CTRL ALT ESC: Detention

Great game! Immersion for sure! Really felt like being back at school again with some really funky puzzles and a couple of ‘oh my god’ moments including the final dash for the escape! Definitely worth a trip if you haven’t been yet! 

What an absolute blast this was! A real nostalgia trip, this room is unique and quirky and packed with hilarious jokes and lovely puzzles.

The premise of breaking out of detention is a great idea for an escape room and it is executed really well.

Fun room with some funny nods to kids tv and culture, especially if you were a child of the 80's. Lots to do and great fun!

for those of us who grew up watching Grange Hill (google it), this was a lot of fun incorporating some clever injokes.  The hosting was excellent but be warned I think this is a hard room, also organise, you get a lot of information quite quickly so you need to sort items as you may need some in the future.

A unique theme with a great set and soundtrack. Puzzles were very fun and well integrated to the theme, but could perhaps benefit from better signposting. The clue systems are inventive and our host Mark gave nudges at the right points. A lot of fun, and well worth playing.

A different theme from the usual ones which makes a nice change.  Was good fun.

Ok, it was a box room, black chalk board, desks, projectors and many other props, but that was what was so great about it too. It really brought us back to as if we were in school. There was such a nostalgic feel to this room, that made it really fun to play. Usually I would want an escape game to really take me to another place as if I wasn't in a room, but this really fitted the theme. 

Puzzles were fun to find and solve. The GM was really great at hosting and really played the part.

Would recommend this room, but in particular, to anyone who went to school in the 80s/90s. 

Would love to try out their other games if we get a chance to come back!

This was a very fun room which took us back to a 1970s/80s school room.  There’s a lot of “stuff” in this room and we wasted time looking for things so keep organised.  Great attention to detail.

A brilliant nostalgic trip back to the classroom! My favourite room of theirs so far. The team are great and they pay attention to the details in their room builds.

The GM was great and straight in to character as a strict teacher with a few quick telling offs, this and the old style school room fully immerses you in to the theme and has a great nostalgic feel with elements like the projector. The clue system was also clever with a good theme tune. Lots of fun to be had and a good mix of puzzles which stick to the theme and fit different lesson types. 

Brilliant room, worth it. But. I hate to complain, being summer, the heat in the room is really bad, no aircon or air flow. By the end of the game we was all wet and uncomfortable. 

A good example of how a game can be fun without having fancy set dressing or technology with the old classroom setting that will look very familiar to anyone who went to school in the 1980s. Good use of the environment for the game and things for the most part feel like they should be there. Did find the GM was rather keen to overclue early on but did tone it down a bit on request.  

Fantastic Classic Room with a ton of things to do! You'll find yourself singing away to the Music.

A school might not seem like a very promising theme for an escape room, but the set was well done, and a massive nostalgia trip for anyone who grew up in the late 80s/early 90s. Great use of humour and lots of puzzle variety - there were padlocks yes but lots of other stuff too, and a fairly non-linear progression so even a large group would have plenty to do. Two of us were certainly kept busy for 70 out of a possible 90 minutes.

Unfortunately this room has now closed because of issues with the building lease, I hope they can recreate it elsewhere in future.

This room was superb. Everything in the room was amazing but the best part about the room was the clue system! You got 2 different ways to get clues (I won't spoil it). One of my favourite room I had ever done!

Really fun and unique concept. I like that there aren't any padlocks, it makes the tasks really different and fun.
