Last year Joey the naughty elf was jailed for crimes against Christmas when he scattered all the children’s letters to Santa and he was sent packing by you guys to elf jail in the South Pole. Now, a year on, Joey has been rehabilitated and Santa wants him to return to work. But Joey has different ideas, he wants revenge!
Can you find Joey and bring him back for Santa just in time for Christmas or will Joey’s revenge get the better of you?

Another fantastic Christmas room by EO, this is my favourite Christmas room that EO have done. Lot's of different puzzles, well themed and as always Kelly the GM was fantastic. Always a pleasure to visit EO.

A flowchart as to whether you should play this game before it closes at the start of Feb: Do you like locks? If yes, play this room. If no; Do you like great puzzles; Yes - Play this room. No - What are you doing looking at escape rooms /s ? Now for the actual review bit:For a room transformed from captive in just 6 weeks, boy has Kelly and her team smashed it. An absolute metric ton worth of puzzles, all logical with the right level of signposting. The set was great and the room is actually bigger than its predecessor Captive by utilising a little extra space, which the team have done very well indeed. All set dressing felt in theme (apart from a couple of rogue red splatters from Captive on the ceiling but you need to leave nods to past rooms in there somewhere!) Now..... this is the part that really screams that this is a good room. One of the locks was left unlocked on the right code for our game. Mistakes happen. The fact that I looked around (knowing the code) and knew exactly how I would get to it straight away meant that it didn't hinder the experience at all. In other rooms this would have been a deal-breaker but not at EO. Let's be honest we all forgot about it anyway, that's how good the rooms are.Whilst none of us did a "Kelly" (and we need to make this a phrase known across the community, not just at EO!!!!), we had some d'oh moments but only due to our own fault of not seeing the obvious!Massive shout-out to Kelly, Kodi and Lily for hosting us, there's something lovely about your style of hosting which other locations miss - straight forward, to the point and friendly.

Taking the space from the old captive game, Joey's Revenge is a sequel to a Christmas game from last year that I didn't get chance to play. This is a fabulous game with lots of appropriately themed puzzles that should leave you with a wide grin on your face. There are multiple areas which allow for some non-linear gameplay and there is a combination of both padlock and technical solutions. Another great game from a company that really should be on any enthusiasts (or anyone really) radar to visit.

Another Fantastic escape room by Kelly and the team at EO. Kelly is such an amazing host and her passion for escape rooms is infectious!. We have played all rooms here and this one didn't disappoint. First escape room we had taken 2 kids under 6 to. Loads of fun imaginative puzzles which kept us all entertained. Would highly recommend.Well done!

We thoroughly enjoyed Letters to Santa - EO's Christmas game last year, so we were looking forward to going back this year for Joey's Revenge. The game certainly kept us busy with interesting puzzles requiring a lot of teamwork.
It was interesting to see the re-use of the space from Captive, the previous game, but if you'd not played it, you wouldn't be any the wiser.
As always, it was a pleasure to see Kelly and visit EO, and we look forward to coming back when their new games are open!

Absolutely brilliant once again! Kelly at EO shows why she is the GOAT of escape room Games Masters. We took the whole family (6 of us) and there was plenty for everyone to do. We really enjoyed it and are sad we have done all EO’s rooms, looking forward to when she creates the next new one so we can go back!

Another stellar game from EO. Well thought out, intuitive puzzles, great level of difficulty that anyone can play whether you've escape roomed before or not. Kelly and her team and highly recommended. Great hosts.
Yet another absolutely fabulous room from Kelly and the team. Our little one LOVED this game, so much she could do and get involved in (and who doesnt love an elf?) lot's of unique, fun puzzles again and I just love all of EO's games, they're all so different and fun you'll never leave disappointed.

Our first ever Christmas room and it did not disappoint! The theme follows on from last year's room which unfortunately we did not get around to playing (I am heartbroken to have missed an EO room) but we could still follow the story as Kelly the GM got us up to speed on what had happened previously so we could immerse ourselves into the magical Christmas room. The room was fairly straightforward but some puzzles were staring us in the face and we just couldn't figure them out. Great hosting, great theme, great puzzles. Spectacular room!
Always top games at EO! We’ve done all the games bar the new none Christmas one and are looking forward to doing that in January! Never disappointed and always leave wanting to go again straight after! 😁

Really enjoyed this Christmas room. Lots to do and everything made sense and was fun to complete. Fab hosting from Kelly as always. Would definitely recommend this room
First Christmas themed room we have played and it did not disappoint. Probably the most puzzles we’ve ever had to solve in one escape but all were superbly thought out.
Great room, family friendly and it really got me into the Christmas spirit
As always such a great experience. I always love coming to EO, this was such a fun Christmas escape room. Lots of puzzles and rooms to explore. Highly recommend.
Great escape room with a Christmas feel. Child friendly and brilliantly set up and the staff are amazing our host Kodi was brilliant. Will be back to play the other games. Highly recommend
Loved playing this with my family to get into the Christmas spirit! My 5yo has not stopped talking about it, although it kept us adults entertained and challenged too!! Amazing decorations that fully immerse you into the game!

This room was the most fun I’ve ever had, so much going on but the game had amazing momentum and progression. I’ve played all the rooms here and they keep getting better and better. This was a unique experience where you could split and still complete a lot! Absolutely incredible!!!
Very fun! Definitely puts you in the Christmas mood! Great hosting from Kelly and she was so lovely and made you feel very comfortable. Excellent for friends and family and any age range. Overall had an excellent time!
