Oh such fun! We had already had lots of fun in the first roomed area and then when you are let outside oh my what a blast! Some seriously creative physical challenges mixed with cerebral elements too, and it was a perfect day weather wise for us to run about and enjoy ourselves. Two puzzles we got caught up with the wrong idea, but were able to step away, do something else and then when we came back we instantly connected with and solved them. Nothing was illogical, and there were two parts to the game which we didn't want to stop doing!!! Superb experience and just an all round lovely venue.

Really fun immersive and decorative room with lots of tech and some previously unseen techniques in all my 180+ rooms! Lovely mix of puzzles, satisfying ending and only a couple of nudges needed which turned out to be oversights on our part and nothing wrong with the room. Easily doable as a 2, not much space though for bigger teams. 

Wow. This is an epic murder mystery and has felt the most likely we were actually cracking a case. Loved how the 3 parts played out and how they interconnected. Brilliant online element too and whilst light on puzzles, the deduction side was good challenging fun. Good quality artefacts and a satisfying ending. Loved it!

We loved this one! All the puzzles made sense and there were no leaps of logic or ambiguous information. Really enjoyed the mode of transport featured in the game and acting out the situations and events. Great fun!

We got the wrong murderer in this one, but the world of the magic and theatre appealed to my interests!

Interesting game with a brilliant thread of greek mythology winding through it, but I found the interface just a bit too frustrating and the puzzles, whilst there was a nice mix and some unusual ones, either hard to understand or not clear.

We had to get to this one before it closed which we just managed! So glad we did and wow what a ride! So many padlocks in there I'll be dreaming about them tonight! Amazing mix of puzzles, a full hour of on the go communicating, running about, solving and unlocking with some amazing twists and fun moments we've come to expect of EO.  Wonderful hosting by Lily and a lovely way to extend Christmas by hearing all those songs just one last time. In February 😂.

Ok. Feels very much like you're solving a real cold case with a tonne of reading to do and nothing very exciting to explore or websites to peruse, it's very much a case file of people and places with some of it not being particularly relevant. We managed to choose the correct murderer and motive but it wasn't very exciting to play or solve. Rather like hard work!

Wow this was crazy! Talk about value for money. You get the full hour to score as many points as you can by opening giftboxes and trying to discover which name to tag them with by finding things in the room or solving puzzles. 3 levels of difficulty for the boxes and so much in the room to make use of. Our brains really felt maxed out! It was great to solve puzzles separately but then if yours stuck pass them off for others to try, and the coming together at the end to work on the tougher ones. Fabulous!

Oh what a beautiful room! We thoroughly enjoyed this. Brilliant puzzles, some lovely new concepts and some incredibly fun things to do. Beautiful quality props and fun decorations, we had a superb time in this room. Cannot wait to see more from them at the venue! Merry Christmas!

Very much aimed at a family with younger children or puzzlers who just want a nice easy sub 1 hour game that's not too taxing. Played on a very wet Saturday afternoon and it all worked great. Nice range of puzzles, easy to interact with website and a nice story behind it. Download a certificate and a debrief doc with fun facts afterwards, taught us a few things about Egyptian history!

We playtested this game and gave feedback to the developers. Fun immersive environment with multiplayer mode. Some of the puzzles needed tweaking and we solved a few by trial and error or guessing rather than figuring them out, and the ending needed improving, but they took on our feedback and it will be a great game once out!

We playtested this for the creators and found it to be fun and very cute! A lovely environment and a good kid of fun puzzles. While there were some slow loading, and the graphics are not the highest quality, it was a solid game with some funny touches and a clever multiplayer interface although with these it's very easy to miss what's going on at times.

A nice little 4 puzzles in envelopes game typical of this company. The puzzles were quite good! 2 very quick and easy, 1 logic puzzle that took a little longer and one easish but nice observation puzzle. Interesting theme and a nice simple quick play for times when you want something for a couple of people to puzzle over.

Just go play this. Leave escape room preconceptions at the door, be prepared to embrace the story and throw yourself into the role you've been given and enjoy it. Ronan and Oryn who hosted us were superb and they just love to see people enjoying it too. Fantastic company, fantastic game, we need more of this!

A brilliant game. Great theming, very clever use of everything on here room and some unique quirky puzzles, reveals, and combinations as you progress. Brilliant hosting by Oliver too. Excited to hear they have more in the pipeline so we can come back next time we're up that way!

Wow. I am always particularly impressed when a new venue opened by independent amateur teams knocks their first game out of the park, and boy have they here. A dramatic beginning to the game, an immersive, perfectly themed world and some impressive hunt and puzzle moments with some new ideas thrown in, I regularly forgot I had a job to do while I was in there, I was just marvelling at so many things :) plenty to keep the  four of us busy for over an hour. The team are very passionate and will make sure you get the most from this adventure.

This was a really great game in the range, the best we've played yet out of the 4 we have. Love the mechanic, the way the game unfolds and the extra dimension to this one. The puzzles are slightly more challenging in this one whilst still being easy for families and there's a great range of them. We really enjoy the immersiveness of this, and doing the voices as you work through the story to figure out the mystery. Fab!

We playtested this room and supplied feedback for the owners before opening. Once ready this is going to be a fantastic little room. Small but very well formed, we played as a 3 which felt right size wise. Beautifully designed and cleverly themed with this venue's signature touch of humour, they have also packed a good amount and variety of puzzles into the space along with some very neat touches and new ideas which made for a lot of fun. Kept us busy, thinking, and entertained the whole time, and will be great for all ages and levels as can either be adapted for children, or extra challenge additional to the main game for the experts. Fab!

A really good fourth game from the Mystery Agency team. Super high quality components, a lovely mix of puzzles and tie in with a website, although would love to have had more web browsing and hunting to do. Got hung up on one puzzle but that was our fault for missing an important piece of info! Interesting immersive story and some brilliant nods to their other games and the characters lurking within. Loved it.
