Excellent room. Host was great, puzzles had variation and challenged us. Would definitely recommend playing this room!

Idea was good but room very small and felt it lacked variation. Worth playing but not a memorable one for us. 

Some really good features and clever ideas. Really good fun, host maybe gave us direction too early as we finished this really quickly! 

Erghh. We desperately wanted this to be good but the hosting is just utterly awful. When the game master doesn’t care about the experience it really shows. The puzzles were not logical and hints are not hints, they just tell you the solution which is really disappointing. Sage to say we won’t be back to Grand Escapes 

Simply put - don’t play this. The hosting was shambolic. No welcome, no briefing, nothing.

Walked us to the room and said 1 hour to escape - no back story as to what we were looking for or actually supposed to be doing.

If this was our first ever escape room we would probably never do one again.

The games master was manually unlocking puzzles as we clearly had not completed certain parts correctly but all of a sudden a door would open.

We did escape - although we didn’t know it! After the finish there was no talking or enthusiasm from the host and no offer of a the obligatory team photo. 

So much potential but a clear lack of passion from the company.

Really cool room, clever puzzles and great host. Another really different experience. Very pleased to have stumbled across this one!

Just not for us. Didn’t seem to flow and difficult to hear what was being said. Lots of people will certainly love this game but unfortunately just didn’t hold our attention. Also felt like the host wasn’t there a lot of the time and we were trying to get clues but no response or guidance 

Such a clever room. Flowed well, good hosting and very different from many other escape rooms. Definitely a ‘must play’ for escape enthusiasts.

Really clever game, great hosting and would thoroughly recommend all the games here. Great fun.

Played with our children and asked for easier version. Host decided to switch us without checking to more difficult version and we failed to get out. Host seemed to want us to fail which is a shame as this company have numerous other games and they were all a great experience. Room was okay but nothing exceptional. 

Game was okay but VR just not the same as an actual escape room.

Didn’t flow well at all. The room was open at top and the other escape room at location had a game going at the same time. We could hear the host of the other game giving clues and the people playing. Very distracting. Elements were not working in room and no prompt to let you know you had completed a puzzle so you were left unsure if you had done something correct. Very disappointing and expensive for what you get.

Amazing little gem !  Quirky room with a wide range of puzzles.  Games host was absolutely lovely.  Has our support for future games!

Brilliant escape room that held our attention throughout!  Cannot recommend Escape Reading enough 

Brilliant, just brilliant. So clever and a must play.

Absolutely amazing. What a great room, cannot recommend highly enough.

So clever and immersive. Great scare moments too
