Game Masters

Pros:

• "We would also like to thank our games master Dardan as we wouldn't have solved it without his nudges in the right direction."

• "Our Games Master Georgia was friendly and very accommodating for those in our group who had not done an escape room before."
• "Ellie was an amazing games master!"
• "Georgia, she was brilliant throughout the game and helped perfectly, but didn’t give too much away."
• "Molly the games master knew when we really needed a clue so her timing was impeccable and the clues were really well delivered."

Cons:

Escape Room Experience

Pros:

• "Great, authentic looking rooms (think Crystal Maze) and interesting and fun puzzles."
• "Loved the theme/story of the magpie mystery room."
• "The room we went in (room 13) set a scene very well and had lots of fun riddles and puzzles to complete."
• "The puzzles were satisfyingly difficult without being frustrating and there was plenty to do so that our group of 4 were all busy working together throughout the hour."
• "The room is brilliantly set up and very atmospheric too."
• "The puzzles and riddles were also really well thought out and immersive."
• "The first room we done was the Magpie Mystery which had brilliant, well designed puzzles and an atmosphere that fit the theme of the room perfectly."

Cons:

• "There could have been a little more physical illumination in one part of the game but apart from that it was great."
• "The second room my group done was Room 13 which we struggled with. We understood the main concepts of most of the puzzles but struggled to actually solve them."

Value & Entertainment

Pros:

• "A really enjoyable experience and very good value for money for an entertaining and different evening."
• "This was such a great Escape Room. This was my 7th one and definitely one of my favourites."
• "Worked out at a really good price each and had a great time!"
• "All for a very sensible price that made it an amazing day out that we will remember for a long time!"
• "Passionate and professional staff, complete with well thought out rooms and challenging tasks, make these Escape rooms a great way to spend a free hour with friends or family."
• "Seriously quality escape rooms - great value for money!"
• "Would 100% recommend this place. Can’t fault it at all was great fun and a great concept :)"

Cons:

• "It was a good experience and my 17 year old son and his friends enjoyed it, but I think its wrong that you make it a rule that an 18 year old that has to be present with the under 18s, has to pay as well."
