RIDDLE WITHIN – Flight 338
Within our enthusiast community, this has been one of the most anticipated games (particularly within London). Based on a real airplane (although grounded), the opening has been anything but smooth, and reviews has been very mixed. However, in the midst of Storm Dennis, we pressed on. The Set The set is based on an actual … Continue reading RIDDLE WITHIN – Flight 338
CLEVER DILEMMA – Murder at the Wild West Quest saloon
This room marked a few different firsts for me - the first Cowboy themed room I've done, the first time I've been surprised by a trip to an escape room, and the first time my boyfriend has successfully surprised me! The front of Clever Dilemma is pretty unassuming, located closer to the train station rather … Continue reading CLEVER DILEMMA – Murder at the Wild West Quest saloon
SCRAMM – Chocolate Factory
Often when looking for escape rooms to do, I'll look at what is in the vicinity, or what has good reviews. However, we discovered this one whilst visiting a relative just outside Banbury, and when we saw the theme was a Chocolate Factory, we knew we had to do it! The Set The first thing … Continue reading SCRAMM – Chocolate Factory
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
