A really solid game with some fun quirks and twists on some classic puzzles.

As a team of two, there was a good amount to do in here and while it wasn't the most original or spectacular, it was just really good fun! With a bigger team, I don't think it would be too challenging but there were a couple of really decent puzzles. The hosting at Escape Reality Edinburgh is always top notch, which earns an additional half star!

The premise and design are cool and we really enjoyed one particular central feature of the game. Apart from one puzzle that felt a bit overcomplicated, it was straightforward stuff.

There is a lot to do in here and some of the puzzles are lovely. It's not the fanciest room but there are some great fixtures and fittings and some quirky puzzles that require quite a lot of thought.

A superb game that was so enjoyable from beginning to end. The set provides wow moment after wow moment and the puzzles are a lot of fun. We just loved this one.

Wow! We loved this room for how immersive it is and how the puzzles weave together so intuitively. This is a truly immersive game with some really enjoyable physical elements. Fantastic.

We loved that this was particular to Halifax! Great hosting from Sam, who clearly loves escape rooms as much as we do! Some lovely puzzles to get stuck into.

A beautiful room - just gorgeous. Lovely puzzles with a lot to do and a really satisfying wow moment.

A great room with the drama that seems to be typical of Escapable! Some clever puzzles that made for a really enjoyable room. We'll definitely be back to try their new rooms!

Absolutely brilliant! We were so overwhelmed by the attention to detail, the quirky details and the truly immersive storytelling. This is an unmissable one... with some of the most incredible theatrics I've seen in an escape room. So much fun!

We love the games at Kanyu Escape so were really excited about trying out a new room here. This is such an impressive set up and has no conventional locks; the tech is really quite something and, as always with Kanyu, the immersive, story-driven element is absolutely nailed. There are puzzles in here that we've not really seen before, which provides a layer of challenge that pushed us into the fifty-something minute range. A lot of effort has gone into making this immersive and that alone is worth an extra half-star; while we still rate Follow in my Footsteps as our favourite Kanyu game, we really enjoyed this game.

Really enjoyed the set-up but the low light levels make all the searching a bit laboured... Saying that, it really got going after we got past the first room and we enjoyed the last few puzzles.

Lots to do in here and some clever puzzles that worked well with the theme. We stormed through it because it flowed well, so although it's not the hardest room, it is an enjoyable one.

This is the hardest game at this centre and was developed in conjunction with the University. It is tech-heavy and there are very few padlocks. The theme has a WW2 flavour and the room is set up really nicely with some really authentic decor. The puzzle difficulty is definitely up a notch from the School of Magic game we played here and this is definitely something to provide a bit more of a challenge bit we didn't feel like there was too much for a team of two. Overall, it was instinctive and fun, with some cool puzzles and tech that worked flawlessly. The staff here are incredibly kind and helpful and everything is available in both Italian and English.

We were really pleased to find that we could complete games in English, as our Italian doesn't quite stretch to escape rooms! A really friendly place with some really enthusiastic staff. We tackled this room first and really enjoyed the combination of puzzles. It's typical magic-themed stuff, which is fine by us! Lots of padlocks and some quirky tech, which all worked beautifully.

A decent game for beginners - there isn't too much to challenge more experienced players but, as always with Escape Edinburgh, it's a fun game with some well-designed puzzles and nice hosts.

Not Escape Hunt's best game but we loved some of the more story-based puzzles and had a lot of fun.

A fun game with some quirky surprises. We flew through it as a team of two so I'm not surehow much there would be to do for a bigger team.

A fairly standard game with some interesting puzzles - we did this as a 4 and found enough to do.

A superb room - the puzzles just flowed so well and the game felt really instinctive. The theme was sustained throughout and the tech was flawless. It felt very inventive and designed by people who really love escape rooms. So much fun and a great challenge - would highly recommend this one!

It might not be the most spectacular room but the puzzles are really well-designed, which makes for a very intuitive room that flows nicely and provided us an enjoyable game. As a two, we found plenty to do. The final couple of puzzles are particularly good.

A very cute room with some quirky features that took us by surprise! The puzzles are very straightforward but this room had some lovely bits and bobs we'd not seen before and there was a level of tech that we didn't quite expect.

