Having played all the games at the Escapement in Margate and knowing the quality and theming of these rooms we were waiting with baited breath for their new venue the Escapement Broadstairs to open. 

The wait is over, we finally got to play the 2 new games Quartz and Atlantis, and OMG …… WOW ….. the wait was worth it and the Escapement team and brains behind it all Lewis and Mica have excelled themselves with these new games pushing the boundaries of an escape room into a whole new fully immersive experience. These rooms are now in my top games in the UK. 

On arrival back at the venue we were greeted by Lewis and had a chat and catch up with a drink, which was nice at no point during the visit at the establishment were we felt rushed, and thoroughly enjoyed chatting to Lewis

We then headed into the GMC submarine, the immersive atmosphere starts straight away, and this is exactly how I imagine a submarine to be, soon you are finding truly unique puzzles that are in keeping with the theme.  The story line keeps you immersed throughout and climbing out of the submarine into a magical and beautiful set that is hard not to get lost in its beauty we found puzzles that were a fun mix of logic, searching and physical.  We managed to find the energy source and had to take it back to the submarine and get back home from the depths of the sea, again this keeps you alert and on your toes with  a strong need for team work.

This is probably my top all time game (having played just under 200 games myself and with a team of 3, 1 team member this was only her 4^th game, the last team member having undertaken around 50 games) 

We were all hyped up after the game and came out for a debrief and chatted with Lewis about the room build with a drink. 

I look forward to seeing what Lewis and Micas brilliant minds and talent for building their own sets come up with next, it is clear a lot of hard work and passion has gone into building these new games taking the escape room experience to a whole new level.

 This is by far the best venue in Kent, maybe even in the country for all their rooms at both venues being top quality and 5* immersion.

Our visit started with arriving at the venue and being greeted by Vince who was friendly and offered us refreshments on arrival, in the lobby area which is decorated out in a welcoming way and looks amazing. We were then taken the  briefing area for our game Quartz where our mission was to destroy it and save the world, the game was intense and had us gripped as a team of 3 from the minute we entered the room , the atmosphere and puzzles are so well thought out and in theme it has you on gripped, leading to a finale I thought was amazing and something I have never before seen in an escape room , you need your wits about you in this room to succeed and it was a room we couldn’t stop discussing on the journey home. I would whole heartedly recommend this room to anyone and everyone. 

On exit from the room and obviously saving the world we had a de brief and chat with Vince who was amazing and a great game master, before leaving for lunch before we came back to play Atlantis.
