You find yourself in Nottingham’s Narrowmarsh, a cramped, smelly slum rife with criminal activity. The local constable has found you at the site of a Reform Bill riot where a local pub was set ablaze. You have been accused of a crime - if found guilty, the punishment is hanging.
Over the course of an hour, you and your team will move through our Grade II* listed Georgian museum, from the slums of Narrowmarsh, the exercise yard, and the gaol. Solve puzzles, and gather your evidence before deciding – will you stand trial and try to prove your innocence, or will you try to escape your fate?

Nit a typical escape room, but they did well with the space and the narrative. Skipped a puzzle here and there as we managed to find things before they led to it, but all in all, a fun time!
Interesting game, loved the setting - a very large space with times where you even go outside. There was a lack of puzzles in this game as it was clear that its not usually an escape room (museum), so lots of information to do with the gallery was irrelevant to the puzzles and therefore confused us a lot!
Clearly school groups roam this area often as we found lots of words like 'poo' and 'you smell' written in chalk pencil which could've probably been rubbed out lol!
No cctv in this game so the game host was inside the room with us - first time ive done a room like this and it was a little off-putting, but she soon warmed into her character and it was quite comical!
Our two hosts were really lovely so couldn't fault them at all, but this game had so much potential with all the nooks and crannies in the rooms.
A great setting for an escape room!
A bit confusing initially due to the room being retrofitted into a museum (meaning a lot of sections of writing/points of interest that had nothing to do with the room itself), but fantastic hosting and a good range of puzzles made it a really unique experience.

Overall, I enjoyed playing Guilty?! a lot. Is it a perfect escape room? Absolutely not. But what it does do, it does well. It’s probably my favourite museum-escape room crossover, and everyone involved in the production should be very proud. It had such fantastic set design, brilliant acting, and a well thought out storyline to follow. We finished it in a little over 40 minutes with no clues, but had we not accidentally skipped a puzzle or two we might have been a bit longer and pushed it to 60. So bear it in mind if you decide to play!
