Another brilliant room from EO, providing an original nautical take compared to the more common "pirate"-themed escape room, and great use of thematically-appropriate puzzles and props. Good  puzzle flow combining classic observation, association, communication, and some nice mechanical elements, a few lovely moments of surprise, brilliant hosting. Great stuff.

Played this twice, what a clever original concept. Escape room meets heist! Highly recommended!

Great setting and a fun set of puzzles to work through. The narrative build through the tablet and bunker like surroundings were effective. Good range of puzzles and styles albeit on the easier end.

Robert Storey host expert reviewed Utopia by Make Your Escape:
Rated between 3 and 3 out of 5
Played: 18 Oct 2026 Team size: 4 Outcome: Successful escape!

The other side of Dystopia. The briefing for this made little sense having just played dystopia... definitely setup to just be a one room session. 

The theming was on par with what you might expect. There was a cool concept puzzle, however the actual thinking required ended up being a little TOO obtuse for essentially one of the first things you do. Also relied on things being just right to allow you to access it... which was a little frustrating when this is out of your control. 

As others have mentioned, there are items in the room which you do not use unless you are playing as a race. 

I DID like the whole concept of the story developing and I liked how the puzzle setup tied into it (even if a couple of smaller puzzles frustrated us at the simplicity but that they didnt feel like escape room puzzles). 

The ending was not coherent and again, like Dystopia, a little lack-lustre. I wonder whether something was not quite working in our game given we had to be hinted towards what had happened (a pet peeve of mine. If something happens, it should HAPPEN, not happen, if you catch my drift). 

A fine game, but Spellbound is the stronger game at the venue rather than this and Dystopia

Great game with creepy set and some very cool puzzles. Some stuff didn’t work properly which set us off but other than that great fun.

A great second part to Phasmophobia! A very, very clever use of the space. Exciting activities to work through and an immersive, spooky atmosphere.

Ben Franklin reviewed Galacticus by The Escape House:
Rated between 4.5 and 4.5 out of 5
Played: 4 Oct 2026 Team size: 6 Outcome: Successful escape!
hi-techcleverfamily friendlyquite difficult

Super cool room from Escape House that we were all keen to play following their previous room. Loved all the tech and the clever puzzles, although it definitely increased in difficulty as the room went on! A couple of puzzles were slightly unclear, but we worked it out in the end and managed to escape! Very cool theming and quality of puzzles.

Marked down a little for x2 things:

1. The use of AI (inc. the introduction videos) felt unnecessary and against the essence of the handcrafted nature of the Escape House.

2. The first impressions of the waiting room etc. isn't great. It's a cool building, but the entrance room could really do with some TLC, including a bit of a dusting on those shelves! If only they could bring the same level of theming to their entrance as they do to the games! Having visited Tulley's and seeing their (albeit much larger) entrance, I feel like some notes could be taken by EH!

All that aside, we had a great time and can't wait to play whatever their next room is.
