Lovely balance of puzzle types. Kept the 3 of us busy for 45 minutes. Small space so wouldn’t suggest teams any bigger than 3 in either room. Logical and a good flow to it all.

Excellent room, tough for 2 and kept us working right until the end.
Excellent variety of puzzles, and clever interactions throughout the room.
Fantastic hosting as per usual!
A lot of puzzles crammed into the game however. Found some of the signposting at times too close to other things. Really struggled to get into this game but that could be down to teething problems as we'd played it only the first few weeks of opening. Found the end goal wasn't clear enough

Excellent room, big variety of puzzles with good signposting and a fun plotline. Everything was clever and logical with plenty to do. Great mix of tech and padlocks, with great props to match the theme.Finished it in the fastest time but we had to really work to achieve it

Had quite high expectation of this room as, loved a recent trip to Bletchley park. I think there could of been more ties to enigma machines and possible morse code to tie it into Bletchley a bit more. The room itself had a lot of puzzles, especially for 2 people, but nothing that stood out massively.

An enjoyable room with a lot of fun to be had. Enjoyed the character briefing and puzzles. The space had been used quite well to create a sense of adventure in a small area and the game had a great flow to it. Definitely play this before it goes!
A good room, well themed and a great set. Some really interesting original puzzles, there was also a couple which we didn't really "get" and possibly didn't flow quite as well, but it was an enjoyable room.
A very densely packed space with a good number of puzzles and additional challenge beyond simply solving the puzzles presented. Very manageable as a 2 and there is plenty of opportunity to split up and work independently, a fun variety of puzzles, all of which fit very well with the theme
Superbly themed from the moment you enter the space, GM in character throughout added to the experience and made more enjoyable. Lots to do within the room as you are trying to achieve two objectives simultaneously (one of which is great for solvers of all ages and abilities).
I really liked the wide variety of puzzles used and how they were all in-keeping with the story and war theme. Lots of fun and would definitely recommend.
What a fantastic WW2-themed room! It's a fairly compact space but absolutely packed with gorgeous puzzles. The detail is superb and it was incredibly immersive. We really enjoyed the additional challenge element (no spoilers) and the combination of physical and logical puzzles really appealed to us.
David and Dan were both excellent hosts - we love it when there's a bit of acting involved!
Excellent game although the space is quite small so it's a great room to do with a small group. We had a fantastic Game Master as well which always helps make the experience.
Loved this room. Highly recommend. Great host -the whole time trap team are brilliant. The theming was fab and we were really impressed with the quantity and range of puzzles. Great room!

Yet another fantastic game from TimeTrap. I really enjoyed the espionage side to this room. The method in which we identified the infiltrator was unique and highly enjoyable. There were some great puzzles in this room and as you'd expect from TimeTrap it was wonderfully themed and deeply immersive. Definitely an easy recommendation.
Another immersive room packed full of high quality set design. We enjoyed the puzzles, especially as many felt quite different to others that we'd seen elsewhere. That's probably in large part thanks to the impressive and authentic-feeling props and implementation of the theme.
Our GM Verity was fantastic, only nudging us when we needed it, and adding character to the game. Fab room!
This was definitely a bit easier than the other TimeTrap games we played over a weekend (reflected in our time, no clues), but it's a lovely game - it looks fantastic, enjoyed the optional secondary goal to vary the difficulty a little and it all flowed very well. Recommend playing for the experience - good fun.
A nicely themed room with the option of a vs mode with 2 identical rooms. Some unique puzzles as well as fun extras such as colllecting tokens for points. Great hosts as always. Definitely recommend if you're in the area.
This has to be one of the best ERs I have ever played when it comes to flow of the room.
A load of thought has gone into how each puzzle progresses to the next - points where it was uncertain of what to do next were minimal.
This along with fantastic immersion (feel of the room is spot on for the location), makes for an excellent experience.
The decrypts were also a pleasant addition.
Not the hugest of space - would not go with a team of more than 4. If you have 6, then book out both rooms and go head to head.
Reviews by escape room review sites
Time Trap’s wartime game is based around Bletchley counter-espionage. Set in a railway station, it gives you the job of identifying which of seven suspects is a spy. You have an additional bonus mission - apparently the spy has hidden several cylinders of coded information around the station, and you’re to find as many of these as you can.
All Time Trap’s games boast high quality sets. Station X is I think the most authentic-feeling of theirs so far, perhaps because it’s set in a more recent ti...
A room that immerses you in the 1940s from the moment you arrive right through to the end of the game. It's a beautiful experience with fun puzzles, interesting interactions, a little bit of humour and some bonus content to keep enthusiasts busy.
TimeTrap have created an excellent experience with clever puzzles, excellent set design, and a massive amount of fun. I’m only disappointed that it took us so long to make it to Reading; Station X is one not to miss!
The room is a great room and very immersive. It has some great puzzles that match the theme of the room and the staff are so enthusiastic. Read our review for more information!
Like a good wine, TimeTrap improves with age. This, their fourth escape game, demonstrates a provider that has built on success, learned from errors, dreamed up new ideas and concepts of how an escape room should work, and put on an extremely enjoyable experience. You should go. Yes, you.
I mean, wow. Going up those stairs is legit like walking through a door into the past. Every element is perfectly in keeping with the room. In short – when can I go back to try one of their other rooms? Can it be, like, now?
