Beautifully designed room, some nice set pieces and a fantastic host in Robin! 

Wonderful room. Lovely to see more of a handmade feel to the room, and some unusual puzzles and locks (cane!) 

Enjoyed this. Great the ming, some nice physical puzzles. And all the tech worked! 

First game at Sheffield Escape Hunt, and impressed with set up and puzzles. However due to interference on microphone, and sound cutting out, we picked up a significant hint much later than we should have. In fact the GM ended up having to come into the room to tell us when she realised we couldnt tell what she was saying. Teething troubles I'm sure for this new venue, look forward to doing the other games soon. 

Easy to see why this room gets so many good reviews! The thought and attention to detail that has gone into Escape From Oz is unbelievable. Definitely one of my favourite rooms. Shout out to Chris the GM who was very happy to chat with us about the work involved on this and other rooms at Enigma Pontefract. We will definitely be back! 

Brilliant new room from Cryptology. When I say it's the same high standard as their other rooms, I am not kidding. Cryptology Sheffield are a fantastic little venue and well worth a visit. Some really nice nods to Sheffield's history (which you do not need to know in order to solve the puzzles, but it shows the level of detail lovingly furnished on this room.) Some great handcrafted puzzles here (including one that almost caused us to come to blows - you evil geniuses you!) Plus extra points for the music puzzle (without giving anything away, my favourite in the room!) loved it, and looking forward to the new room when it's open! 

Big shout out to Locked In A Room for this fantastic themed room! Aside from being fans of Wallace & Grommit, and escape rooms (so - cracking, as Wallace would say!), there are so many good things to say about this room! I'll gloss over one of the puzzles not registering as quickly as we'd solved it (IYKYK) but otherwise a brilliant room. A moderate number of padlocks (but tbh it fits the inventor-y theme imo) and some great set pieces. Some nice touches and nods to the movies. Well worth a visit. 

If there's something strange in your neighbourhood, who you gonna call? (Oops sorry wrong 80's movie!) But seriously, call Escapable and book this room. I cannot rate it highly enough. From the enthusiastic hosting to the room design, the puzzles, and THAT FINALE, this is definitely one for the bucket list! If you're a fan of Emmett, Einstein & co, you will love this room. If you're a child of the 80's (yup), you will love this room. If you like really well put together escape rooms - you will love this room. 

Really enjoyed this one. Great scenery, great props, loved the Cheshire Cat! Would recommend this highly to families, the ming is spot on. And not a number padlock in sight! 

Brilliant variation on the He-who-shall-not-be-named-because-copyright theme. Some nice puzzles, one element we had not seen in an escape room, and excellent hosting from Georgie. If you're in the area, do not miss this room! 

For a small room (45 mins time limit too), this manages to pack a lot in. Very festive, as you'd expect a Christmas room to be, and some nicely themed puzzles. All to the same high standard of Cryptology's other rooms. Thoroughly enjoyed this one! 

Probably best pirate themed room we have done. Well themed, nice mix of puzzles, and great hosting! 

One of the most original rooms I have ever played. Fantastic concept, some excellent puzzles, and yes, we failed to escape, but on a room this good, I wasn't even mad at failing. Good hosting too. 

This is one game that truly earns its 5 stars. From the fantastic host, to some very neat and clearly well-researched puzzles, it was a pleasure to play. Would thoroughly recommend! 

Whilst this is an improvement on the previous Zoltan room, and there are some nice puzzles, I feel like a couple are a little too hard without help - and help was a little hard to give, given the location of said puzzle. Overall though, enjoyed the room. 

Very much enjoyed our time in Carfax! Some nice pieces, beautifully set. 

One for fans of musicals! Apart from one sticky padlock and one point where we thought we had completed, only to have to reset (our fault, not the room!) We enjoyed most of the puzzles in this room, and there are plenty to complete. 

Fantastic room! A lot of thought has gone into the theming, really well laid out and enough to keep us all busy. 

Nice family friendly room. We didn't have the most enthusiastic host, but still enjoyed ourselves. 

Really enjoyed this one. 

One of those rooms which sadly does not work unless you really go for it with regards to the theming. Sadly putting a few viking items on the walls does not cut it. A shame. 

Not so much padlock and code as more puzzle driven, but the sets (and license) make up for it. If you like Doctor Who, you will like this. 

More about the experience than actually escaping, this one. Nicely built, pay attention in the final room though. 

Not one for the chicken wusses amongst you (and I include myself in that!) luckily I had a big brave helper on hand! Some nice little touches and puzzles, very glad to have solved this one so I don't have to do it again! 

Hit and miss with this room. Some fun puzzles and codes, some a little confusing (thst might have just been us, though!) solved part one but not part two. Did get to meet the fabled Hovis, however! 

Some nice elements to this room. One for the HP fans. 

Tried this room twice now, and as someone else has perfectly summed up, you get a third of an escape room each. If you are not communicating effectively, you will not get out. One puzzle in particular was quite hard to see, and held us up for longer than it should have. 

Definitely my favourite of Cryptology's games. Some nice little puzzles in here, and great sets too. 

A lot of fun, this room. Definitely team work involved! Nice addition to Lockuo's roster. 

Sadly some of the effects were not working, which made the room a little confusing for us. Shame as Cryptology's other games are really good! 

Bear in mind this is in keeping with the Dungeons general sense of humour, so if that's not your thing, this may not be the escape room for you. (particularly one search at the beginning!) We however found it a lot of fun, well built and worth doing.
