As I near 100 rooms, now sees the time to create a vague ranking. PLEASE NOTE this is entirely personal to me and my experiences, attempting to rank rooms with (sometimes) years since playing them!

TIMETRAP – Imaginarium
Having completed TimeTrap's (now closed) "Rebellion" room previously, I was looking forward to returning to try out another! Previously, I loved their set design and creative puzzles, so when we found out they had an "Alice in Wonderland" themed room, I could only imagine how much their creativity could come into play! This was my … Continue reading TIMETRAP – Imaginarium
M4 ESCAPES – The Bunker
I happened to be in Swindon for the day, so thought I'd take advantage of being in the area to have a go at a local room. The room we were hoping to do was fully booked, but a quick google showed up this newly opened room. Having never heard of it before, we were … Continue reading M4 ESCAPES – The Bunker
ESCAPE ROOMS CARDIFF – Press Start
We were waiting eagerly for this room to be 'released' for quite a few months - nearly a year in fact! The release date kept getting pushed back, with it finally opening the booking portal around 3 months beyond the original date (I believe). Obviously this meant there was a lot of hype, but did … Continue reading ESCAPE ROOMS CARDIFF – Press Start
CTRL ALT ESC – Detention
Having completed their other two rooms (Spacescape and Frankenscape), I was greatly looking forward to our summer holiday - a return to Kent meant a return to 'CTRL ALT ESC'! Their other two rooms were outstanding (Spacescape remains one of my favourites), and I had heard great things about their new room, 'Detention'. Rather than … Continue reading CTRL ALT ESC – Detention
CO-DECODE – Professor Dunstan, Sub Terra
We had heard a lot about these two rooms, and so thought we'd make a day of it and do both in the same day. For that reason, I'm going to review them both here. I'd seen "Co-Decode" ads popping up on my feed, and TripAdvisor, but hadn't given it much thought. It was only … Continue reading CO-DECODE – Professor Dunstan, Sub Terra
EXIT THE ROOM – Bomb
Upon learning I was being sent to Manchester for work (again) I immediately recruited a colleague to join me for one of the many rooms Manchester has to offer. Having already experienced "Breakout" (and enjoying them), I thought I'd instead opt for a Manchester based company instead. Combining this criteria with looking for discounts led … Continue reading EXIT THE ROOM – Bomb
LONDON ESCAPED – School of Magic
I booked this room alongside another magic room (London Escape - Witchcraft and Wizardry) for a group of friends visiting from university. We met through the Harry Potter society, so seemed like the perfect room to do! I found this room via a Facebook ad and was very much looking forward to it from the … Continue reading LONDON ESCAPED – School of Magic
ESCAPE ENTERTAINMENT – Bank Heist
We did this room back in December, and booked it so we could duel as two teams. We formed our teams ahead of time, but unfortunately all members of my team were actually late (including me!). This meant our experience wasn't off to the most auspicious start. The company was fairly easy to find (which … Continue reading ESCAPE ENTERTAINMENT – Bank Heist
RIDDLR- The Wizard’s Apprentice
This company is one of the first I encountered - around 3 years ago. I very much enjoyed the room back then, so thought a return trip was in order. As one of my teammates had already completed the "Brunel" room, and I am not a fan of horror, we opted for their newly created … Continue reading RIDDLR- The Wizard’s Apprentice
