A lot of fun! Really liked the signposting between clues, and the design and puzzles were really ingenious! And a nice touch at the end!

Another fun room - very dark at the start, but I guess that’s part of the vibe and makes things run a bit slower so you don’t go speeding through! Some really impressive sets and features too! Played as a 2 but would have benefitted from a third person, as we only just got out in time and missed a certain part of the room!

I ADORED this game! Such amazing set design when you get into the video game with everything looking 2D, and such fun puzzles to complete. Quinn was a brilliant, funny GM who aided the flow of the game when we needed help, and made us laugh too - and the ending is my favourite yet of any escape room!

Brilliant atmosphere and set design - loved having to unscrew a dresser from the wall and crawl through into a tunnel! Great mix of hands-on puzzles with different input methods, and funny quips from our prisoner ‘guide’ - great to have pre-prepared responses!

Another fantastic game from Clue Cracker - really felt like you were on Jungle Run back in the day! Some really impressive set builds and elements to make you feel like you’re really exploring and making your way through a desert temple! Our GM was great as Boris the monkey - it’s so much fun having the clue system as an actual part of the room!

LOVED this!! Every room set was brilliantly designed, the puzzles were satisfying and fun to solve, the whole theming was brilliant, and the ending was fabulously fast paced and intense. 

Loads of fun! Our host was brilliant, shame we didn’t catch his real name! Fun puzzles and a brilliant end set piece!

BRILLIANT hosting - great experience to have the host so involved in the room to push the story along, it really worked. Great flow to the room and lots to do so each member of the team was occupied. 

Great hosting from Mischa AKA James! He made the experience very fun and immersive, lovely interactive room with lots of different tactile puzzles, and some acting thrown in! 

A perfect room to play in December, and to celebrate a birthday! Beautiful set design, plenty puzzles to work through in a great mix of styles, and such a fun story! Not as hard as Henry Fortune so more accessible for a Christmas party if you’re looking for a great activity to do with friends/colleagues, and wonderful hosting as always! 

We had a brilliant time playing this room! The set design was amazing - you can tell a LOT of time has been put into it - it had a great variety of puzzles and locks and the whole narrative was so immersive and fun! Especially loved the magic show element and the hosts were so lovely. Can’t wait for the next instalment! 

Had great fun completing this room! Never done a room which had the theme of an escape room before, especially one themed around the company itself - very clever! Rated as quite difficult due to the sheer amount of puzzles to work on, which we completed just in the time limit, and a nice variety of puzzles too. Loved the clue system! Not quite as awe-inspiring a collection room as Daylight Robbery in Nottingham, but still so much fun. 

Brill room! Billed as family friendly but the hardest room in the venue, took my parents to do their first ever escape room and they were able to get stuck in and understand what to do quite quickly, and we escape with around 11 minutes to go with a couple of helpful clues needed - including one that apparently everyone needs so didn’t do too badly! There was plenty to do and a nice variety of classic puzzles, and a few I’d not seen before! Theming and decoration was fab and clearly a lot of time had been spent on it, though one area was a little too dark for my liking. One or two funny jump scares added a bit of jeopardy, and the hosting was great!

Such a fun room with great theming! Wide range of locks and plenty to do - our game host Em was great at letting us get on with it when we were on a roll, but also provided helpful clues which didn’t give too much away when we were stuck so we were pointed in the right direction, but not told exactly what to do - this was helpful when doing the room with a complete newbie! Couple of elements of the room looked a little tired but was still fun, and was accessible for a newbie. 

Fantastic! A little harder than their other room with plenty to do - a lot of non-linear puzzles so players could crack on with different things and always have something to do. Great hosting and clue system, and a nice mix of locks and more hi tech puzzles. Excellently themed and fantastically designed, loved it!

Absolutely loved this! One of my favourite rooms ever; so well designed, amazing variety of puzzle formats and really great theming which made it great fun! Loved the extra mission element and the hosting/clue system was brilliant. Always felt like we had something to do and were never at a loss of what to do next. 

