EO Escape Rooms: Castaway

This was the first of EO’s rooms we played and it was brilliant. The concept and how it’s implemented is really clever - no spoilers but I’ve still never seen another room quite like it, and there’s a lot of seamless tech that fits the theme too. I played with someone who’d never done a room before and took the lead, but we still got out with a little time to spare. As with all Kelly’s rooms, inexperienced players might benefit from having a team of three or more, but the puzzles all flow and make logical sense. Recommended.

A really FUN room! Lots of great props, and a really original use of the space (IYKYK). Plenty of puzzles to keep us busy, the game flowed beautifully, and the enthusiasm of the owners is infectious. 

Fun, physicality and a lovely bunch of quirky puzzles await you on this castaway island and the EO team evidently enjoy thinking of inventive ways to create new experiences within their escape rooms. The flow of puzzles was top-notch and there were plenty of original elements that kept us on our toes. Our GM, Lily, was a delight and ran the game with just the right balance of being available for clues but not nudging when not needed. A great room in a venue that's full of great rooms.

Took a drive out to Sudbury to try 3 of these highly rated rooms and this one certainly did not disappoint. The 3 ladies hosting were all lovely and clearly loved their work. The theming of this room is spectacular and the puzzles were varied and fun. Really enjoyed this one.

This was our first EO room, and the whole no shoes thing was intriguing but made total sense when we got in there. Some unique and interesting puzzles, but of all the EO rooms we have done, this is the one that we felt the most disconnected from, some of the puzzles were simpler than we realised and we over thought and wasted a bit of time. We had a great time but there was some frustration which was entirely our own fault - learned a lesson not to over think stuff.
