We hadn’t heard of escape game in Birmingham but when we reached out about the suitability for our young kids the owner was more than helpful and accommodating. Puzzles were logical and although a little worn in places it was a solid room. The owner was friendly and stopped for a chat after and if we had more time on our trip we would have definitely played more here. We are planning a return. 

Played for a friends 300th room and there was a lovely little touch included for her. A lovely looking set and logical puzzles, family friendly and fun to play

An unusual theme executed well and hosted brilliantly. 

A lovely family friendly game themed beautifully and hosted perfectly. The puzzles made sense and it was enjoyable from start to finish. 

I’m not normally one to leave poor reviews but this room needs to be avoided at all costs. Hands down the worst escape room I have ever played in over 400 rooms.

Entirely illogical, broken tech. The GM was in and out of the room for the majority of the game. We solved one puzzle in the entire game the rest were either broken or overridden by our GM. Crucial parts to puzzles were missing from the game and Props were so worn they were unusable. Audio puzzles that were so muffled you couldn’t work them out. The clues that were given over a walkie talkie were so poor they needed clues themselves! GM came in to open a lock for us and we asked how we would have solved it he shrugged and said “you just do”. Should have left at that point as that was puzzle 2 and things only got worse from there. Avoid and save your money. 

When planning where to play my 400th game it was a no brainer. The cabin and the basement have always been in my top 5 and supremacy continues the high quality and immersive sets we have come to expect from Bob and Nikki. 

This game is beautiful to look at, challenging to play but themed perfectly. The passion is clear to see and is executed brilliantly into a game which is simply a joy to play. Highly recommended

An outstanding game from Isaac and the team. The set design and build quality is next level. There’s lots to do here, it’s a linear game that kept two experienced players busy for the entire 90 mins. There is a wide range of tricky puzzles, well signposted with no logic leaps. Many, many “that’s cool” moments and lots of unique interpretations that we hadn’t seen before. Bravo Isaac, this was quite simply a joy to play! 

Adam has done a fantastic job creating The Ward. It’s not scary, has a creepy undertone with a great story. Not too tricky but the puzzles are interesting, logical and make perfect sense and was simply a joy to play. Great hosting as always from the main man himself. Highly recommended 

An unmissable game with a magical ending that is quite simply a joy to play. The hosting is great, the set is fantastic and the puzzles flow nicely. Highly recommended

What an absolutely quackers game with a unique theme and great set. Lovely hosting as usual 

A great fun room with some lovely elements I haven’t seen before. A fantastic use of space and great hosting. 

This game is absolutely unmissable.

The attention to detail is unreal, even down to the smell of the room! The set design is fantastic and it is very clear what is props and puzzles and what is just decoration. Even the smallest details have been carefully thought out. 

The puzzles flowed, all made perfect sense and even though we finished the game as a 2 in 37 mins with no clues we did not feel it lacked content, the puzzles were plentiful, signposting spot on and everything made perfect sense. One of the best rooms I have played in over 350! 

Hosting was top notch too! Bravo Mindworks! What a room 

After hearing so much about this game it had been on our radar for a while and it absolutely lived up to the hype! 

Puzzles galore, nostalgia and some personal touches thrown in for good measure. The only bad thing is that the game had to end! 

Having met Olive before I was very much hoping she would be our host and I was absolutely delighted when she bounded out in her shell suit to put us through our paces! Her cheery and fun persona absolutely elevated the experience. Thank you! We had a blast! 

There’s lots to like about this room but I can honestly say I was exhausted at the end! 

There were a few puzzles that caught us out and I would say possibly the most physically challenging game I have played. Our GM was very welcoming and gave us helpful pointers when needed 

This game felt very similar to 8 years later we had played at an Escape branch in Colchester but under a different name, redressed theme but ans soon as I entered I recognised the layout of the room and the props. There was a different story and very slightly different puzzles. This worked for us as we were able to take a step back and let the kids take the lead. 

The host was fantastic and the puzzles made sense. Just be wary if you have played 8 years later before booking as you may also see similarities that may affect your experience. 

Different spin on a Christmas escape room which I absolutely loved. There’s some unique puzzles and a clear objective. I played with my 5 yo and she hasn’t stopped talking about it! Adam is a wonderful host who makes some great games. 

Another great game from hourglass with brilliant and well constructed set design. Puzzles fit the theme of the game and there were plenty of them. The game was challenging but thoroughly enjoyable and kept us busy. As always excellent hosting by Della. Highly recommended 

We really enjoyed this game and our host was very accommodating and knowledgeable. The game was linear and we were a little stuck a couple of times and the clues given felt like more nudges which helped us on our way, perhaps could benefit from a bit more signposting and there was one puzzle which we found over complicated but it was immersive and enjoyable. 

Very last minute booking welcomed by a lovely host - David. We love different and tactile ways of solving puzzles and locking things away and escape plan does this so well. We often find ourselves spending as much time in awe of these little contraptions as the puzzles themselves!. This game has a fairly unique story and some clever puzzles and mechanics, with moments of fun and humour and some great touches all topped off with great and welcoming hosting. Absolutely recommended. 

I took my young daughter who absolutely loves visiting Adam and his games at Keylock. Not only is he the most wonderful host his games are great too and the new trick or treat room is no exception. There was a great flow to the game with some original puzzles and some humour and lovely personal touches. Highly recommended 

A very unique concept, executed brilliantly. Very enjoyable game 

This was a brilliant experience from start to finish, there are sooooo many puzzles in this room and lots of perfectly themed tech. The build and set quality is amazing and the story very unique. Played for my 300th game and is one of the best games I have played. Hosting is superb too. Highly recommend 

The set and puzzle design is absolutely beautiful. There is plenty to do in this room and the variety of puzzle types really sets this game apart from your ordinary escape room. We very nearly got the lot as a two. Great hosting

A beautiful set with a good variety of puzzles and great hosting. Some clever little touches too.
