Paranormal Puzzlers

Disappointing as it appears there has been an attempt made to inflate the review scores on Escape the Review - room is rough around the edges but, nevertheless, does have some fun moments and puzzles.

Played this room for the big ‘100’ - Gavin has done a fantastic job to maximise the space he has in this former corner shop. Great theming and some real surprises that we had not seen before. If you love dinosaurs (and a certain dinosaur related franchise), this is an absolute MUST for your list.

Jenny has done a great job with this place - all the fun of the circus and more! This room focuses more on physicality rather than logic so less padlocks and brain-wracking puzzles than the typical experience. Looking forward to seeing what more there is in store for Clue Collectors!

Absolutely incredible from start to finish - real love and craft has been put into this one. Puzzles aplenty so bring a big team and if you beat the record, you might just get a little surprise… Don’t miss this room!

Evident that a lot of money has been spent on the room but can’t help but feel the mark has been missed slightly. Fun decor and theming but puzzles lacking a bit in complexity. Unfortunately, a pretty integral part of the game was broken which is a shame for a new room but appreciate this was out of the control of the GM but did affect our experience.

Very practical room with lots of hands-on elements. Clever clue delivery and starting sequence of the game. Slightly hard to know where to get started, a few puzzles are a tad illogical but not unfathomable. Not a scary room despite some apprehension beforehand (no live actors, no jumpscares) - would recommend!

Thematically great room with a few nice moments and great hosting. I think there was so much more potential to lean into the magical theming. Puzzles on the simpler side but a few creative ones in there.

Thematically fun with good live actor elements. Beware if you are well-endowed in the height department - there are low ceilings in this game. Sore backs and bumped heads galore!

Beautifully themed room let down by simplistic puzzles although this may be a product of the family-friendly nature of the room. Worth ticking off if you happen to be in the area.

Fantastic room that is up there with the greats in the UK. Theming is fantastic and you really have got to play in a bigger team to get the most out of this room. Some great puzzles and fun moments - good for any level of experience. Really should be worthy of 5 stars but a few pitfalls exist. Unfortunately there was some broken tech in the room and games master had to intervene and enter the room at one point. Hosting was also okay but could’ve done with a bit of atmospheric story telling as we were never told the back story of the room. Also have to raise some conventional safety concerns - fractured plastic cutting one player’s hand, few heavy objects.. nothing severe but do be careful

Neither here nor there really, some ridiculously easy puzzles and some very difficult puzzles.

Padlock heaven! Escape Quest delivers again, this time with a side of Christmas cheer. Fantastic room with some great puzzles, although I do think this was the easiest of the instalments. Hosting impeccable as always - every experience here always is very personable and you truly feel valued. Please support this company and play every room they’ve got!

Always dubious of ‘tech-driven’ games and this was no exception, tech sadly was broken a couple of times throughout the game but the host managed this very well. Imogen was a fantastic games master - an asset to the team. A few puzzles a tad illogical and most of them lacking a bit of depth. Sadly not up to the standard I would expect from Cave Escape but nonetheless an okay room.

As expected from Extremescape, great theming and mechanisms - you would never think the room is as old as it actually is! Puzzle progression a bit more difficult in this game, lots of head scratching and uncertainty (open your eyes more!). Good game and will be enjoyed by any and all!

Absolutely brilliant - mechanics in the room are great and really add to the experience. Be ready for several wow moments! Puzzles are good and love the theming. Progression in the room sometimes not obvious but all part of the challenge. Hint giving could sometimes be less obvious. Don’t miss this room!
