broken techcramped

Tiny area, puzzles cramped together, text difficult to read. Two partly broken puzzles, others needed wiggling to get the puzzles to work. Very frustrating.

This is a more adult Christmas room, it's nicely decorated and themed but Rudolph appeals more to children. I've not played Inspector yet, so I'm not sure how many puzzles are the same/similar, at least one puzzle we did looked like it would be very similar to the one in Inspector. 

The three children enjoyed the game and with a new pointers they managed to solve everything, but I did struggle at points with locks and information in dark corners. 

Fun Christmas game for beginners/family, but a couple of enthusiasts would blast through very quickly. We had fun and the children loved it.

Lovely family friendly Christmas room which is pitched nicely for beginners and children. We played with an eleven year old, a ten year old and a six year old and all of them solved the puzzles with only a few prompts from me (mainly ppinting out the signposting). We all had a great time.

I wouldn't recommend for enthusiasts unless you love Christmas rooms and don't mind a quick game, but its perfect to introduce family and children to Escape Rooms.

A collection room in two halves,  theres alot to do in each section so enthusiasts can divide and conquer for the whole game. A great hour of puzzling.  Love the clue system too... so cute!

Half collection, half traditional escape room, and lots of puzzles! There's plenty to do for bigger teams and enthusiasts and a nice mix of puzzles. Well themed and finished to a high standard.

Perfectly themed around the Inveraray Jail this is an excellent escape game and well worth the 90-ish minute drive from Glasgow to get to.  We were welcomed by your host in character as a prison guard, and led up to our cell in the debtors prison and told that we we wanted to get out then we had to repay out debt, so you need to find/earn or 'borrow' enough coins to gain your freedom. 

The gameplay here is open with plenty to do , so it lets larger teams all  do something at the same time. There's a good mix of puzzle types, from tasks and logic puzzles, to searching/observation and dexterity challenges. The entire game is very low tech, what you'd expect in 1850, but this works to the games advantage as it allows the game to be adapted to the team, enthusiasts will be rewarded less for each task when they're blasting through the puzzles, but new teams who are struggling can be rewarded more for each completed task so that they don't completely fail the room. For a tourist attraction where almost all players will be families or newbies then this is an inspired feature. 

This is probably the best game we've played at a historical attraction, and I hope Inveraray Jail have great success with it. Oh, and extra thanks to the  jail staff who allowed our dog to accompany us in the room, the  jail is dog friendly but the escape room isn't (officially). Send an email before you go to ask.

Finally, the Jail tour is well worth doing while you're there. and if you want food then the George Hotel next door makes a cracking Sunday lunch (but book in advance), and is also dog friendly.

This is another adventure where the actor interaction elevates the game from great to blooming brilliant. Its a game where the more you interact the more fun you have. It's a wonderfully macabre adventure... being invited to dinner has never been so much fun!

I will openly admit that I didn't get on with this adventure, I felt disengaged in the first section of the game and never really re-connected with it. But on reflection, and I have reflected alot on this game, it's just that repetitive actions/puzzling are just not my bag and I don't enjoy solving the same thing over and over.But don't let me put you off, the game is a stunning build, the detail is fabulous and the narrative is well woven into the adventure. There's lots of variety in the puzzles and the tech used make it feel magical. We had a great host too.

Everything you'd expect from a busy kitchen during service, but without the screaming chef! This makes the stress of Masterchef look like a yoga retreat... it's fast and frenetic and SO much fun... it was my favourite of the games we played at Omescape and I would love a uk version to be made.

Not the cheapest adventure but one you really must add to your list if you're in the area. When you book you've got to ask for Steele as your host (hopefully he is still working there). This guy made a great horror room into an intest horror spectacle as he really did ramp up the action and piled on the pressure. It was pure adrenaline from start to finish. Plenty of puzzles too, and they weren't just filler between the action, they did require teamwork and brainpower. Great use of space to disorient and confuse and a solid storyline too. An absolute Cracker of a play and one of our trip highlights.

Brilliant room, and so packed with puzzles... you really do end up running round like a real lab rat! Great moments of humour in both the storyline and in what the team need to do to complete the missions. A room that doesn't take itself seriously at all. It's a must play.

A great room with a wonderful storyline and inventive puzzles, the signposting is subtle but effective and the narrative is woven into every detail and action. Also this venue has the cutest logo for their merchandise... ;)

This was an absolute hoot of a game thanks to our wonderfully crazy host. It is a game with laughs, improv, moral choices and judgement calls, lots of puzzles and beautiful decor. I just wanted to stay and play it again. Brilliant entertainment with top drawer puzzling.