We really enjoyed the room layout as there are some real surprises that really make the game. The puzzles are well-designed but certainly not easy and as most of the game is played with a very lowlight level, it becomes a fairly challenging room. Great fun - we enjoyed the physicality of this one!

Not our usual kind of escape room - there are no padlocks in here and it's not linear. Quite a lot of tech and some quirky bits and bobs that were really good fun. The space is a tight squeeze but fine for two of us. Staff here are really nice and really enthusiastic, which always makes for a good experience.

Overall, I'm not a fan of the clue system at Escape Reality but we didn't need any clues in this room so it didn't affect our experience. We enjoyed this room mostly for the theme. There were some puzzles that stood out as well as quite a lot of straightforward ones. Overall, this was a fun room and would be great for a first time escape room.

Not our usual first choice of theme but we enjoyed this game; it has a split start and some really immersive elements. A good mixture of puzzles.

This room is so much fun. We had lovely hosts at the Manchester Escape Hunt and all the tech in the game worked beautifully. It wasn't challenging so we powered through it, even as a two, but it was incredibly enjoyable.

Loads of puzzles and lots of 'reveal' moments, which we enjoyed. Some really cool 'magic' bits and a good combination of different kinds of puzzles. Good fun but its a tad on the tight side when it comes to space so something to bear in mind for larger groups.

A really different set up here, as the aim is to score points rather than escape. It's not the biggest game but the puzzles are so on-theme, so quirky and there is just so much in here that we found the time flying by! It is designed so that you can do this with children and not get too hung up of whether you escape or not, which makes it really accessible as a fun Christmas trip out. It's also got enough challenge for keen escape room-ers! We really rated this one.

Another fun Escape Hunt room! The Viking theme was really well done and we particularly enjoyed the physical elements to this game.

The lab set up is well done here and there are some well-layered puzzles. We found this the most challenging room out of the four here at Mindlock in York but it was manageable with two of us.

This room has just had a technical revamp and the tech is absolutely spot-on. There's a lot of searching and finding and there is a lot to do - expect to be busy, especially in a team of two. There were some nice quirky touches in here that really appealed to us and we really enjoyed the challenge level. Overall, a really solid room with reliable, impressive tech and enough to keep us busy.

A really enjoyable room. Not big or flashy but crammed with puzzles and a huge variation of them at that. With two of us, none of the puzzles were insanely difficult but the sheer volume of puzzles meant we had lots to do. A great deal of fun.

The concept is fun and there are some great puzzles but it felt a little bit ambiguous at times, although this could be due to us skipping ahead and having to go back on ourselves. Some nice Easter eggs for GOT fans.

Another well designed room from Escape Hunt! A quirky theme with some equally quirky puzzles. Good fun.

Impressive initial wow factor with some lovely challenges that tested our team of two. Mostly really intuitive although one puzzle had us a bit stumped as to how it worked but we got there in the end.

Lots of padlocks, which we enjoy - some fun physical elements and a good design that fits with the theme really well.

A great beginner room with some lovely design features and a strong theme.

The Da Vinci theme is fantastically achieved here and the design of the room is a real highlight. Lighting can be an issue at times and we found it tricky to see at times! Great fun though!

Although the escape room centre itself feels a bit strange, we found the game great fun with so many challenging puzzles. Not an easy game, particularly due to one puzzle near the end, but it's a great challenge as a two.

This had the potential to be good but we found some of the puzzles a little awkward. A lovely host, though!

This was a lot of fun with some dark elements and a great mix of puzzles.

Straightforward but enjoyable! As a two, we worked quite separately for most of the room but this doesn't detract from the escape experience.

As always with Escape Hunt, no effort has been spared making sure the theme is on point; some great challenges and quirky problems to solve.

A brilliant start to this game and a great mix of physical challenge, searching and logic. We hammered our way through this one but it never felt too straightforward, just intuitive and enjoyable.

A few great puzzles but generally quite straightforward.

This is such a great room and there is one particular element that is incredible! Lovely puzzles and a good amount of challenge that fitted in with the theme and kept the two of us occupied. Super room.

We really liked this room - it flows nicely and the puzzles are well designed. The puzzles fit in really well with the theme and it was a really enjoyable escape.

There are some nice puzzles in here but it wasn't particularly intuitive.

A straightforward room but the theme is strong and there are a couple of wow moments that were great fun.
