As we were making the journey to Swindon to do an escape room, we thought we may as well do a second whilst we were there. We picked A-I-9 as the concept was intriguing (attempting to shut down a highly intelligent AI system), but I believe a team mate also like the look of their … Continue reading CLUEHQ SWINDON – A-I-9

CLUEHQ SWINDON – The Betrayal of Cluetankhamun
Since moving to London it's become a little difficult to do rooms with my regular team, particular as we've already crossed off most of the 'local' rooms back in South Wales. This means we've started branching out a little more, and this particular day we decided to meet halfway (roughly) in Swindon. Unfortunately, the rooms … Continue reading CLUEHQ SWINDON – The Betrayal of Cluetankhamun
HANDMADE MYSTERIES -Lady Chastity’s Reserve (18+)
I booked this room on a bit of a whim, feeling that itch again and knowing this was close to our office. I took some work colleagues who were all very green (this was the first for one), so it's little surprise that this was my first failure! Although it was my first failure, I … Continue reading HANDMADE MYSTERIES -Lady Chastity’s Reserve (18+)
LOCK AND CODE – Homecoming & The Alchemy Enigma
I admit I have overlooked this company on more than once occasion due to their website, but after a strong recommendation from some friends my mother and I went ahead and booked not one, but two rooms here. It is a little out of the way, and looks very unassuming. However, despite the plain façade … Continue reading LOCK AND CODE – Homecoming & The Alchemy Enigma
EXITUS – The curse of Senutep
Exitus in Cardiff is definitely a hidden gem. I reviewed their first room after we visited in December (2018) and I absolutely loved it. I was so so excited when I found out they were opening a new room, and couldn't wait to visit. I'm just as excited now to know they will be opening … Continue reading EXITUS – The curse of Senutep
BREAKIN ESCAPE ROOMS – Heist Plan
I was casually on the escape room Facebook group when I noticed a fellow enthusiast would be visiting London from Denmark, and was looking for room recommendations. Knowing Breakin' Escape had offered me a free room, I asked Henrik if he and his girlfriend (the wonderful Freja) would like to do it with me. They … Continue reading BREAKIN ESCAPE ROOMS – Heist Plan
BREAKOUT MANCHESTER – Madchester
I often travel for work, although I don't tend to travel too far. However, when I was handed a meeting in Manchester I knew I wanted to fit in an escape room. I've heard good things about the Manchester Escape Room scene. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get to the fabled Lucardo this time, but … Continue reading BREAKOUT MANCHESTER – Madchester
SECRET STUDIO
This is one of those escape rooms which I've heard pop up quite often when discussing London escape rooms. However I've avoided it as I'm a bit of a wimp when it comes to creepy atmospheres and jump scares... Alas, a friend decided it would be the perfect venue for his birthday (a combination of … Continue reading SECRET STUDIO
PUZZLE CARDS
Taking a little break from the norm to review something that's not an escape room! Jon contacted me through this site to ask me whether I'd be interested in reviewing some birthday cards he has created, which act as pseudo escape rooms. I, of course, said I'd love to, and a few days later I … Continue reading PUZZLE CARDS
ENIGMA QUESTS – School of witchcraft and wizardry
I believe this is one of the most popular 'Harry Potter' escape rooms in London, to the extent that, for as long as I've known about it, this room is booked months in advance. I actually booked this in July to play for my birthday in December. This sort of hype can be both a … Continue reading ENIGMA QUESTS – School of witchcraft and wizardry
