Escapologic: Chronos

The hardest room on site, some very clever and physical puzzles but some things can be hard to read. Again some very original set pieces which we really enjoyed.

A steampunk time machine, a Victorian laboratory... this room’s theme is definitely my wheelhouse! A beautiful setting with lots of clever puzzles. Only criticism would be that, for larger groups, the space would be a bit snug - it was fine with 3 but with any more it’d be a squeeze.

Escapologic are unfailingly friendly and enthusiastic, making every visit - whether to Nottingham or Derby - a pleasure.

The design of the room has to be perfectly well done for a non-linear room to excite me, instead I quickly felt overwhelmed by the different possibilities the room had to offer. The design and decor of the room is fabulous as they kept old devices and antique items to design their rooms, unfortunately some of them might be a bit un-precise or even broken, which even though they looked great broke a bit the immersion. One puzzle in particular was the center piece of the room and required manual maneuver with the whole team being involved, quite an impressive piece! The final puzzle that was supposed to release the item we were looking for to complete the room was broken and resulted in us escaping the room without having really finished it. But where the team of Escapologic was fantastic is that they offered us a discount for a future room due to those technical issues, it was greatly appreciated as we had several technical issues in the past with other companies that were not as concerned about the customer satisfaction, so mega + for the Escapologist team. We are looking forward to try their other rooms!
