Light-hearted, family-friendly and lots of fun. I would say it's a fairly easy room where children can get involved in every element. We only took so long due to our own stupidity and failure to check the obvious XD. Most puzzles have a fun twist or at least an element of playfulness to them and everything was very logical. Contains lots of the usual padlocks, including the dreaded directional lock.

value for moneygreat hostingfamily friendly

A very nice escape room, especially for children.  The host was very helpful from start to finish, and didn't ove complicate or give touch away when we asked for a nudge. With this company, there are no leader boards, which means teams can fully appreciate the effort put into making the room.

A wholesome romp around Mr Cooper's garden, this lovely game features a plethora of gardening tropes, including - of course - a whole jolly host of characterful gnomes. Puzzles are inventive and plentiful, with a very welcome additional puzzle chain added on at the end for those who zip through the main challenge.
