Grimm Up North is yet another exceptional escape room that impresses from start to finish. The game is overflowing with a diverse array of puzzles, each one distinct and carefully crafted to keep you on your toes. The variety of challenges ensures that no two puzzles feel the same, providing a refreshing experience with each new task. Itโ€™s clear that a lot of thought has gone into the puzzle design, and that attention to detail shines through throughout the entire game.

Our group of five played together, knowing that this was a collection-style game, and we wanted to ensure we had the best chance of collecting everything the game had to offer. Between us, weโ€™ve collectively completed over 600 escape rooms, so we have quite a bit of experience under our belts. Even with all that experience, Grimm Up North still managed to keep all five of us engaged and busy, with each of us having something to do at all times. The game is designed in such a way that it encourages teamwork and communication, which made for an incredibly enjoyable and immersive experience.

Iโ€™m always a fan of escape rooms that offer both a main quest and side quests, as it truly makes you feel like you're getting your moneyโ€™s worth. It adds an extra layer of excitement, as youโ€™re never just working towards one singular goal. Thankfully, Grimm Up North delivers on this front in spades. 

The set design is simply stunning. It strikes the perfect balance between a polished, professional look and a charming, handmade quality that I absolutely adore. Itโ€™s evident from the moment you step into the room that the designers and owners have poured a tremendous amount of passion into the creation of this experience. The attention to detail is remarkable, and every corner of the set feels meticulously crafted to pull you deeper into the world of Grimm Up North.

Overall, this is an outstanding game that truly stands out. It offers a perfect blend of challenging puzzles, immersive storytelling, and beautiful design. I wholeheartedly recommend Grimm Up North to anyone looking for a thrilling and memorable escape room experience. Whether youโ€™re a seasoned escape room enthusiast or a newcomer, youโ€™re sure to find something here that will leave you eager for more.

We played this room with family as our little christmas get together. Such a brilliantly themed room with lots of clever puzzles to do. Team work is a essential part of this room. I've enjoyed every room at this location

Once upon a time, in the magical land of Wakefield, there was an escape room that was so gorgeous, so clever and so utterly enjoyable that escape enthusiasts journeyed from all over the kingdom to play it and crown it with 5 golden stars.

Grimm Up North is a puzzler's delight with a superb premise and setting but the real stars are the puzzles. The game structure allows for a main trilogy of quests, then an epilogue that just keeps on going... Throw in some delightful hosts and it's an absolute winner. We would happily have gone straight back into the room to play it again afterwards, which says a lot. It's just brilliant.
