A new game, written and designed by a new writer - it's important to take this on board. There are some fantastic puzzle ideas in here - a couple that need some tweaks to make them work better (more reliably) but that will come with time and experience. 

The build quality is strong, a lot of the puzzles are fun, well executed and include some head scratchers, which we like. 

Requires a little more signposting in my opinion - a lot of 4 digit locks with no indication as to which one is to which puzzle which becomes a bit of a time sync. 

All round a strong room with lots of different puzzles and things to do. Well done to the new owners and management. 

I have no words for this one. 

GM spent more time in the room than out 

We managed to complete 1 puzzle before it all fell apart

We didnt get the final puzzle pieces correctly due to a poor reset and someone adding bits that weren't needed, so we had to guess

Overriding puzzles everywhere just because...

We were hinted by the dreaded "walkie talkie" that was just such a bad noise the clues needed clues.

There was broken, damaged props (possibly clues, who knows) everywhere, noise that was just noise.  (probably a clue. again who knows?) 

A full disaster - we dont know if we escaped  - neither did the GM. We have contacted management for full refunds as this game is a disgrace to Escape Rooms. 

AVOID AT ALL COSTS! 

Decided very last minute to play - owner could not be more accomodating or lovely!!

Game was great, split start which we all love and puzzles that worked, made senses and were very logical. We may have had a quicker time if we hadn't "tidied up" so well and hidden the last bit of information we needed from ourselves - but it made for hilarious viewing for the GM and some red cheeks from us! 

Owner was so lovely, could have stayed and chatted for hours. Planning a return visit for sure! 

This actually became my 300th room - so I was greeted with some "happy 300th" balloons which was lovely! Thank you!! 

The room was beautiful, magical coloured clouds, sweeties, candy. I think at one point most of my team were puzzling and I was just wandering around having a good look at all the decoration.

Puzzles - magical, fun, made sense, not too overwhelming or over stimulating. Great for families again, perfect for us on this visit. 

Hosting 10/10. 

Highly recommend!! 

Not a theme I'd typically go for but what a lovely puzzle fest! We entered and instantly got excited because we saw lots of padlocks! Lovely. 

Every puzzle worked brilliantly, they made logical sense, signposting was there when needed and once again brilliantly hosted.

Great for families, newbie teams and as enthusiasts we had a great time! 

What a delight. This game was well themed had some nice unique puzzles & was very family friendly. 

Hosting fantastic - Definately worth a visit if you're in the area. 

Marauders Lair is the best game for familes, couples, newbies or enthusiats! There is something for everyone! 

I actually played this alone and still had a blast. It's well signposted, beautifully built with some original puzzles and bits I havent seen before even nearly 300 games in! 

Kelly always builds a stunning game with amazing puzzles.

Do not miss! 

If you dont like de-coding EVERYTHING you come across (like me) this isn't for you. 

I appreciate where some enjoy this one but it wasn't for one of our team members. The other enjoyed it.

A few things were a "bit of a stretch" puzzle wise with little to no signposting or pushing to where you may need to go next, which broke flow and enjoyment quite a lot. 

I woudn't say this one is good for teams early in their escaping experience. 

Challenging level taken on - wasn't too challenging so the more experienced players shouldn't be put off going for it. Its great this company offer a "beginner" version of the games. 

Nice game, nothing to strenuous, some nice easy puzzles and a couple of more in depth, cute aspect for the younger players too. 

This game was a bit bitter sweet for us. During an early puzzle we lost a lot of time due to what transpired to be a technical issue so we started quite frustrated and behind on time. Unfortunately due to the way "clues" are delivered we had no contact with a GM and eventually called her in to help because we were unable to move on from what is essentially following basic instructions.  We then hit another technical situation later on that again created frustrations and tensions. BUT I'm not going to dwell on these too much we know tech can be risky and let us down from time to time . Positively there are some very cool and clever puzzles in this game and again it tested us (which we like) it is definately better suited to a larger team I'd say but is achievable as a strong 2 (we did escape) again the location and the theming etc was brilliantly immersive and I wouldnt steer people away from playing at all. Some good use of the space and puzzles on theme. 

Shout out to our host who was brilliant and showed us all the fantastic original features etc. all in all a solid, well loved game. 

The location of this game is incredible, set in an original vetinary operating theatre you feel immediately immersed in the story etc. 

There are a LOT of puzzles in this game, all absolutely achievable and make sense, observation will serve you very well and the game builds tension well. 

We really enjoyed this game and it's the first in a while that has tested us to be close to the end of time. 

Another belter from Case Closed - this game had been on my radar for a long time and finally I had the opportunity to play. I had a blast playing radio host and solving mysteries, basically all my favourite things! 

A very immersive, clever game and again a must not miss! 

What a fantastic traditional murder mystery! Loved this game, listen closely to your host when he explains how to approach the game and you will have a blast! No spoilers from me - it's a must play, absolutely brillliant fun, immersion and amazing interations. 

I took this game on for a second time (following completing it last year with a different partner) the idea is very complex, 86 puzzles, 3 different levels of puzzles all worth different points. Complete the puzzle, add the correct name and post it to Santa - if you're right you get points, if you're wrong it comes back. It's chaos, it's hectic, it's a game everyone can try and you will always get a score! 

Great fun Christmas game!! 

This game is very fun, with lots of different elements to enjoy - a non linear experience with some really cute moments that kids and adults will love. One particular puzzle that both the writer and host have a lot of "love" for and I can see why (no spoilers here) A very fun festive game for all levels of players!
