Many people compare escape rooms to haunted houses, ghost tours or horror mazes. The difference is simple, in a haunted house, you’re a spectator. In an escape room, you’re the hero.

First time doing any type of Escape Room. Was so much fun, Annabella did a great job. What an awesome experience that makes you want to come back and try all the rooms. We did the Mastermind Room and found that to be a good first time challenge.

Just to be clear on my scoring system, normally for restaurants and days out but reads across fairly well for other reviews: 1⭐ Don't go, just don't. 2⭐ I can't recommend going 3⭐ It was good but probably won't go back 4⭐ It was good, would go back especially if invited but would probably look elsewhere myself first. 5⭐ It was great, would invite/recommend others there myself We did the Wild West room and were brilliantly introduced by Seb to the room really getting us in to the spirit! Yeeeehaaa! Our Games Master was Zoe who jumped in at just the right times before some of the head scratchers became frustrating, but not before we'd had a fair go. Brilliantly keeping the game flowing at a perfect pace meaning we finished JUST in the nick of time! The theming was excellent and recommend the room very much for family entertainment with our oldest party member nearly 80! Highly recommend and a special mention to Belle looking after us in reception before and after we started as well!

Gabriel, our game master, was extremely friendly and kind. He helped us at our lowest points, and when we needed it most, he pulled through for us. Gabriel will always hold a special place in our hearts 🥹🥹🥹
