Well built, very immersive room for thrill seekers. Genuinely scary at times and the set is great for it's purpose. There's an interesting array of puzzles that tie in with the set nicely too. Some of the puzzles were quite difficult and we had to ask for a few clues. Only minor gripe was that it was difficult to communicate with the gamesmaster as the music/atmospheric sounds in the room were quite loud, but the staff (particularly Issy) were very friendly before/after the room and were keen to know what we thought they could improve on.

Fun room for fans of Harry Potter. We thought there were a couple of really unique puzzles/sections of the room which we really enjoyed, it really added to the 'magical' element of the room. There wasn't anything particularly difficult, the room was one of the more easy ones we've played generally, but there was a couple of times where I think one would struggle to work out a clue without hints. Either way, this was a great room to play. I would recommend for first timers and families with younger children, but this doesn't mean adults/experienced players wouldn't enjoy it either!

This is a murder mystery room set in prohibition-era New York. We were given the intro by Jess who was absolutely brilliant as a host, one of the best we've had. Super friendly, and really into her role as GM - saying that if we needed clues we'd need to ask for them via walkie-talkie in full New York accent. Unsurpisingly her accent was considerably better than mine!

The room looked great upon entry, and most importantly, it was a cool temperature! This was the first room we've been in where we've not been sweltering hot throughout. They nailed the immersive decoration and had some appropriate, non-intrusive music playing throughout the hour. 

The story was good although as you've got to whittle down from a choice of 11 suspects, it can get a little convoluted at times. Our biggest issue was that there was a lot of papers to keep track of, some with various bits of information that aren't used straight away so it was a little difficult for us to keep going through the papers each and every time looking for what we needed. 

The clues were about the right amount of difficulty for groups that are experienced with escape rooms. The puzzles are generally non-linear and are quite abstract in some places so provided a bit of a challenge in that respect, but I enjoyed that aspect of it nonetheless. However, I think because of this, for first timers this room may be a little difficult.

Overall, it was a very enjoyable room. It was one of the more difficult we've done and we certainly didn't think we were going to finish when we had 5 mins left, so were happy to have won before the deadline! Again, I'd like to reiterate how good Jess was as GM, she really gave the room that little bit extra. We will be back soon to try the other rooms!

Nice story with some really clever and original ideas. Nice use of tech with the eraseable electronic notepads that are actually useful as well instead of being a forced gimmick. Despite a struggle towards the end we enjoyed the room and found it a good level of challenging. It wasn't excessively difficult but you definitely need to be switched on going into it. We had to ask for a lot of clues!

Overall we really enjoyed this and it was definitely one of the toughest rooms we've done to date. We look forward to coming back for more!

Our first escape room. We really enjoyed it and staff were great and explained things nicely.
