Wow!! This is such an amazing room. It begins when you ring the buzzer (arrive as a full group and don’t arrive much before your time just be there at the start time).  We popped to the toilet which was part of the theming.

The game is 90 mins, the most immersive we’ve done in the uk and honestly so cool! We were blown away by the immersion and theming and the puzzles were great. 

There are a lot of surprises (all good).  Although the theming is scary and there is a live interaction there are zero scares or jumps it’s all just themed and id be happy to bring kids ten plus to this room (younger would struggle to follow the story and time).

Loved this and can’t wait for the next one on site - I’d be shocked if this doesn’t become one of the top in the UK. 

A really fun room different from any time travel I’ve done before and as a result very cool - was particularly fun to choose your own music during the game - definitely recommend using this functionality when you’re in the Time Machine.

Puzzles were all great and logical and used some mechanisms I’ve never seen before so again pretty cool. 

Recommend this room. 

We did this with our kids and they loved it. There were no real tricky puzzles and it was very immersive in a Star Wars type theme. The evolution of the room was really cool and immersive through the device and a climb into another room. I found the puzzles not highly satisfying because they weren’t that tricky but that aside it was a great and immersive experience. 

This room is completely different from anything I’ve done before - I suspect it may become an award winner. 

It’s an achievement room so you can increase your score by doing more puzzles but the escape element feels strong too and runs all the way to the end.  I don’t always love achievement rooms because I like the feeling of doing everything but we loved this one it’s so different. The room itself is really interesting, the use of tech is really good.  The puzzles are fun. Overall highly recommend this. 

Loved this room. Different from anything we’ve done before, so immersive from the start and the briefing. Lots of different puzzles and features not seen before. A really rewarding side quest - lots of nice surprises and great hosting. Don’t be fooled by the outside (it’s next to a cinema and pub so there were kids parties as we arrived) this is a great escape room for experienced players and newbies and we loved it - highly recommend 

This is a new operator in Reading which is exciting as obviously Reading has lots of great rooms and we are running out having done most of them! 

This is a fun room, with beautiful set and some surprises. It has only been open a few months and they definitely have some challenges with items that are likely to get broken and similar to someone else the final code whilst correct failed to unlock a lock for us due to a reset error by the venue so we had to be given a key - it was minor in terms of interruption but worthy of resolving the issue.

Overall  fun room and I’d recommend it when in Reading. It is a little reminiscent of age of magic but that’s a great game too. 

A solid very satisfying room. The host Jacob was brilliant and clearly passionate about escape rooms.  

We agreed the scare level would be atmospheric and scary with no jump scares - this was perfect and immersive and meant given we are wimps post the reading witch that we could concentrate on puzzles.

The room is padlock based in a very fun way - really immersive and we managed with just one tiny hint. It was as a result very satisfying, certainly not easy but fun to decode all the puzzles whilst having lots of immersive atmosphere 

Definitely recommend it for duos. 

We did this as we’ve done so many escape rooms but felt we were missing the UK’s top room due to our fear of horror. I don’t watch horror movies as I get too scared and my room partner seemed confident we would be fine. We did the time machine in the week before and also contacted the owners who gave me some spoilers on request to help me feel comfortable with the horror - my room partner misjudged their ability as he was terrified throughout. I was doing quite well but the drama ramps up and with a few more surprises I was truly terrified by the end . The scares and acting are really good, surprising and terrifying - the main scares mid puzzle are more jumps but between puzzles there is some genuine terrifying stuff.

As wimps we were buzzing to compete it but certainty the scares mean we couldn’t puzzle as hard as usual.

The hosts were fab and adapted the room for our fear and for us as a two. There were a couple of minor issues but they sought to solve this really well.

We were buzzing from the room and it’s so cool we highly recommend it but equally horror won’t be my genre going forward to I’m retiring from horror rooms on a huge high. If you’re scared do speak to them In advance. 

This is a family friendly escape room as compared to the other one on site. Most original room we’ve seen - the room is constantly changing and surprising you immersing you in the story. You arrive straight into the story no old fashioned instructions it’s all given to you in character- we loved it! 

Avoid parking in the car park if you can unless you have a tiny car.

One of my favourite rooms and highly recommend this if you’re in New York . A stranger things theme or 80s theme if you love the 80s. Very believable.

This is the must do in New York for a pair of- it is so beautiful and immersive. Highly recommended 

This was a fun room, I found it more Linear and less immersive than dirty money at this venue that I preferred (but my team partner preferred the cabin so …!). 

