Lindsey Carey (Dinner Jackets)

Ggood for families with younger kids, but rarely qualifies as an escape room in its own right. Overpriced in our opinion. Tech was flawed as the laser guns and sensors didn't work well. I think approx 4 of our 11 mins were spent trying to make that work.  Advertised treasure trail was barely worthwhile and despite being told to take it to red desk for a certificate, they informed us they haven't had those delivered for ages. A bit of a let down in general.

Torches were a bit rubbish so the first part was hard to see. Otherwise we thoroughly enjoyed and Ajay was a great host.

Good room, some novel puzzles, and a good variety. Jack was a great host. So much so we booked to return the next day.

Our first visit to this venue, a great game and we really enjoyed it. Bob was lovely, and we really enjoyed the puzzles.

Our 3rd Escape Hunt venue visited. This was one of the good ones, the room is relatively new to the site. 

Not their best room by far but we enjoyed it. Would have preferred more variety in the locks, lots of 3 and 4 digit padlocks which is a personal bug bear but there was a couple of puzzles we haven't seen before. 

Enjoyed this, it had a twist on the usual format. Wish exit would attempt to make their games repayable and not disposable. We never damage and and pass them on to another home, it's not that difficult. We should be trying to be more sustainable. 

Really enjoyed this, would be great fun in a group too. 

Great game, lots of fun. Easier than the average but it's a Christmas theme so aimed at families. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Hosting was brilliant, thanks for being fabulous Matthew!

Another great game, we loved this room, perhaps partly due to our ages and a rose tinted view of the 1980s? Great fun for all ages and just a bit different. However we are not pinball wizards!

Happy to see a new venue in the city, played 2 games so far and thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks to Amelie for awesome hosting.

Easily playable as a single player or team of 2, despite the 3-8 player recommendation on the box.

Took only 47 mins and we found it quite easy.

Enjoyable puzzles.

First game of this type, a bit different. Not that exciting though. 

Not our usual choice of theme but we were limited with a last minute booking. As a team of 2 it was a bit harder to be separated at the start but I wouldn't have liked being in the room with a larger team as it was small in general. A couple of innovative things but otherwise a fairly standard creepy old toilet! Lizzie was lovely but we missed John's enthusiasm from the previous day. 

This is their hardest game, we liked it slightly less than the others more due to there being a lot of looking for things rather than puzzles, we find that harder. Still enjoyed it though. John was a fabulous host. 

Loved this room, our first in this venue. Some really different puzzles. Major thanks to John who made the experience with his hosting. 

Good local themed room, some puzzles we hadn’t seen before. Great hosts! It’s not fancy but we really enjoyed it. 

Enjoyed this as a game in itself but it wasn’t what we were expecting as an ‘escape room’. 

Easy to find, and to park, staff friendly and helpful, venue clean and pleasant. 

The tech and the kit were top notch and I’d highly recommend it to people who enjoy computer games.

For escape room enthusiasts, it’s maybe worth a go but it’s not quite what we expected it to be. 

Note: I suffer with vertigo and motion sickness and I felt unwell for the rest of the day after this and the lovely freebie (VR swing / coaster ride) they offered us at the end. Just the game I might not have been as bad, and it’s possible other games may have been more suitable had I mentioned it before we started, but I’d expected to be walking around a virtual room solving puzzles, not climbing, shooting arrows and sailing! Oops.

Okay room, nothing spectacular

Decent room but hosting at Exeter left something to be desired. Visited the Central Birmingham branch the day before this and the difference was striking. We got out of the room in 30 minutes and the response from the host (a different one to when we went in) was ‘Your time is 30:02 but we’re out of time cards. Was your locker number 1?’ We were left to sort out our own photo and leave. The game itself was fine, a couple of glitchy bits but it really was the (lack of) hosting which let it down. Rating is for the game.

Thanks so much to Bronwyn, their hosting really added to the experience for us. We enjoyed the room so much more because we felt they were genuinely taking notice of what we were doing.

Thanks for making our experience great. 

Thanks Justin for hosting our first game at this venue, we really enjoyed it and appreciated you taking the time to chat with us even when you were obviously busy. 

You really have to think like the character, creepy!
