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
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
