Surprised by this game as I'd not heard much. Liked how it integrated local history into the puzzles and was very original. The puzzles are very good throughout and there's plenty to be getting on with - weren't so sure one of the final puzzles though, which felt a bit timewasting. You can tell it was an older room but overall it still delivers high quality gameplay that is unique and puzzle focussed.

Such a neat concept makes this a great room for enthusiasts while also appealing to family / novice groups. Kept us engaged throughout and despite being quite linear, we all had good time and would tackle bonus puzzles while the others attacked the primary puzzle. Set is good and puzzles are a lot of fun to solve - only a well hidden bit of searching kept us from the maximum score. Really enjoyable game, highly recommended

Not as good as their newest game but easy to see why it has a great reputation. This is a neat prohibition themed room with a cool set and solid puzzles throughout. A couple of observation / searching ones caught us out and could've done with more signposting but others were satisfying to solve and the room is excellent overall. 

A fantastic game with a great theme and set, plus loads of brilliant puzzles too. This is crammed full of sci-fi references to keep you entertained if you ever pause to admire the scenary. Puzzles are enjoyable, challenging and logical - signposting in particular was excellent. A memorable finale rounds out the experience. Brilliant overall, and we had an awesome time

Pleasantly surprised by this game, as it delivers a very solid experience with a lovely set and elegant puzzles throughout. The hosting elevates it to another level - Fogg was brilliant and we can't see anyone else playing the role as well. Really liked the unique start to the game and just had a great time. Can't recommend this venue enough! 

What a game! This is a puzzlefest style room with fantastic puzzles throughout, funny references and a great set. Our host Jamie was brilliant and I just had a brilliant time. The ending was tense and exciting, just wish we had some more time to crack on with the earlier stage of the game. This is similar to Quick E-Mart although I found this a better game, mainly down to its production level and great puzzles. All round fantastic, and not to be missed! 

A funny and original game with some solid puzzles and a cool set. Wish there was a soundtrack as you could hear a lot from the corridor outside which took me out of it a bit. In all a light hearted and enjoyable room

A great adventure game with a fun use of different levels and many new areas to discover. Theming was great and the puzzles were a lot of fun - the idea of having no written english in the game forced some cool ways of signposting puzzles. I wish there was a bit more to the ending, but generally had a lot of fun climbing around in here and think it's the best at the venue

Booked on the day and actually preferred it to pub and chip shop. Just found the puzzles worked better for us (except opening the front door) and we had a better flow. The set won't blow you away but is good and I liked the character in the room. Only real issue was that we skipped the ending by finding something too soon, feels like something that could be easily fixed and would probably have elevated the experience for us. Worth playing though if doing the other games here

A unique concept and lots of fun to play. Bit searchy for us at points but our host Ethan was good fun and kept us on track. Preferred the first half - 2nd half felt a bit cramped and wasn't so sure on the story. Puzzles throughout were enjoyable and logical and I'd recommend playing, just not for a large team 

About what I expected although less scares than anticipated. Meh puzzles that didn't really involve the whole team and we then needed to wait afterwards for the other groups to finish. Decisions / actions throughout made no difference to the narrative and somewhat killed the immersion - it was otherwise quite an impressive set. Acting was good but not very much of it. We got a decent groupon discount cutting the price down, but at full price this is way overpriced for what you get. An enjoyable enough experience for fans of immersive horror and the Saw francise, not one for people who enjoy puzzles

A brilliant game with great immersion and really fun puzzles. The start of the game was particularly good and the ending was suitable intense. Fantastic hosting as always from Clue Cracker, highly recommended

Well themed and fun room with a good sense of progression throughout. Puzzles were fun, nice mixture of padlocks and physical puzzles. Good hosting, and well worth playing along with the others at clue cracker

Truly a brilliant escape room, and so much fun to play. All the puzzles are just amazingly well executed and really enjoyable to solve. The build is fantastic and the interaction with the GM makes for a very immersive experience. Some cool mechanics throughout keep things interesting and an intense finale end the game in style. Unmissable!

A really unique and inventive outing from Clue Cracker, this had a brilliant set and was incredibly immersive. Puzzles were (for the most part) fun and inventive, I think a couple needed a bit more signposting and I expect this is something they'll adjust as the game is open for longer. Principally, they absolutely nail the theme and the build quality is outstanding. Well worth playing!

Houdini's have been on my radar for a while and this game is supposed to be one of their best. Unfortunately, while it may have been great 5 years ago it really isn't today. The set felt very tired and poorly maintained: clearly puzzles had been removed but props were still left, some clues had numbers written in marker pen and various bits of set dressing were damaged and broken. The puzzles were not well signposted and a lot were just bland or timewasting. The floorplan is quite large, but the spaces still managed to feel tiny and boring. Our GM said this was a fully linear game which was blatantly not true and there was none of the briefing I'd heard about using their cinema screen. There was no soundtrack either, the captain would occasionally give updates on the situation but no foghorn or ship's bell to indicate if we were doing something correctly or not despite being told this in the brief. 

Just rather disappointed given I'd heard a lot about it - doubt I'll try any of their other games if this is the standard. 

An enjoyable room with a lot of fun to be had. Enjoyed the character briefing and puzzles. The space had been used quite well to create a sense of adventure in a small area and the game had a great flow to it. Definitely play this before it goes!