One of my favourite in the UK. We were always doing something and lots to keep us busy together didn’t really need any hints everything was very logical, doable and challenging. The theme is very immersive and the props are real! 

Some of it was a little lengthy so allow time. The videos are the immersion the packs are to solve the murder. I enjoyed it it was challenging to solve, no puzzles but lots of deducing. 

I did this room with my 3 children (10,13,14), I have done around 40 rooms one of the children has never done a room and the others have done a couple.  

It is very immersive from the beginning - there is a slightly scary moment which the host handled well by making sure my youngest was with me for this. The rooms are so immersive and beautiful with some fantastic ways to deliver clues through characters in the room. 

There is a lot to do and I wouldn’t recommend it for less than 3/4 as we were working in pairs fairly solidly on different things the whole time.

This is one of my favourite rooms I’ve ever done - highly recommend 

A fun room with fun puzzles. A little easy for us but great fun. It’s not extremely immersive but enjoyed it. 

Really enjoyed this room as an experienced 2. No big wow or surprise moments. Great hosting from Joe and puzzles were a mix of logical or puzzles.  Very much non linear as the first room as 5 or 6 solved and the second main room has probably 5 or 6 non linear and 4 others.  Theming is good but not amazing. It is a traditional padlock room overall we really enjoyed it. Puzzles were mostly at a moderate fun level not too easy not too hard. Neither of us have great eyesight in dim lighting so we struggled a little with locks, a colour based puzzle and there is a puzzle where something is hidden in plain sight even with a very very direct clue we struggled to see it because of our slightly older eyes and even after the clues only one of us could see it. 

I’ve always loved clue quest rooms we’ve done all of them before. This one is too hard with not enough time. It’s very tech focused but not immersive or with any real surprises so it’s a bit plain. The tech puzzles aren’t as fun as logic puzzles sadly I can’t recommend it. 

Played at home - good fun. 

Not bad for an amateur in house one at a hotel 

Good at home game 

Such good fun. Some puzzles but mostly interactive game play. 

Great fun for those that love Harry Potter.many of the puzzles weren’t logic led so I can’t say I loved it. 

Very immersive and outstanding design absolutely beautiful room. Host was brilliant. So many surprises and so many puzzles there is loads to do. Very challenging for two people but we did it. 

We have done many escape rooms all over the world this one is one of my favourite if not the favourite.

Loved this venue the rooms are really well designed and run. The puzzles have multi facets and the room was very challenging. We only just made it out as a two. Highly recommended. 

Not good for people with any mobility needs or claustrophobic (it’s very brief in a small space). There is climbing.

Definitely not an escape room more like a treasure trail with immersive actors, small puzzles, hunts and other immersive elements. It was fun but probably more fun for smaller groups as otherwise you got too far from the action. Teenagers got a bit tired throughout. It was good but I prefer escape rooms.

One of my favourite escape rooms that I’ve done. Several surprises. Lots of puzzles al logical and plenty for both of us to get on with. Dan was a fantastic host really got us immersed - I believed it was possible we had been kidnapped. Not scary as such but definitely some elements that might scare children.  

Definitely recommend this one.  The team are super helpful this is the second time we’ve booked last minute and had lovely accommodating staff. 

Did this with my two children and we all loved it. We made it through quickly with well hosted help. I’d recommend this room to anyone enjoying Harry Potter.

We really enjoyed this as a team of sisters. We made lots of money and so you always escape. 

Did this in Leicester Square. The games are way too quick here to count as an escape room but as a huge crystal maze fan I honestly loved this and each zone is so realistic to the original show.

The hosts are also brilliant.

The crystal dome is disappointing as the silver strips are basically all tattered so hence hard to play properly. 

This venue is phenomenal and full of surprises.  We completed it within the time as a pair although needed a couple of hints.  

I would highly recommend it although I prefer the original room. 

This is a scare room. You can ask for them to make it less scary which we did and they happily obliged which meant no jump scares, lighting atmospheric rather than terrifying.

This is the only room we’ve ever not fully completed out of 25-30 so that was disappointing.  Many other rooms where we are only a couple of minutes away we have been given the couple of minutes and the host was happy for us to walk through the remainder at the end of this but ideally I would have liked the extra couple of minutes to do it in game. 

The puzzles are all logical and enjoyable and it is atmospheric in here.  

We always enjoy agent brains and the hosting is great.

