Escape Plan’s appeal is that the...
Escape Plan have outdone themselves once again, with another fantastic game that is full of unique puzzles, a captivating storyline, not to mention, some really fun mechanics
Overall, this is a really stand-out escape room experience. I’ve always been impressed with Escape Plan, and they’re usually the first company I recommend to visitors in London, but this time I felt like they really outdid themselves in making an escape room experience both serious and challenging and utterly fun and silly.
„Pushed for Time“ von Escape Plan ist ein solider Escape Room mit abwechslungsreichen und kreativen Rätseln, die im Vordergrund stehen. Die Zeitmaschine ist gelungen umgesetzt, während die Atmosphäre der Settings etwas detaillierter hätte sein können. Dennoch überzeugt der Raum durch seine Rätselorientierung.
The City Adventurers were eager to play the new Escape Room Pushed for Time. Promising to be very different from other Escape Plan games, this one features a time machine disguised as a Parisian Art Deco elevator. With the tag line “Sometimes the only way forwards is back… but which way will you choose?” we couldn’t wait to book.
