Escape Room Experience
Pros:
"Really great mix of puzzles that everyone could get involved in."
"The rooms were well lit (good for a girl who was partially sighted) and they definitely had enough to do."
"The staff are friendly, welcoming, and obviously enjoy their work."
"It was an amazing experience, the puzzles in the escape rooms have been very well thought of and were interesting throughout."
"Went with my 2 kids (age 7 and 10) and had a fantastic time."
"It was an engaging escape room with a quirky and cohesive storyline. Puzzles were varied and fun."
"Would 100% recommend and we will definitely go back to try the other rooms!"
Cons:
"Originally worried it would be complicated for them, given their age."
"We originally visited Cluequest probably 5 years ago and were a bit underwhelmed by their old Area 52 room."
"The reason for the 4 stars is that it is expensive (30 pounds per person on the weekend)."
"Personally, it’s not been 5 stars or amongst my favourite escape rooms because I feel like it could’ve been themed more with the room and the props."
"This can be particularly bad if you are more than 4 people in the group, and end up paying 120-180 for one hour."
"Most of the clues and codes were totally random, with no logic connecting anything."
"Overall it was fun - but these marred the experience and left a bad taste when we were done."
Staff and Service
Pros:
"Senna was a lovely host, who ensured everyone was hyped up to take part."
"Had great help from Eli who gave us awesome hints that didn't give away the entire puzzle."
"Staff super friendly and welcoming."
"Also Mel was very kind and helpful with her instructions - loved how she retained her professional “agent” role throughout!"
"Our host was Rowen who made our quest exciting. She was kind and witty."
"The staff were really helpful and friendly - especially Greta who was our ‘agent handler’ at ‘mission control’."
"Our game master Miguel was especially terrific - was super friendly, engaging and great with the kids."
Cons:
"We ran into some problems with a puzzle missing an element that needed GM intervention."
"There were a few set pieces which weren’t operating correctly, so we had to ignore a section until it was the right time to explore."
"Here comes the only downside of the day - we were almost forced to pose for the photos with clueQuest logos and art."
"However, something our groups noticed was they seem to keep leaving the back door unlocked by accident which does kill the atmosphere."
"Not very nice to be requested to leave our friends for your advertising, albeit for just a few minutes."
"I went today with my 2 friends... this girl who worked there with pink hair was a little rude."
"No need to get negative feedback at the end :( it was my birthday and after feeling elated for working out the game, we didn’t need the downer energy!"
Value and Pricing
Pros:
"Guaranteed fun - it's my current favourite place and thing to do."
"It’s not the cheapest activity, but well worth it."
"The production quality is very high - they really put a lot of engineering effort into the puzzles."
"Great value for money for an enjoyable evening doing something different."
"Definitely would recommend going if you want to have a great time with a group of people, and definitely worth all the money we spent on it."
"Highly recommended!"
"An amazing place!"
Cons:
"It was good fun, but I think, whilst I'm not an expert on escape rooms, it is a bit expensive considering how small the rooms are."
"I think for this price I would expect a bit more."
"The ClueQuest looked esthetically good, I saw it online while I was around the area, thought to check it out as well engage myself with some games, unfortunately I couldn’t play any game as the price was slightly on the high side for me."
"The staff was polite, I would love to come back when I can afford it and with friends willing to spend such amount on games."
"Only drawback is the last part (the game), which could be a little more responsive to input."
"The room was really compact with a high density of puzzles; a group of more than 4 players may feel a bit tight."
"There is nothing special even though I booked this as a team building event."