The puzzles in this room are great especially before the heist - once in the heist it’s a do as many as you can to make as much money as possible. 

We enjoyed it but the last part leaves you wanting more. 

This isn’t just an escape room it’s also other things at this site and so the hosts are a little distracted and not always able to give correct clues. We also correctly solved a puzzle but the lock didn’t accept the code which wasted over ten mins. There aren’t many escape rooms in this area so maybe an opportunity in the future. 

This is one of our favourite escape rooms in the world and any escape room enthusiasts in Sydney should ensure to do this.  

The hosting is out of this world.  The theming is incredible and goes across many amazing books (I’m an avid reader).  There are bonus challenges which are excellent and the big reveals honestly so surprising.

Do this room! 

We love the games at agent brains and the hosting is great.

You start separately in this game and that’s different although we don’t love it as we like working together and ultimately challenged a bit as we are good at different things.

The room was a little too linear which meant we were often watching each other rather than kept busy and this would be worse for a larger group.

There was a slight error as I think a hosts phone was left in the room. 

Overall not my favourite agent brains room but have done all the rooms and would go back. 

Host was great and the room is very well done. Some of the tech didn’t work (one button) so that didn’t help.  

It wasn’t my style of puzzles lots of navigating and three dimensional thinking rather than code and puzzle cracking  - that said my partner who loves special puzzles and tech loved it. 

Loved this as a card for an enthusiast- the puzzles were logical and enjoyable alone and then you get a message from the gifter at the end. Highly recommend this as a birthday card or gift 

A fun puzzle at home with lots of common elements from a normal escape room with decoding and looking for clues.

The only reservation I have is honestly the cutting out took ages I would happily have paid double for something pre cut. 

We always enjoy the rooms at agent brains - this is one of our less favourite ones but all the same the hosting is outstanding.  

Plenty to do as a couple but that said there is one element that is highly repetitive and the final element is tricky as if you miscount you have to start again which isn’t ideal and can be a bottle neck.

I have done all the rooms at agent brains and would recommend the team here. 

This is one of the escape rooms that you always succeed which some people enjoy although we prefer escape rather than a changeable prize pot.  

All that said it’s a really fun room really well done with many many puzzles to solve and lots for any team to get on with.  Very enjoyable. 

Definitely not an escape room. There are puzzles but it’s all about solving a murder. There are actors in the room and remotely - the whole thing is believable. Booking was tricky but we did it in 2025 when another lady booked on (tends not to run with too few people).

Really enjoyed it and we got the verdict but it wasn’t easy. Very rewarding and I’d recommend it. 

This is the latest game at agent brains and we really enjoyed it. I think it is their best yet combining what is great about the other rooms.

For anyone that enjoyed the 90s this has the added nostalgia element - I really felt like I was at a party from my younger days with excellent 90s music sounding like it was at a party downstairs.

The puzzles are all logical - although one room seemed like a very complicated large scale way to do a fairly straightforward puzzle. 

This would suit large groups as particularly the last room has lots of puzzles to crack. We did it as a pair and as always the hosting was spot on.

I think this is their best yet and I hope maybe they will have some new rooms in the future as we have kept coming back to do everything here. 

This room advertises as for 3 or more and I’m not sure if they adjust it when it’s just 2 but it was very enjoyable as 2 and they were very accommodating to our last minute booking.  

It’s very immersive and you quickly get into the zone. There are also some surprise rooms. Puzzles are logical and we could solve them with only a couple of prompts throughout the game.  

The room was rather warm on a hot summers day so worth bearing in mind! It is also very dark initially if I were the games master I’d give some sort of additional light as they are clear you cannot touch your phone and as we are not young anymore our eyes actually struggled with some puzzles in the dark. 

Really fun room. Kept us both busy and rarely needed a hint. Would recommend this - it is a good room and very enjoyable lots of puzzles to solve. 

This was a fun game with some good surprises throughout 

. The GM gave thoughtful clues. 

Enjoyed this and would go the venue again. 

This has so many surprises and is really great fun. We did it as 4 teams of 5 as a work party. It is fun being able to compete against other teams. We really enjoyed the feedback at the end which was so personalised. The theming is just brilliant both before and after! 

Absolutely great theming here. You are shrunk down and that plays a huge part in the story. We have done all the rooms here this year as a team of two, they did say to us at the beginning that two was going to be extremely challenging for us and it was. We did need extra time but they gave it to us. The gm was brilliant and we enjoyed solving the puzzles.
