Little made a promise to the night. She would build a rocket before the sun next arose. And keeping that promise, she knew, would begin with a little help…

A beautiful story-drive escape room which starts off much more 1st generation, but has some wonderful magical moments towards the end. 

Highly recommended, and amazing that it was created in such a short time.

Beautifully crafted game with some lovely and surprising moments throughout. This game didn’t flow as well as the others we have played previously to me - partially due to being able to break a puzzle by moving things. Still brilliant for a 2 week pop up!

I have been working and enjoying immersive entertainment for a long time. This room was hands down one of the best I’ve experienced. No exaggeration. It was clear that the creative team cared deeply about every element of this experience. 

The narrative was truly beautiful and flowed through the puzzles seamlessly.

The design of the room was exquisite and the wow moments were frankly jaw dropping. 

It’s a crying shame that this room isn’t a permanent venue. I feel very lucky to have enjoyed and been a part of this beautiful experience. 

Huge congratulations to all involved. Thank you for such a wonderful, exciting and moving experience.

Didn't know what to expect going into it cause it's made by students. I was expecting a charming escape room made with spare parts kind of vibes. We were greeted by Charlie who explained how it'd all go and just like that we were in a room. The story is incredible it started quite sad and really set the tone for what we were trying to do. There are loads of puzzles that your team can either work together on or split up to try and solve. Genuinely felt a huge sense of incredible wonder when the production quality really shone through. The sound design is incredible and the build up towards the end is really exciting before the story reaches the peak and shows you incredible visuals that close the story in a lovely way genuinely made me emotional. We came as a group of people who work in escape rooms and I was fully blown away, best experience I've had in years. Good job to everyone who worked on it!!

This is the first time I've managed to score a slot to play at RADA and I'm SO grateful we got to play! 

The story is so beautiful and is expertly weaved into all the puzzles. Set in a shed, the space is used cleverly and I didn't feel the need to move on anywhere else. 

Many puzzles were intuitive in outstanding new ways. I feel like I got to use more senses than usual! 😀 

The real wow moment is towards the end, with half of my team (me included) almost crying. The story concludes and you're left in awe. 

Our host Charlie was so lovely as well! You can really tell all the love and effort that went into creating this room, its such a shame its temporary - but perhaps thats part of what makes this experience even more special to me. 

I really look forward to what RADA do next year! 🥹

This is the second RADA game I've played and I'm once again impressed by the quality. If this were a permanent, stand-alone game, it would be in the top quarter of London games. 

A few things that stuck out:

* Clever puzzles, including at least one that I hadn't seen elsewhere.

* Elegant use of the small space, including a fun twist in the final act.

* A wistful, emotional tone that few escape rooms attempt.

One area for improvement: with  a lot of puzzles in a small space, it could be hard to figure out which clues and codes map to which locks. I'd love to see more visual cues to help make the connection.

We had great fun with this escape story. I say story because I didn’t really want to ‘escape’ the experience, I wanted to reach its conclusion and feel satisfied… and it certainly delivered on that.

The room is based around the rough premise of completing tasks in pursuit of a greater goal, which is really cleverly weaved together with a narrative which (although quite sad!) has a great payoff. It’s very impressive how much detail and nuance the team have pulled off in a relatively small space.

The host (Cas) was excellent, the technical side of things (soundscape, lighting, ambience) were also great, and it sits right in the difficulty sweet spot that lends itself to a family of 3-5 where nobody would feel redundant.

Our team have done hundreds of escape rooms between us… and this is up there with the best in terms of polish, bravo.

Are there better rooms out there? - sure… but for the price? - unbeatable.

Ok, the negatives: Hard to get tickets for and when it’s gone it’s gone. That’s it. This is a lovely game, at a great price, and the team at RADA can stand proud with what they’ve achieved. Ratings are the hardest part of reviewing games, but regardless of the rating we’ve given, this is a game you really should try and play.
