You and your team are elite members of the Turd Raiders, a covert operation unit known for flushing out toilet-related treasures. You’ve received intel that your long-time rivals, the Turd Burglars, are holed up in a secret underground bathroom bunker beneath an abandoned sewage treatment facility. Within their stink-laden lair lies the ultimate prize: the Golden Plunger, said to grant supreme control over all restroom realms. And not just that—scattered throughout the hideout are the legendary Golden Turds, rare relics of mythical toilet lore.
Your mission? Infiltrate their hideout, solve their elaborate traps and puzzles, steal the Golden Plunger, and collect as many Golden Turds as you can before the Turd Burglars return from their tactical porta-potty conference. You have 60 minutes. The flush is ticking.

22 out of 24 puzzles complete, missed 8 of the golden turds
The best collection game we have played and we have done UI-55 at compendium don’t know what to expect with the theme but 100% refreshing
Completely novel theme, a fantastic number and range of puzzles that kept us pair of experienced players (400+ rooms but not all logged on here) busy for the whole hour. Collection games are my favourite and this is a great example of one. The signposting for the puzzles is subtle yet clear and intuitive, gentle hints were delivered in a timely fashion (not to solve puzzles, but to identify the last few puzzles remaining, as there were so many to do).
If you have any kind of a childish sense of humour, love puzzles and love being busy throughout the whole time you will love this game.
Excellent hosting as always from Alex - the objective of the game was crystal clear from the pre-game preamble and short safety briefing and everything in the room was carefully designed and place with purpose and made sense. It's always a joy to find a room that we can play exactly how it is designed to be played, and the games at Compendium are all like his.
This game is suitable for newbies, families, experienced players alike - I defy anyone to not love this game.
We had a fantastic time playing this game and would absolutely recommend it. It’s packed with puzzles from start to finish, which made it a real joy for us as couple who are self confessed puzzle lovers. The theming throughout is strong, the set looks great, and it’s clear a lot of thought and effort has gone into the design. It’s one of those rooms where you can really appreciate the love that’s gone into building it.
There are a few things that could make the experience even better. At times, we found the signposting between puzzles a little unclear, and we did spend some time unsure about what linked where.
The clue system is in keeping with the room’s theme and delivered through an intercom, which looks great, but we did struggle to hear the Games Master clearly through it, especially over the background music. It also felt a bit disruptive having to walk away from a puzzle each time we needed a clue. Having multiple intercom points or a speaker system would make things much easier, clearer and help keep the pace up.
The Games Master was lovely friendly, welcoming and clearly passionate. There were just a couple of points where a bit more timely intervention from the GM would have helped. For example, one of us was working on something for quite a while before we found out it couldn’t be solved until the final five minutes, when a certain piece of information is revealed. A brief mention of that at the start, or a subtle nudge at the time, would have made a big difference.
There was also one puzzle that felt slightly off to us, as it involved interacting with something that felt like it should have been out of bounds from a health and safety point of view. That’s a small thing, but worth mentioning.
Overall, we really enjoyed the room and had a great time. It’s full of content, a great challenge for enthusiasts, and clearly still evolving. Would happily recommend it to others, who are looking for a collector style game.
Another hit from the guys at compendium, UI-55 was our favourite game but turd raiders is something else. From the moment you walk in to the second you walk out it’s high tempo puzzle solving at its best. We got the status FLUSHED as we managed to get all of the golden turds and the golden plunger. I love collection games but this has to be my number 1 game so far.
An absolutely unreal escape room from Alex, Luke and the team who have put a lot time and effort into creating it. It was a joy to play this on its opening day.
I'm struggling to find the words to do this room justice and explain how we much fun we had playing this room.
One of the best rooms we've played in the UK, this experience equals UI-55, the escape room that made us fall in love with escape rooms in the first place.
Don't miss out on playing this room, you will not be disappointed!
