Project Mayhem: FEAR

Lincoln, Jul 2024

Rated between 4 and 4.5 out of 5
FEAR has a reputation, having won the players’ choice vote for scariest escape room in the UK. You could characterise Project Mayhem’s three games as ‘fun and fear’ (Jangles), ‘puzzles and fear’ (Mary), and ‘fear and fear’ (FEAR). Which isn’t to over… (more)

Project Mayhem: The Rituals of Mary

Lincoln, Jul 2024

Rated 4 out of 5
Our second game at Project Mayhem was accurately described as their most traditional escape room experience, in the sense of having the most puzzles. Even so, it’s definitely more a horror experience than a puzzle room.

Project Mayhem: Jangles‘ Carnival

Lincoln, Jul 2024

Rated between 4 and 4.5 out of 5

EO Escape Rooms: The Great Eggscape

Sudbury, Jul 2024

Rated 4.5 out of 5
There are far fewer Easter games than there are Christmas ones, and even fewer that are available year-round. EO’s Eggscape is emphatically not a quick pop-up intended to take advantage of the season – it comfortably stands alongside the other rooms … (more)

EO Escape Rooms: Scarlet

Sudbury, Jul 2024

Rated 4.5 out of 5
I was impressed by how consistent the quality was at EO, across different styles of game. Each of the six we played had its own charms and highlights, and I can imagine each of them being the favourite for different teams. Scarlet wasn’t my favourite… (more)
