Escape Room Experience
Pros:
"The immaterium escape room is the highest quality escape room I've seen so far!"
"The design of the challenges and setting is accurate and immersive."
"Great puzzles, really intriguing, interactive and a fun experience."
"Visited here with family at some point in 2018. To date this is the best escape room experience I've ever had."
"The whole building is very atmospheric right from the entrance, and the room we played, EPI Centre, was brilliant fun, really high quality set and challenging puzzles."
"We escaped the room within 48 minutes, which was difficult and fun."
"The puzzles are far more than just simple padlocks that you commonly see."
Cons:
"I did find that the room was quite quick to complete but we did have some experienced players."
"It's a shame it's quite expensive but they have some great challenges, scary and cryptic depending on what you want to do."
"We just had a little trouble with a certain part of the game, the clue wasn't exactly clear but that could be down to our experience of escape rooms, or lack of experience."
"No disabled access. You must walk down a steep set of stairs to access the location."
"5 is 100% the max amount of people in there as it was cramped in sections with us all in it."
"The room itself spins and we were not told this and it made me very unbalanced at times and the ceilings are very low, so if you’re 6 foot you have no chance."
"The most recent room we did was Immaterium, and although this was a great atmosphere, it was super easy and we were a little disappointed with how fast we got through it in terms of it lacking the amount of challenge we would like."
Staff and Service
Pros:
"The team were very friendly and helpful & we are very much looking forward to our next visit!"
"The staff are always fantastic they give just the right amount of help when needed and there enthusiasm for the puzzles is Contagious."
"Charlie the Game master was perfect, figured out the group dynamic and made it that much funnier."
"Thanks to Jodie for being an excellent games-master, we will definitely be back to play other rooms here next time we are in Nottingham."
"Staff (Jodie) was super friendly and helpful, a big part on establishing the ambience."
"Our host, Elinor was so lovely - they were so friendly, helpful and reassuring."
"Harry our host was very nice informative and friendly very cool guy kept us on our toes!"
Cons:
"The clues weren’t the best either the staff member kept repeating the same clue to us for about 15 minutes and we were just stood around confused and became slightly disinterested if im honest."
"Rather rushed and badly organised to get into the room i wanted to get out and shouted twice as i didnt really know how to communicate with the person running it was ignored didnt feel particularly safe."
"At the end of the session, the lady with us was annoyed that we had taken so long in one room, it was quite awkward and we weren't sure why she was acting that way."
"Unfortunately we did not have such a good time here... also one members of staff was rolling a cigarette whilst talking to us which was very unprofessional."
"The only thing that annoyed me about it slightly was that we had no idea at all how much time we had left while we were completing it."
"Even failing the second escape room it was still good fun."
"I personally think the prices could reduce by 10% as it isn't cheap, that said it feels inline with market rate."
Value and Accessibility
Pros:
"The rooms are on the level of movie sets and new rooms are popping up to cater to all tastes."
"The design of each room is done to a high standard, you feel like you really are in the story."
"These are hands down the best escape rooms that I have ever come across."
"Perfect for events, birthdays, starts to a night out or teambuilding."
"The attention to detail of the whole room was incredible! Definitely the most immersive escape room we have ever done and the ending was brilliant."
"The intricately satisfying mechanics and subtle details really brought the room to life."
"The room design is so good and so convincing! I felt like I'd stepped into another universe and felt almost lost- in a good way!"
Cons:
"It would be great if the limit could extend to 1 hour 30 minutes or give us a reminder when half of the time is passed so we could speed up a bit."
"Located in the city centre so perfect to go onto a few drinks afterwards for a comprehensive postmortem."
"The only thing I would say is the address is on one street but the entrance is in the street around the corner."
"When we arrived the whole place was a bit dirty and it did not have a nice feel to it, I get the look they’re going for but it didn’t work for me."
"I did think there was a lack of backstory and some of the sections didnt really link to the story."
"The scary ones are less scary than I was expecting we were focused on solving puzzles rather than being drawn into the story which was a shame."
"The frustrating part for me is that the rooms often seem to have some puzzle where we think the action isn't doing anything but actually you just have to do it for ages before completing the puzzle."
