We absolutely loved this game! Lots of creative puzzles including some we haven't seen before. It will likely keep you busy right up until the last second of the hour! I love physical puzzles and this room was great for that. 

Would recommend for newbies, experienced escapers, couples, groups, families. Do ask about physical accessibility if you aren't sure. 

Lee is a great host and we had loads of fun. We will be returning.

Excellent game with unique puzzles, would thoroughly recommend. Lots of thought went into creating this one! We loved it.

Super creative, immersive game with excellent attention to detail. Lots of passion and energy has gone into creating this room. Also one of the best customer service experiences we've ever had. Will definitely be returning to play the new rooms when they open!

It's an interesting concept, but this game was generally lacklustre and really wasn't our cup of tea. I think young kids might enjoy it. Lots of very basic puzzles and zero effort to make it immersive. Some of the props were worn and had not been fixed. The worst part (without spoilers) at one point you are asked to do something which seemed very un-environmentally friendly which we chose not to do. Wouldn't recommend unfortunately.

Absolutely loved this jam-packed blockbuster of a game! The interwoven storyline and gameplay are unlike any other I've done. I'll admit, I wasn't sure about the theme when we booked, but there's much more to this one than meets the eye! If you've ever thought you'd make a good detective then you'll be hooked.

The GM (one of the owners) was superb; the interactions throughout the game were great fun and made it really immersive. It's the first room for this home-grown company and they've only been open a few months, but I enjoyed it just as much (if not more!) than some of the big-budget rooms I've played with larger businesses. The owners' talent and creativity really shines through in all aspects of this game, making it an unmissable experience in Edinburgh.

We had an excellent host and really enjoyed it. There's lots of creative/varied puzzles, as is the case with all Escapologic rooms. It's one of a kind, and well worth doing. Don't be put off by the traditional theme - you won't see this one coming! 

Just to note it is very linear, so I wouldn't recommend for large groups (max 4/5 players).

Great set and great hosting. This is a humorous game that doesn't take itself too seriously. Not very difficult puzzles so I'd say it's better suited for those just starting out.

So much thought and effort has gone into this high-budget game. There's a multitude of puzzles to keep you busy for the full hour - and have loads of fun! Very, very well done. Amazing game.

One of my absolute favourite games ever! Genius puzzles and I LOVED the physical elements and hidden surprises. You will not be disappointed by this spectacular room!

Lots of Christmas fun with puzzles of different types and difficulty levels. Great room for families or newbies! Tim was a fab host.

Wow wow wow! Not your normal escape room - you have to solve as many puzzles to get as much swag as you can and get out in time. It was so much fun! There are TONS of puzzles and games packed into this room of all types and difficulty levels, there's something for everyone.

The immersion and set was really outstanding, as was the use of technology. Despite the diversity in the puzzles, they all managed to keep to the theme and didn't break the immersion of being on a submarine. Our host/owner Alex was an absolute diamond, such a lovely bloke and has clearly put a lot of love into Compendium. 

We had an excellent time as a pair but this room is huge and almost completely non-linear, so I think it would be great for big groups too. I would recommend to anyone (especially fans of the crystal maze - no spoilers though!) ;-)

There is an excellent variety of types of puzzles in this traditional, non-linear escape game. Some were particularly memorable and creative! A lot of love and thought has gone into this room, we really enjoyed it.

Incredible mechanics, surprising twists and turns, great hosting with lots of scares! Escapologic rooms always go the extra mile and this was no different. Loved the immersion, genius creativity, physical puzzles and lack of padlocks.

Really fun unique physical elements. Not scary at all, good for families. Room is looking quite tired though

Definitely recommend for a group of people rather than a pair! Setting is great and very unique, with lots of creative quirks. Good fun. 

We were a bit overwhelmed by how completely non-linear it was, and the GM kept stopping us to explain the puzzles and check if we were right/wrong, which wasn't great.

Really didn't enjoy the clue system (via ipad) We didn't have an actual host/GM watching us so once we got stuck, we were stuck for the remainder of the hour and couldn't move forwards at all

Without a doubt the best escape room set I have ever seen. The attention to detail is immaculate, and every single part of the game was in keeping with the theme. The use of technology is outstanding.

Only problem is we were too spooked to concentrate and didn't make it out (wimps!) Fantastic game would highly recommend.

Poor hosting unfortunately ruined the experience for us. The setting/decor was nowhere near as good as other Trapp'd games.
