Unfortunately this room really didn’t have a lot going for it. I play as a two with my wife and I enjoy working together on puzzles. However in this room you are separated for a large majority of the game.

There was a large piece of tech in the room that required both of you to work together but it was broken and as it was out of action, there was a work around which had less of a co-op nature. The other co op bits you could do alone, and the quality of the build just seemed average at best. It felt as though the puzzles you were solving were being remotely triggered when you solved them and the tech/build was of a lower standard.

I felt the room massively lacked puzzles, but maybe it felt this way because you were in separate rooms for a long time so you were only looking at 1/2 the puzzles. But even so I really didn’t rate the room, or the variety of puzzles, or lack there of. With one puzzle, how you would know to solve it without any sort of guidance is beyond me!

Overall, disappointing, minimal theming, lacking a variety of puzzles and if it wants for the fact we had 30% off, it would have not been great value for money.

As for the staff, very friendly and positive. I like to debrief with them after however we didn’t really do this much. I must admit I prefer attending rooms from solo companies and not chains, as I feel it’s nice to chat and get to know the staff as they seem more passionate about the rooms they’re building and creating.

Castaway is a great room for beginners and seasoned pros. It has a lovely flow of puzzles and there’s plenty of them. It’s one of the easier rooms we’ve done, but that could also be down to the fact we’ve done more now and are learning the ways of escape room puzzle design. But don’t let that put you off as it’s still a very enjoyable room.

The theming and build quality is what you’d expect from EO Escape Rooms. Well built, well designed and well run.

Always lovely to have Kelly as our Games Master, so passionate about escape rooms and puzzle design.

This was our 4th visit to Sudbury Escape Rooms and every time I’ve been impressed with the theming, and quality of the build of the rooms. No tech was broken, the puzzles didn’t look tired or worn.

On the whole it was a good room. Very linear and the escape was very much one lock at a time. The live actor part for me didn’t add to the experience and could been improved.

On the whole, enjoyable and family friendly. Our team was 2 adults and 2 early teens. All members were able to contribute and be heavily involved in the game. 

Spur of the moment visit as our plans had to change. This room was all they had available to us at the time.

Enjoyable room with some nice theming (although I don’t know the Sweeny Todd story which helps but only slightly and didn’t withdraw from the experience). The puzzles were of a good difficulty, some easier than others.

I did think there was a bit of a red herring with a sequence of puzzles that lead us down a rabbit hole and me in to thinking that there was an issue with the locks! But after a few clues we were back on track.

I’d say a small group for this room is ideal, there isn’t the space or enough puzzles for lots of people to be working on at one time. It’s very linear in that respect.

Overall enjoyable. 

An escape room in a van! 4 people was enough for this “room”.  Any more and it would be too cramped. Some good fun puzzles. One didn’t work too well as the van wasn’t completely flat and level which made it a bit tricky. But in the whole a good room
