This was a great room, and my favourite of the 3 (my partner preferred citadel).
The overall goal was original and a great concept. The puzzles were varied and plenty, with a great mixture of thinking and physical puzzles. We both enjoyed it immensely, would highly recommend
We played all three of this venues games, and we had such a blast doing them! Super friendly hosts/owners.
This game was my absolute favourite, but all three had amazing but subtle sign posting, which makes or breaks a room in my opinion.
We can't wait for their next installment, we'll 100% be coming back!
Fantastic escape room for a Team of 4! 2 Players having their first Escape Room experience and a very enjoyable room to start off with. Highly recommend if looking for an interactive room.
We’ve just finished a week of road tripping around doing some top-rated rooms; the hosts at another escape room recommended we detour to Stafford for this one, and it was absolutely worth going out of our way for! Lovely immersive setting, non-linear progression and some unusual and innovative puzzles with barely a padlock in sight. Loads to do for a team of 2.
This room is a must for any escape room enthusiast!
The high level of design, tech and story make this room a very fun, enjoyable and immersive experience.
There is lots to do and every puzzle is very well done.
The two guys who hosted us (who are also the owners/designers) are very welcoming and can tell are passionate about what they do.
Normally when a GM talks a lot about not using many padlocks, it often means the room falls short. That's not the case with this room at all! It has a jungle / Indiana Jones theme, with a small footprint, absolutely packed to the brim with puzzles! It was quite overwhelming, but in the best way possible. We loved this room, and it's now one that we recommend to everyone that we can!
Solve 4 major puzzles (made of lots of smaller puzzles) to escape, but you can continue and do the 8 major puzzles for full completion (we got all 8).
