Nice use of projection and height to create an eerie feeling within the room. One intense jump scare but the rest was OK. Fun puzzles and range of tech too. The ending was really enjoyable!

. It was such a fun experience- we played the mystery manor and Jack was our host. He was so kind and knew everything and every instruction bang on point, making our experience feel unreal! We will definitely be coming back soon.

The second room we played at LevelUp, there's a few options you can select when booking and we went for the Pro mode with Enhanced Theatrics. I'm often concerned that games with multiple difficulty levels can leave behind red herrings of clues for different modes but this game dealt with it well, I was never led astray. 

In both the rooms we played I enjoyed how there were some subtle nudges to point you in the right direction by way of lighting changes or gentle audio cues. It's something I've seen lots of places ignore but when done correctly, as they've done here, it just makes the game flow nicely (it also stops our ego's from being hurt by needing a more obvious clue!).

This room was all about the theatrics with a lovely set design and some pretty clever tech leading to some jumpscares that really got us, although we were asking for it after booking Enhanced Theatrics! Less padlock orientated than the other game we played with some varied methods for entering codes which I enjoy.

Wasn’t for us. Had to be told throughout what had unlocked/opened so lost immersion.

The game that seems to have put LevelUp on the map is Shrewsbury Express (and rightly so). But all of the games at this venue are worth playing. Mystery Manor is a fun game for families and enthusiasts alike and I think we’d be hearing a lot more praise for this venue as people start venturing to Shrewsbury.
