No Escape Reviews Summary

Room Setup and Atmosphere

Pros:

• "The room itself involved some fun, interactive puzzles and kudos to the live actress Debra who was both entertaining and scary in equal measure!"
• "The atmosphere and staff were great! Connor was really friendly and helpful, we’ll definitely come again next time we’re in London :)"
• "The Dentist escape room was really interesting and they put a lot of effort into the design and the clues."
• "The demon barber room was exceptionally put together, very well designed with great game mastering."

Cons:

• "The puzzles seemed quite worn out and didn't all work properly, and the ending was a little underwhelming."
• "The room was a bit dated and nothing ‘new’ here, especially considering the aesthetic and overall theme."
• "The dentist room wasn’t up to the standard we’ve seen of other escape rooms in and around London and the south."
• "The easiest one (demon barber) was too obscure, too much throwing you off."

Staff and Hosts

Pros:

• "Connor & Deji were very friendly and helpful, as we’d never been to an escape room before."
• "Connor, our games master was welcoming, helpful and very entertaining!"
• "Very friendly staff. My friends and I arrived at the venue, and the game master briefed us about the process and everything we need to know."
• "Connor was really helpful with the clues and made the experience very immersive and he was so enthusiastic about it!"

Cons:

• "I had a significant problem arise... Despite the short notice, I had hoped for a bit more empathy from the owner."
• "The staff was a bit unenthusiastic."
• "Unfortunately, it’s very small and super difficult. They gave us wrong clues by mistake which took around 10 minutes from our solving time."
• "Lovely, friendly hosts but one of the locks was not set up properly (it was unlocked) and we didn't realise, which meant we skipped forward a few steps."

Challenge and Engagement

Pros:

• "The Dentist was fairly difficult with some jump scares but definitely got us thinking! Enjoyed by all, thank you Deji and Ben :)"
• "This was my first escape room and I loved it. The guys running the game were super friendly and explained the whole process really well."
• "We escaped from the dentist and it was AMAZING!! Very scary and creepy, 10/10 would recommend."
• "Great experience, explanation and service was well covered strongly recommended for small group or friends. Game itself is well designed and exciting."

Cons:

• "We were a little disappointed with the Dentist escape room, there wasn’t much of a storyline and the codes and puzzles seemed very random."
• "The Barber room is probably one of the poorest rooms we’ve ever done. The puzzles were poorly executed."
• "Very poor experience. The escape room was nothing particularly special. All the props felt very old and well worn as well as all the padlocks."
• "No real logical flow from one clue to the next. Basically find a number then try it on all the padlocks."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "I thought it was excellent value for money, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone with a group of friends with an hour or so to kill, to give it a go."
• "Very good fun experience, the dentist was fairly difficult with some jump scares but definitely got us thinking! Enjoyed by all."
• "Fun experience in the dentist room was great! Find the padlock codes, bit of a guessing game for which padlock but still enjoyable."
• "A fun escape room for me and my daughters who are new at this kind of experiences."

Cons:

• "Overall decent enough but nothing to make you go wow, which was a shame given that this was the most expensive room we've done."
• "The puzzles also seemed quite worn out and didn't all work properly, and felt the ending was a little underwhelming too - we didn't fully realise we were done."
• "We had a fun time solving the Sweeney Todd mystery. We were 4 people in total and the other couple was a bit all over the place, not really cooperating with and trying to take over the game."
• "Honestly don't waste your money - they lure you in with an epic fake photo but you are shoved into a 2x3m shack on room on the top of Oxford street and have a mediocre hour."
