Absolutely Escapes Maidenhead: Professor Blackthorne’s Final Invention

Classic style escape room with lots of padlocks, keys etc but this is well written into the story line. Some fun tech and classic escape room tricks used. What's most interesting is the budget for the room was minimal yet it feels higher quality that some of the big brands, and the operator is a local charity! Worth a visit, and the creators are happy to chat to you afterwards about anything to do with the room

A traditional style escape room with a variety of puzzles and riddles involved. We completed the game as a team of 2 in 48 minutes and it was my 84th escape game over the years.  Our games master was super friendly and not only gave us a warm welcome but also chatted to us for a while after about the making of the game and other games he/we had played. It was interesting to hear that this room was built on a smaller budget (as the company is a charity) but it was still, in my view, a successful game with some great themeing. We did not run into any broken tech or puzzles (unlike another newly built game we played recently) so its clear that time and effort has gone into making sure it runs smoothly, providing a positive experienxce for players. We were only given a couple of hints throughout the game which we asked for when we became stuck. There was no in-game screen with a timer or for clues so clues were done via walkie-talkie and we were given a stop watch for keeping time; a nice little touch there which linked with the story brief at the start of the game. We would definitely recommend this game and look forward to returning when the new room opens too.
