Beautifully put together game. Possibly my favourite I’ve played so far in the UK 😍

We had a few problems with this room which detracted from our experience:

- puzzles solved accidentally just by touching them and then we had no idea they were solved

- lights not working which were meant to signpost us to puzzles to do and puzzles being complete

- room opening accidentally meaning we were exploring a dark space for a few minutes when we weren’t meant to be in there

- too dark

- too loud at a point when it was important to be able to hear each other

- a puzzle that was probably part of the game in the past, no longer being relevant but still in place 

Good things - friendly hosting, dramatic scenery 

Very atmospheric and some fun features. 

A funny room. 

Not for the physically unfit! Luckily I was borderline and just about made it. 

Though at one point I felt like I was having some sort of special rebirthing  experience as I struggled through all the balls shouting to my husband ‘push me, push me’.

Seriously though I would totally recommend doing this room if you’re in Athens. It’s quite different from all the other rooms I’ve done before and could offer some light relief in between all the Athens horror games.

Having done quite a few space themed rooms, this one takes the award for giving me the feeling of actually being aboard an actual space ship. 

A funny and interactive escape room set in the Wild West. 

Yay! We made it to Chapel & Catacombes in Athens and it was great. 

This was our first escape room in Athens and  I was really worried about what we had signed up for after reading some terrifying reviews about horror rooms in Athens but this room wasn’t too horrific. Definitely creepy and unnerving but I was able to cope ok once we got going.

The space is ginormous and dark and the set is amazing - it’s so impressive how they managed to build all of that inside the building.

Definitely give it a go if you are in Athens.

This room blew my mind - in a good way! Looking forward to returning to Greece to do the rest of these rooms.

We did the Wild West part of this escape room only as we were a group of 2

I have done things in this escape room that I have never done in any other rooms! Includes very lively live actors and some fun challenges. My main complaint would be that we felt the people running it saw it more as an experience than a typical escape room so at points we weren’t allowed enough time to solve puzzles and instead were rushed through which didn’t feel good. It was meant to be 75 minutes but we got out in well under an hour so I don’t know why we weren’t given the chance to do things properly - maybe the live actors were perhaps keen to get us through so they could be done. 

We found this a difficult room to escape out of partly due to some  game flaws and partly due to our own stupidity! 

Had a really great time escaping the imminent zombie apocalypse in this room. The puzzles were clever and there were some fun surprises along the way. Host was friendly and good at making children feel welcome.

Very friendly hosting. A fun room to escape from. 

Really enjoyed this game. Fun way of getting clues. Interesting mix of puzzles that all worked really well together.

Another excellent game from Agent Brains. The music set the scene perfectly and we had a fun hour saving the world from Dr Nogood’s evil new year plans.

Like the other 2 games we played in the Netherlands this week, this game was very immersive, scary at times and we really felt like we’d been on an adventure by the end. 

If you’ve ever fancied being inside an episode of Black Mirror, this is the game for you. Interestingly unnerving, dark and weirdly touching. 

We played as a team of two and loved it. It was unlike anything we’ve done in the UK – way bigger, very immersive, and the story kept building throughout . There were some fun puzzles we hadn’t experienced before, an amazing atmosphere and the hosting was spot on. We really appreciated not being given too many clues. Totally recommend!

Really enjoyed this well put together room. It had a good mix of puzzles and fun things. 

Logical and well put together room. Has fun with the fruit 🍈 

Fun game. Very friendly hosts.

A very professionally put together room with good puzzles and fun scares. The weirdest clue system I have ever encountered though - the host would walk in to help you! At one point he just randomly came in to check if we wanted any clues (we didn’t). So strange as the rest of the set up seemed very professional. This is the only game I’ve done in Australia so maybe they are all like that?! We had fun though.
