Be careful what you wish for
An Englishman's home is his castle. Or his curio if he's a treasure hunter who's spent a lifetime collecting trinkets from all four corners of the globe. Alexander Curio was a true eccentric. A legendary explorer who left no stone unturned in his search for gems and gimcracks. To him, life was a gamble, with fate to be decided on a whim or a flip of a coin. A mysterious loner who loved to raise the stakes until they could be raised no higher.
Alexander's life was one big puzzle. Only a select few ever got beyond his front door. You're about to join their exclusive ranks. At first glance, Curio looks like the home of an explorer whose passion for chasing treasures has taken him from the Thames to Timbuktu. But the clue lies in the name. Secrets lie within her seemingly innocent walls and trinkets hold the key to untold riches. Fortune favours the brave but riches come at a price.
Who is the man behind the enigma? Was his death the result of some cruel, cosmic irony? And does he really want to share the treasures hidden away within the labyrinth he calls home?
This is no ordinary home. Alexander is anything but an ordinary man. Now he's inviting you into his world. But once you enter, there's no going back

What a cool idea! Unfortunately for me I get a bit motion sick. The set was great and most of the puzzles were good. Just a few niggles where things didn't quite line up.

Some of the puzzles felt slightly convoluted, but this was more than made up for by the incredbly unique set. I went in not knowing and it was an amazing surprise.

This a very unique room! I have never experienced a room quite like it. The puzzles were interesting and varied. One player is 6ft2 and his head almost touched the ceiling but it wasn’t an issue for game play and no accidental head bashing! The way hints are given is great as they are truly hints and not just someone giving the answer! Great hosting at both games we played here. We got out fairly quickly so either the puzzles were straightforward or we just had sharp minds that day.

We had avoided Escapologic after a poor experience there previously but were lured back by the desire to see if Curio lived up to the hype. It really does!

Such a good room that even knowing it's USP doesn't detract from the experience at all. Beautifully themed with a great range of hands-on puzzles that Mr EEA really loved. Great clue system that really fitted in well with the room.

As others have stated it's not built for really tall people and if you have motion sickness maybe avoid it.

Big thanks to the GM (Laiken) who was utterly brilliant at helping us out when needed and restoring our faith in the venue! This is a must play for enthusiasts.

One of the challenges of writing reviews of escape rooms is giving a clear impression of the experience while avoiding spoilers. There are some rooms where this is particularly difficult because that means I can't talk about a core element of the room, the most memorable and unique thing about it. Curio is one such game.

What I can say about it is that it's a high quality, original and satisfying game from start to finish. There's a particular style of decor you often see in escape rooms...

This room delivers something that you probably won't have seen anywhere else. No spoilers - a fun room with some very impressive room design and definitely one you won't forget
The single most impressive moment I've ever experienced in an escape room combined with obvious progress, good puzzles, a beautiful set and, that most intangible of things, "flow", made this one of my all time favourite escape rooms. "

  • A very quaint living room in a 1920s mansion is your first port of call. Vintage furniture, artwork and decorations are perfectly chosen to make this room seem of a bygone era.
  • This room has the most amazingly clever mechanisms and twists and turns. Literally!
  • The puzzles in here are physical manipulations, information hunting and communication. Very good communication is required between team members which adds to the feeling of co-operation.
  • There is a nice flow to the room and you can see what progress you have made via very obvious means.
  • Puzzles include some clever use of objects that I hadn’t come across before in a room. Think outside of the box!
    • 6.9 / 10
    We head to an eccentric treasure hunters house in Nottingham which is hiding quite a few secrets. Can we escape with the riches?

    Curio has a gimmick. And at some point that gimmick was probably an amazing and exciting surprise. But as with most escape rooms, as more and more customers come through the doors, the game briefing gets longer and longer to cover all the stupid stuff customers sometimes do. I won’t give away the gimmick directly, but will tell you what was said before we even started the game: we were asked if anyone had severe motion sickness or vertigo, told that if we wanted to get out of the game it could take a little bit longer than in normal games, and there was a special door that we could only go through when a green light was on, under no circumstances try and open the door when the red light was on, and the door might go to different places at different times.

    We hoped how special Curio would be and upon reflection, we wish had done another game first, to make this our 50th. However, it needed up being number 49 and what an experience it was. The hype of this room is most certainly warranted and it has left a lasting impression on all of us in being in our top 5 of rooms completed. If are visiting Nottingham to tackle one of the tens and tens of rooms on offer, you MUST include this in your bucket list.

    A very special room – it has a completely unique element, lots of puzzles and so much variety. This is my favourite room I’ve played and it will take something very special to beat it.
    This is such a unique room and going into it now little about it just makes it all the more special. Escapologic have created a fully immersive experience that is full of twists and turns. It is their hardest game to date so expect to spend some time having to really think about what comes next but it’s worth it for the pay off of what you get to experience. To really stand a chance of completing the room, you really need a minimum of three people.

    Stop what you are doing right now, go to Nottingham, and play this room. Play it before you get spoilered about the special twist. Play it before you play any other escape rooms. And most importantly, play it before drinking – not afterwards!
