I was hoping to really enjoy this game after it was so highly rated, unfortunately it was complete opposite.At multiple instances we were disappointed and at 3 points we were literally told by the host "sorry guys, just serving at the bar so I haven't been watching" 🙃 when asking for a clue, absolutely diabolical. 
Tech (or button pressing) didn't happen in a timely fashion and lead to moments of frustration as were told to go back "and try again" and suddenly the item now worked. 
We also skipped the end of the game (due to tech malfunctioning), and when asked about it, the host was clearly on damage control.
We were offered a discount as we had problems - turns out this was just the returning discount that everyone is offered, which felt like a kick in the teeth. 
The cherry on the cake was the host asking for a positive review on TripAdvisor.
Overall wouldn't recommend.

Another lovely game from Xscapenow.  Game flowed very well and kept a team of two busy for the entire time!

Athough the puzzles are on the easy side, there's a lot to do! So beware!

Really loved the idea of this room - However felt disappointed by the execution. It's a standard heist game with a element of "collection" over the top which feels mostly messy at times. 

The bonus puzzles were explained to us at the start which was clear - However sometimes the path of the actual game without getting caught up with bonus puzzles was ambiguous, and left us scratching our heads.  

There's also a element to this game where you have one chance to get it and if you fail that's it - This is slightly frustrating if your team members aren't on the limber side! 

Overall a classic "Breakout" game with breakout puzzles that doesn't really push any boundaries which is a shame - If you're enthusiastic .....manage expectations and play other well renowned heist collection games.

A fantastic theme and the game play was a fun and innovative, but the game feels slightly hampered by its reputation, but still an enjoyable game either way. 

However, if you haven't played yet I definitely recommend!

Whilst a great theme, unfortunately the game play and decor felt a little light. 

I was looking forward to this game as I'd heard great things, however I felt a little disappointed as overall the game is on the easier side and doesn't have alot to do.

If you've played similar games, then aspects of this game will be very easy for you! If you're a first time player it might trip you up slightly.

Absolutely amazing hosting from all of the staff, if you've been you know what I mean! 

However the game it's self was a little start and stop and felt a little disjointed. There's a element that felt clever and very central to the theme, but we did have a few issues with this item.

Another solid game from Escapable, however probably the weakest game they have.

It's a nice standard room with nothing too far out there, unfortunately a few bits do look a bit sad now.

Absolutely adored this game.  Without spoiling too much - magic is the key! 

Everyone will love this game, even if you're not a fan of magic as the puzzles and room itself has plenty to do! 

My only slightly criticism is certain aspects of the game are bottle necked which I didn't enjoy.

Another great game from Compendium - An older room, but just hold up against their newest additions to the centre.

Some puzzles were good, others were very leapy in logic. 

Game was ok - Room was smelly and mouldy.

Whilst we enjoyed this game - It felt like a shadow compared to Copplestones.  Puzzles didn't feel a rewarding and it really let us down - Game was still amazing.

First part of the game was great - Then the second half was literally a recycled from an older game. Shame had potential.

A great mix of puzzles and the theming was great. Recommend if you're in the area.

A big step up from Identify which this game has replaced - probably a good starter room.

A great game from BO - A step up from their usual games. Some clever puzzles, space was great and we escaped with no clues! (whoop!)

We had a great time in End of the line, puzzles were clever and the room looks fab! - The only downside was the host. They just didn't want to be there...
