Tick Tock Unlock Leeds

The better room that we played from Ticktock unlock. Also the best room I've played so far with an initial separation element - it required some solid thinking to reunite. The puzzles from then on were slightly less memorable but it was still a good experience overall. The hosting was great too.

Genuinely the only retrospective room I'm adding to my list that I remember absolutely nothing about. If it wasn't for the photo we took I would have completely forgot I came to TickTock for a second time. It could have been better than 2.5 stars but for the fact I don't even remember if it was good/bad means it was the most forgettable I've played.

This was a very different style of escape game to what I've played before. Instead of escaping within the hour, your aim is to collect as many magical keys as you can that have been lost in the magical story books. You have bronze, silver and gold keys to collect going from easy to hard. Having to sacrifice a key to get a clue is also a very clever way to encourage you to really try to work out everything yourself! 

The other very clever thing about this game is that each magic book that we went into we only had 20 minutes to find all the keys. We went into three different books (rooms) each with a completely unique design and theme and set so it meant we were constantly seeing new things. The other exciting thing for the future as well is they plan to open up more books and then you can choose which 3 you do.

I should also mention our host Teddy who was a brilliant character from the very moment we started. He was very funny and also was happy to talk escape rooms with us at the end.

This was a brilliant and very unique style of escape room. I could see why for some people they may not like it as much as more traditional escape rooms but for me this was such a fun experience

Testing new concept via kickstarter

Took 4 escape room newbies here, two were kids so extra challenge here for me to keep everyone focussed! They were quite nervous about jump scares of being claustrophobic. The room was pretty cool, all felt very topsy turvy in keeping with the theme. There were some unusual puzzles here that I haven’t seen elsewhere. We struggled at the end to finish the last puzzle but the games master told us we only had one little bit wrong and gave us an extra minute to figure it out and escape 🙂

My very first game! Started me off and got me hooked!!