Our favourite of the TimeTrap games, this had a very playful theme executed wonderfully. Puzzles were interesting and varied, game flow felt spot on for 4 people and the set design was excellent. Not to be missed!

Immersion is fantastic in Pudding Lane and clearly a lot of care has gone into the story and set design. The puzzles were unique and logical, we just thought that 4 people felt like too many in here at points. GM Tegan was brilliant, and this is overall an amazing game

A unique and inventive game with brilliant theming and set. Enjoyed the adventurous aspect too and the puzzles made sense with the story. However, we thought puzzles could do with better signposting and there was a lot of reading involved. One puzzle was particularly infuriating and fiddly to solve. The GM overclued a lot and would sometimes direct us away from a puzzle we were currently solving. Had a cool exit from the game but there was no one to meet us when we did so felt a bit meh. This could be an amazing game, just didn't hit the mark for us this time

Didn't have the best experience here due mainly to the GM, who overclued us loads throughout the game basically as soon as we found a puzzle to the point we weren't really solving much ourselves. The set was excellent however, particularly in the 2nd half. Hopefully our experience was an anomaly and we still enjoyed playing

What a wondeful game! The set throughout was fantastic but was particularly great in the 2nd half of the game. Enjoyed all of the puzzles which were logical and really fun to solve, plus had some cool bits of tech involved. I particularly liked all the references throughout; clearly this was designed by a passionate Harry Potter fan! 

Really enjoyed this game and particularly the hosting from Fran was fantastic! Puzzles are fun and well integrated into the story, plus the final room is just puzzles galore. Really enjoyed the deductive aspect as well. An excellent game all round

Great sense of adventure throughout this game. Set is pretty good and the puzzles all worked but some were quite basic and we definitely overcomplicated them. Definitely a great game to play with kids but good fun for adults as well and we enjoyed it a lot. Owner is really friendly and passionate 

Not as good as their other games but still good fun. Found it to be quite searchy like Little Miss Lock, but liked how it all came together in the end and the puzzles all linked to the story. Our GM was good at giving subtle hints instead of revealing the answers. Prioritise the other games at this venue first, but this is worth playing if you have the time available

A wonderfully unique game that was fantastically hosted by Charlie. Found the theming excellent and authentic, and the handcuff mechanic was well executed to feel safe while simultaneously immersive. Puzzles required strong teamwork and were logical, although we'd have enjoyed a "hard" version of the game with even more to do. If you're after a less standard but very fun game, look no further than the Brig. The owners/GMs of Live Escape Salisbury are super friendly and I can't wait to see what the design next

Can tell this is an old game but a lot of the ideas in here were quite advanced for when this was built. Enjoyed a lot of the puzzles, but others felt a bit odd and required a fair bit of searching. Theming was simultaneously good yet plain. The story and ideas behind the game were good and the finale puzzle was cool, but other bits felt quite tired. The GM/owner Claire was lovely however and provided the perfect amount of help. We had fun in here, and would love to see the ideas in it modernised or refreshed

A strong set with authentic props made this feel immersive but puzzles felt a bit dated. Found the franksy puzzles very logical where as we needed a few more nudges in here despite this being an easier room apparently. Liked the theme and ideas though

Loved the entrance area and lobby - the artifacts are insanely good. The game had a fantastic build quality but we found the puzzles a bit lacking and the story difficult to follow. Immersion was great and the potential of this venue is huge. Our GM was excellent. 

Based on conecpt alone this should be an excellent game, but I feel its execution left a lot to be desired. Set and theming was well done and puzzles required a strong element of teamwork, but something about the puzzles felt odd. There was nothing massively wrong with any of the puzzles, but we just didn't get on with them too well. This was especially true in the latter part of the game, where the flow became very linear and the solutions weren't particularly clear - meant a lot of twiddling padlock dials until it would open as the code wasn't very clear. 

This certainly isn't a bad game and you'll have fun in here, plus is very affordable too. The ideas just need some streamlining as it felt a bit all over the place. The owner Liam was lovely and cleary has put a lot of effort into the room - Mutiny just didn't work for us I think.

Managed to meet the high expectations from Roll out the Barrel and cements Escape Plan as the best venue in London for me. Puzzles are inventive and lots of fun to solve, plus the meta-puzzle of pushing squadrons around on a giant map is fantastic and well realised. Staff are really great as always - we had Sam who was well up for a chat after. This game is brilliant!

First big franchise escape room and kinda what I expected. The hosts were friendly and chatty. The room itself was mediocre - set was plain and quite worn but did the job, puzzles ranged from illogical to okay and there was lots of trying the same code in many locks. Clues were typed on a screen and the story was meh. Our novice friends quite enjoyed it however, and we did all have fun. Don't expect much and you'll probably enjoy it too, just you won't be blown away. 

Lots of fun with good and inventive puzzles. Set felt a bit naff but was nicely themed to feel christmassy. Worth playing if it's brought back next year 

Had some cool puzzles and was a fun time. QR system worked well, and liked that there weren't too many pieces of paper or fiddly puzzles

Such an elegant game with an outstanding build quality on the set - probably the best attention to detail I've seen yet. Everything down to the intro video was beautiful and a theatric use of light and sound made for an immersive experience. Puzzles worked well with the story and were really unique - there's no padlocks to be found here. Would have liked some better signposting at times, but the use of lights to show what you should focus on was a nice touch. The owner said this took 3 years to build and you can see why, this game is just wonderful
