Cross Roads Escape Games: The Fun House

California, Jan 2017

2nd on my mini tour of Los Angeles area Escape Rooms was The Fun House at Cross Roads Escape Rooms. This room is based in the Anaheim area, not that far from Disneyland. Quite apt, given the Fun House pokes a sarcastic stick at the Circus/Magic/Fanta… (more)

Cross Roads Escape Games: The Hex Room

California, Jan 2017

Having just completed the venue’s original and superb Fun House room, and enjoying it immensely, we were offered a bit of a discount to run straight into the Hex room. The Hex room is pitched as a Horror/Thriller experience. There’s some basic theme … (more)

Agent November: Major X Ploe-Shun

London, Jan 2017

Agent November is unusual in that they run outdoor escape games (though some of their other games are run indoors). Naturally, we played on a cold, rainy afternoon in January, which must be close to the worst conditions to play it in; and despite tha… (more)

Operation Escape: The Ops Room

London, Jan 2017

Operation Escape is a 15 minute journey from Bromley South station by car/bus and is co-located in a business block, where you just follow the signs to reception. Operation Escape is WWII themed, you start by being plunged into darkness, but you soon… (more)

Indizio: Mirror Mirror On The Wall

Cologne, Nov 2016

Centrally located, just a stone throw from Cologne’s cathedral is Indizio-Koln. We were lucky enough to have the escape room thrown into our air bnb stay, as it was located in the apartment above.

The place itself has an Indiana Jones temple vibe, i… (more)

Lock’d: Perpetuum Mobile

London, Jan 2017

Perpetuum Mobile starts in a reasonably sparse room. The premise is laid out in a little speech: The key to stopping a perpetual motion machine that could destroy the planet lies hidden in the professor’s room. The website advertises it as „the most … (more)

Lock’d: Grandpa’s Last Will

London, Jan 2017

The theme here is straightforward. Your recently deceased grandfather has left you a fortune – but the old man clearly had a sadistic streak, since he’s hidden it behind a series of puzzles and given you an hour to find it before you’re arrested for … (more)

Mystery Cube

London, Dec 2016

Don’t be put off by the trek down to South Wimbledon. This labour of love of a room is well worth a visit! We were sworn to secrecy by Professor QB, so I won’t say anything about the theme of the room, which may or may not be a cube.

We visited as a… (more)

Escape Plan: The Adventure Begins

London, Nov 2016

I loved this room from the moment we arrived. Unusually, it is located on the first floor of a beautiful mews building rather than in a basement or warehouse. The host gave us a warm and enthusiastic welcome and sent us into the room, aka the barrack… (more)

Clue Adventures: The Book of Secrets

London, Dec 2016

This room won us over with almost the very first thing we did after entering. It has a profusion of refreshingly original, nicely-implemented puzzles that all build on the theme and the story.

According to the plot, you’re searching for the lost sec… (more)
