To do a room that is so lovingly incorporated into the real history of the building is something really special and every effort has been made to ensure details are historically accurate. Matt, our GM, clearly loves history and was keen to tell us all about the role of Canterbury during WW2.

The puzzles are lovely but it is all very much woven into the story that is being told here. Think of this as more of an experience - and an immersive, intense one at that - rather than a traditional escape room.

A strong story element to this room set in a real comms room from WW2.  I found it a tad frustrating as a team of 2 as it's a fairly linear room but everything is all in one place and it wasn't always obvious which bit you needed to look at next.  This meant a fair amount of time rehunting round the room seeing which bits were ready to be used.  But the puzzles were solid and it was really cool to see authentic props.

A beautifully engineered game, that provides theatre in abundance and solid puzzling throughout. As a bonus, it managed to teach us some history, maybe even giving us a taste of what the period was like, while still feeling like a normal game.

We can’t say enough how much we loved this room. We never felt like we were playing a game, it actually felt as though we were saving War-era Canterbury, and the epic conclusion here is one not to be missed!

It took us a bit of time to decide which room we wanted to experience first, but logistics seemed to sort that out for us, and we booked the Comms Room – ready to try our hand at defending Canterbury! The first thing we have to mention is the set. The room is set in a genuine WW2 comms room and you can feel the authenticity as soon as you step through the door. It takes place in one room, but this space is jam-packed with so many puzzles, you wouldn’t have time to go anywhere else.

The team’s role is to defend the city from incoming enemy attacks by deploying aircraft, sounding alarms and hunting out a potentially disruptive double agent, all while dealing with power cuts, rodents and the frankly aggressively needy demands of the local citizens.

I couldn't help but draw comparisons between this room and our own "Escape the Diefenbunker" back home. Both rooms are leveraging a historical landmark by letting you play directly inside it. However, I have to say Canterbury gets the upper hand.

A very well-planned room with a strong theme and extremely well-themed puzzles, The Comms Room worked well as a dual WW2 experience combined with an escape room, and we came away feeling like we’d learned something about the history of the building too!

Can you escape from this original World War 2 style escape room ?
