Breakin’ Escape Games: The Flying Dutchman

London, Feb 2017

This pirate-themed room was described both as the easiest one at Breakin’, and the most kid-friendly, for which reason it was last on my list to play. Having now played it, it’s definitely the one I’d suggest for beginners, but it’s also a really fun… (more)

Breakin’ Escape Games: Blackwing’s Cave

London, Feb 2017

Breakin’ claims to be “the most immersive Escape Room experience in London” – do they deliver?

The first of their six rooms I tried was the superhero-themed don’t-say-Batman game. What’s clear from the outset is that this is a high tech build, with … (more)

AIEscape: Kill M.A.D.

London, Jan 2017

Kill M.A.D. is a psychological thriller set in a hospital. It is one of those gems of a room where absolutely everything ties in with the story and theme, down to the smallest detail. It is deliberately and unapologetically linear, which usually isn’… (more)

Thinking Outside The Box: Stranded

Having just completed the venue’s original and superb Fun House room, and enjoying it immensely, we were offered a bit of a discount to run straight into the Hex room. The Hex room is pitched as a Horror/Thriller experience. There’s some basic theme … (more)

Mystery Cube

London, Dec 2016

Don’t be put off by the trek down to South Wimbledon. This labour of love of a room is well worth a visit! We were sworn to secrecy by Professor QB, so I won’t say anything about the theme of the room, which may or may not be a cube.

We visited as a… (more)

Do Stuff Escape Games: Hostage Hideout

London, Dec 2016

Hostage Hideout is hosted in a room in a pub, which is a sensible arrangement for an escape room since it neatly provides a waiting area that’s more spacious and better served than most rooms can manage.

This is a game created and run by enthusiasts… (more)

Time Run: Celestial Chain

London, Nov 2016

Celestial Chain has spectacular production values. Let’s be quite clear about that: the effects, stage craft and technology on display here are in a completely different league to most rooms, even more so than Time Run’s original room. Despite that, … (more)

Escape in Time: Secret Studio

London, Oct 2016

This room was a cut above the rest from the moment we arrived. Set up and run by enthusiasts from an actual film studio, the props and theming were outstanding and the room has a couple of moments in particular that really stand out.

One puzzle was … (more)
