Enigma Rooms Wakefield: GRIMM – Up North

Loved the theming of this game and the opportunity for bonus puzzles at the end of the main quest (of which we got them all!)! Really creative puzzles, beautiful scenery and just a lovely time was had by all. Highly recommend!

This is a top 5 game for me. Plenty to work on the whole way through. Beautifully designed and it flows really well. Worth the trip from anywhere to play this game. Lucy was amazing, super friendly and perfectly timed clues, not too early and not too late. 

Really enjoyable linear escape room, with a puzzle collecting element at the end with a large number of puzzles to attempt to collect. I went with a couple of very season escape artists and we all had a fantastic time.

One of the best escape rooms we've ever played!

The multiple themed rooms contain a wide variety of a fun puzzles. Despite the website making this look like a dark/scary game, it's actually bright, intricate and would definitely be fun for families. I wouldn't recommend groups of more than 4 though because some areas were a bit cosy.

There was one boring/tedious puzzle involving string and a crawlspace - it was fun for the first couple of minutes but dragged on for way too long. Hopefully it gets shortened down from 5 letters to 4 letters in the future.

After finishing the main "quest", you are invited to continue playing by completing additional puzzles to collect "Happily Ever After" coins. These ranged from short filler tasks to more intricate tests of observation.

It was nice chatting to the GM after the match as he is obviously an escape enthusiast himself - he praised how much we managed to do with only 2 people, but wasn't afraid to criticise moments when we had played sub-optimally.

Overall, a really fun experience and definitely one I'd recommend to everyone! I'm off to tell some friends about this room right now!

This was our final room of doing all 4 of the rooms here on this day, and we definitely saved the best till last. This room is full of twists and turns, keeping you guessing what might be coming next. The puzzles are unique and well-themed to blend in seamlessly with the room, creating an immersive experience throughout. 

This is very much a room of 2 halves. The first section is your core escape room experience, its pretty linear and we completed that in about half an hour, so I would say the main segment of the room is quite easy. We were wondering what we would be doing for the rest of the 75 mintues and if it was really necessary. However, the second half is where the game really comes into its own, and from here on, the rest is optional and is laid out in the form of a chaotic, lock-busting item-grab to the finish. We used almost the entire time in total, taking a further 38 minutes to collect all happily ever afters - yup you read that right, longer than it took to complete the main room! This means that this room is perfect for absolutely everyone, no matter how novice or experienced your team is. Even for more experienced teams, you will get your money's worth in here! Well built, fantastic puzzles, beautiful room design and superb value for money. The only downside was that there was so much going on that I missed out on a chunk of the puzzles and with 4 players were were often quite tight for space - I wouldnt recommend any more than 4 people in there.

As a note - there is a section in this room that requires crawling for the duration of a puzzle, so if you are coming as a team of adults just bear that in mind 🙂

Great escape room - highly recommend. We completed the first part in 57:47 and collected 6 happily ever afters! 

Fantastic game! Great spin on the Escape Room idea. Very immersive. So much to do. We've done quite a few escape rooms so this felt fun and refreshing. Great host and team as well. Lots to do, felt like we could have spent hours trying to finish everything! Couldn't recommend enough!
