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)

Do Stuff Escape Games: Hostage Hideout

London, Dec 2016

Hostage Hideout is hosted in a room in a pub, which is a sensible arrangement for an escape room since it neatly provides a waiting area that’s more spacious and better served than most rooms can manage.

This is a game created and run by enthusiasts… (more)

Time Run: Celestial Chain

London, Nov 2016

Celestial Chain has spectacular production values. Let’s be quite clear about that: the effects, stage craft and technology on display here are in a completely different league to most rooms, even more so than Time Run’s original room. Despite that, … (more)

Time Run: Lance of Longinus

London, Jul 2015

Time Run’s debut room raised the bar for escape games everywhere – it’s a cinematic experience way beyond any normal escape room.

Even the entrance door is special, a beautifully fashioned custom creation. You may get to admire it for a while, since… (more)

AIEscape: Leo’s Path

London, Nov 2016

This is a rather unusual, distinctive room. Firstly, it’s deliberately and explicitly linear, with one puzzle leading to the next until you reach the end. Secondly, there’s pretty much no searching involved. It’s also a pretty and at times quite poet… (more)

Enigma Quests: Million Pound Heist

London, Nov 2016

In an unusual twist, this room isn’t about escaping as quickly as possible – instead, you’re aiming to escape with as much cash as possible, and the better you do the more you’ll get out with.

There’s maybe an over-reliance on the ‚laminated sheet o… (more)

ClueTrace: Mindcrime

London, Oct 2016

A nicely designed room with a good variety of solid puzzles, including plenty of creative ideas. Strangely I didn’t find it all that memorable, maybe because we went through it rather quickly – but definitely a high quality room that I’d recommend to… (more)

Escape in Time: Secret Studio

London, Oct 2016

This room was a cut above the rest from the moment we arrived. Set up and run by enthusiasts from an actual film studio, the props and theming were outstanding and the room has a couple of moments in particular that really stand out.

One puzzle was … (more)
