We usually play as a team of two but this time we were joined by our fellow escape enthusiast to tackle this highly rated rising star room!! And thank goodness we had an extra pair of hands and the additional brainpower. 

This room was FABULOUS. From entering the room all the way up to its conclusion, the love and care given to its concept was apparent. We enjoyed everything from start to finish!

We must admit, we don't usually gel well with the magic theme in escape rooms but we were far more than pleasantly surprised at how good this room actually was!! This room was so immersive that it's difficult not to get truly lost in the story and the puzzles! 

We have one word for this room... BRAVO 👏🏾 

Thanks for having us, we can't wait for the next adventure!

Another absolute HIT!! Well done Case Closed! We drove 4.5 hours just to play this room (as we loved Max Sinclair so much) and we were not disappointed! Theming, set, hosting, story, EVERYTHING was spot on! Don't walk, run to Case Closed now!

Really immersive game that takes you on an exciting adventure! There are a number of surprises that will surely delight every member of the team. Certainly a family friendly game that has elements that will keep every player occupied. Would recommend.

It was really refreshing to do a scare-free cabin room! We enjoyed the puzzles and the story of this room - one of the stronger games at this company.

Again, a really nice room with some solid puzzles. We found some things a little illogical, but this didn't ruin the overall game for us.

Firstly, we'd like to thank our GM for being a fantastic host and for her patience! We really enjoyed the immersion in this room. However, we were really let down by what seems to be unnecessarily frustrating puzzles. 

The first half of the game seemed to flow quite well (although there were a few occasions where the puzzle's solution didn't work the first time despite the method being correct), however the second half of the game did not follow in the same vein. 

We very rarely need a lot of assistance from a GM (and we aren't shy in asking for help either) but the second half of this game was so ambiguous that we required constant assistance. Thankfully our GM was fabulous and knew exactly what additional information we needed to nudge us along. 

Quite frankly, ambiguous and/or illogical puzzles do not make for a challenging room.

There's no doubt that the set in this game is stunning. You enter the game and you are instantly immersed into another world. We were absolutely blown away, however the actual gameplay left us feeling unfulfilled. 

Search and find puzzles seem to be focus here. We're all for hiding items out of sight but risking injury to be able to attain them is maybe a step too far. Unfortunately it does feel as though the puzzles were a bit of an after thought and we just couldn't gel with them.

Without the incredible set this would have been a 3.5 star game. Unfortunately a lot of the gameplay relies on searching and finding which was slightly disappointing as we prefer to solve actual puzzles. That being said, the set was really impressive and our GM was lovely.

This experience was made all the better by our fantastic GM, Tom! The game stands on its own as an excellent room, however, the hosting really put the cherry on top of the cake! We loved it!

There is nothing we can say here to give this game justice. Go and play it, make the trip - you'll not be disappointed!

YES, YES, YES!!! This was our favourite room at this site! Such great puzzles and immersion! Often escape rooms forget that a good puzzle is worth more than a fantastic set, and luckily, this room had an abundance of both! Thank you to our GM, Tom, for making this experience unforgettable from start to finish!

Great set and lovely GM but unfortunately for us, the game didn't seem to flow well and had a couple of illogical moments in our opinion! We spent far too long on a puzzle that was no longer in play (removed from the game prior) which caused us a lot of frustration - decommissioned puzzles should be removed from rooms completely.

Incredibly well designed concept/set which had us solving puzzles from the moment we arrived! If you are in the area, it's certainly worth a visit! Lovely GMs too!

Wow, what an adventure. There was definitely a sense of sensory overload in this room, but in the best way possible! This was a really fun game and another outstanding effort from EO! Can't wait for the next adventure!

We tackled this one first, and what a way to start!! We can't say much without giving too much away; but the craftsmanSHIP was incredible!! Well done Kelly and Rich for creating a truly immersive adventure!!

You will be fully immersed in the story from start to finish! This has some really unique elements to it, which are made even better by the attention to detail throughout. You can tell there has been a lot of love poured into the rooms at EO!

Beautiful set and lovely hosts but the game itself was definitely lacking in puzzles. The game is very linear and relies heavily on interaction with "characters"; which doesn't work for the flow of this particular game. We left slightly disappointed as we were looking forward to playing this after really enjoying the original 'Rob the Bank' game.

Nice logical room - a good one to start off with, if you are playing a few. Some nice puzzles in the room that we've not seen before too! Excellent hosting from Bee!

Fantastic use of the space and an innovative design makes feel as though you have entered a real rainforest; bravo Richard!! 
We don't want to ruin the surprise so we can't say much more, so we'll just say this... WELL DONE EO!

If I could use all the tags, I would! This is not just a seasonal room, this is a fabulous adventure. We were a bit dubious about the split start but it works so well and doesn't actually feel like you are apart from the rest of your team (you'll find out why, when you play!). The room flows exceptionally well with a variety of puzzles to suit everyone and keep you steadily busy throughout! Given the dual objective, you can set your own pace for escaping which means you can chooses to take the pressure off (if you want to; which we didn't!!)Another fantastic room; thanks EO team!