Loved it! Such a variety of puzzles including ones I’ve never seen before, and really fun interactive elements. Really enjoyed collecting the tokens as well as completing the main escape objective. The room was so well designed and you could tell a lot of time and energy had gone into building each element, as it was themed so well. Great friendly hosting, and we enjoyed that the host took us round the room at the end to show us where the tokens were that we’d missed and how to solve the puzzles we’d missed too!

A really beautiful and well designed room with a lot of high tech puzzles - I do prefer there to be more physical locks but the tech worked perfectly with some nice physical elements and was very impressive! Some really fun and surprising elements which I’ve never seen before too, and I really enjoyed the theme. It was a little dark in places with no torches to help which was sometimes a hindrance but we could cope. Hosting was great too!

The best room I've ever done. So much fun solving all the puzzles to steal all the artefacts, so much for everyone to get stuck into at once, a laser maze to clamber through (my favourite part!) and such a great variety of puzzles including some very hands on ones which was great, and a type of lock I've never seen before! And very satisfying to steal all the artefacts, money and the diamond with over ten minutes left and run out the door with the swag bag!

Loved the way the room was split up into mini-rooms with things to collect along the way - very fast paced with a lot of non-linear puzzles so everyone could work on something at the same time. Beautiful design, great use of space, great hosting from James and a real variety of puzzles.

Love the Egyptian theme! So much fun to work through and a decent amount of puzzles - a couple were a little tricky so glad we had a bigger team so multiple people could look at a puzzle if someone was stuck. Great use of space and a great variety of puzzles.

Some good puzzles to work through including some riddles, which I hadn't really come across before in an escape room. Quite techy with a nice hands on puzzle at the end, and intriguing use of space - never been in an escape room set in an office before!

Possibly not the best choice for my first ever horror room... had to tap out after 28 minutes! So creepy it was quite hard to concentrate on the puzzles in hand, a couple of jump scares - when we quit, the GM showed us round the rest of the room and explained what would have happened if we'd carried on which was really interesting, but I'm very glad we left when we did! Great use of space, lighting and sound to enhance the creepy vibe - if you love horror games, definitely do it!

There weren't a great deal of puzzles to complete, which for their easiest/starter room makes sense. One of the puzzles tripped us up a bit but the others were quite hands on and fun to do, and the way the room began was very impressive.

Great hosting by Marcus, with a funny room introduction and helpful hints only when we needed them, great variety of puzzles - including some funny ones and some really hands-on ones - and another great use of space.

SO much fun!! Would say quite difficult just as there are a lot of puzzles to solve in the time, which is great, but I don't think having an extra team member would have helped as the room was quite linear. A brilliant variety of puzzles to solve, great story and theming, and fantastic use of space.

Fun for Horrible Histories fans! There was a lot of voiceover between different sections of the room which was quite annoying as the time was still ticking while the VO was explaining what’s happening next, but it was quite exciting - HH fans might recognise the voice behind the voiceover!

Fun puzzles and younger escapers will enjoy dressing up in historical fancy dress!

Deffo not worth £90; would have been more enjoyable if we were Peaky Blinders fans I think.

Part of the ‘set’ in the room had a padlock on which was nothing to do with the game, but wasn’t marked as such - we spent a while trying to use the set to see if it was part of the game or find a key for the lock - the host even said people spend time trying to find a key to the lock, so it seems strange they wouldn’t put a ‘do not touch’ sticker on or tell people that it’s not part of the game prior to entering. 

Feels like there were very few puzzles to solve, but they were quite varied, if easy - a lot of mag locks though. 

Brilliantly designed room with lots to do, and a large variety of puzzles - even the waiting room was themed! Loved it!

Was a shame really as it would have been brilliant if we’d had a different host - space jail is a great theme! - part of the fun of escape rooms is having the chance to work things out on your own, which is hard to do when you’re told exactly what to do throughout the 60 mins!

One of the mag locks broke which meant we didn’t actually have to complete one of the puzzles to open the lock…