Although it sounds like a serial killer room its actually plant-based. Interesting concept and puzzles but signposting is rather instructional rather than intuitive.

This is well worth the trip to get to, you enter the Dream Lab and are greeted by a white room with rather medical-looking staff. For a second or two I thought we'd wandered into some sort of cosmetic surgery business and not an escape room. But this is a dream lab that can place you and your team into the same lucid dream using their unique technology.
As for the room...I mean dream... well it was more than fabulous. If you're a fan of the Monkey Island games or the Pirates of the Caribbean films then you'll immediately see some nods to those, but there are also escape room nods and sci-fi influences in there.

But it's not all about the references, the set is amazingly detailed, the puzzles are fun and varied with lots of communication, the transitions are great, and the interactions... well one character we interacted with made me laugh so much I nearly wet myself, and the other character I wanted to take home with me. 

This is a fabulous adventure for lost pirate treasure, and with all stories with a scary bad guy it's peppered throughout with lots of humour, and a few dodgy-looking sea cucumbers!!!  Its epic!

This is a rather clever game as its run by adaptive AI which will simplify or complicate your puzzles depending on how quickly you're progressing through the game, this means you get a full hour play regardless of how good you are at escape rooms. Oh, and its a 4 player game... 
You're all given a role and a magical item which will aid you with the puzzles, you need to look out for clues and signposting on if your item can be useful. Its a beautifully built game with a magical fairy tale theme with a nice variety of puzzles which require co-operation and communication. My favourite of all the ones we played at SVP.

Not the biggest of space (max team size is 4) but the puzzles in there are well presented and clever.  A great room for enthusiast couples, we played as a 4 and there were points where we has to squeeze into areas to see what was going on. This was much better than I expected and the narrative worked very well with the puzzles.

A fun circus/carnival themed room with lots of skill-type tasks which you'd expect to see in a carnival. The use of space is excellent with the upper area of the room utilised for the story progression so everyone can see the story unfold. Clever and fun room.

Having played the online avatar version in 2020 I felt rather at home in this environment as it was familiar. Not all of the puzzles are the same, but the ones I recognised I left to the others in the team. 
This is a great room to play, theres lots of space to explore and plenty of hotel themed puzzles to solve. A great room to play.

A slightly creepy medically themed room which takes a rather dark turn. Well-themed puzzles which are punctuated with video vignettes of the consequences of what our puzzle solving has caused. 
A great finale which requires full co-operation of the team and a large amount of patience! A great room,  which illicits some surprising feelings.

Very clever room, which require you to learn from your mistakes. After all you're here because you need to prove you've learned from your past crimes.... and if you don't learn then you'll never move on. 
Our host wasn't accustomed to running the room in English, but she did a great job despite having to cope with 4 very different accents in our team.

We found ourselves in a house while a storm raged outside and soon it became apparent we were in danger... A nice variety of puzzles and come creepy moments make this ia great adventure. I found it a little too dark and dim for my eyes, especially when looking for numbers hidden in plain sight, but the adventure is set at night and I have old eyes.

A very clever room with some beautifully subtle signposting. The adventure starts with some nice warm-up puzzles but soon progresses to more complex and detailed puzzles which require the team to be very observant and co-operate to solve.  The narrative is quite detailed and I needed to concentrate to make sure I took in the story as I was focussed on the puzzles and wasn't paying full attention, but it all became clear in the final stages. A well-crafted game with some wonderful puzzles. A must play.

We played version 2 (not sure what version 1 was like) and its a great adventure with some excellent interactions. The start of the game is very reminiscent of End of the Line at ClueHQ Warrington, and I had deja vu moments for the first 20 mins, but after that it diverged and we were soon bartering for tools.
Great narrative, inventive puzzles which fit the environment and narrative well, and a nice conclusion to the wrap up the adventure. An excellent game.

Fun room based around the life of Bernie Block (who is a rather chatty guy!) This is a room for beginners and families, so its mainly linear. Fun puzzles but nothing you haven't seen before.  A fun room and great for families.

This is the first time I've stood in a room for the introduction with my mouth wide open and my eyes even wider. As a fan of all the Jim Henson worlds/films my heart skipped with joy... and we hadn't even started! 
Wardrobe is a beautiful journey in a magical land with some interesting creatures (whom I spent far too much time talking to!). The puzzles are substantial and require the team to work together and your progress is nicely logged. 
The story progresses and changes into the next chapter and this has a different feel, but does wrap the narrative up nicely. I loved this room for its whimsy and its wonder. Just fabulous.
