TRULY TERRIBLE - DO NOT PLAY THIS ROOM

Made the mistake of returning to City Mazes in the hope that it might be somewhat better - was once again mistaken (of course).

Met by a bored looking host who scrolled on her phone whilst giving us the safety briefing before sticking us in the room with a walkie-talkie and a digital timer. Room is completely plain save for some polystyrene-like material sprayed on the door into the next equally plain room. Puzzles were illogical and non-sensical, had to radio for help multiple times only to be given clues that made no sense or told by the host that she didn’t know where in the room we were (this is a common experience at City Mazes, it should be noted). Host ended up coming into the room and solving the puzzle for us, and telling us that ‘it didn’t made sense to me either when I played it’. Opened the door to be greeted by a laminated sheet of A4 telling us we escaped and to go to the reception, where we were asked if we enjoyed the room and sent on our merry way.

Played every room there (don’t ask me why, I should learn from past mistakes), and they’re all shocking, but this one was by far the worst. Don’t waste your money.

Very easy room. Arrived at the centre to be told the sound was broken - bless the host as he tried his best to fill in for the missing audio!

The room was just very plain, easy puzzles and red-herrings that just distracted you from the point of the game. Very anticlimactic ending too which left a dampener on the whole experience.

These rooms are located in a city full of experiences that are so much better then what Escape Hunt has to offer, spend your money at one of those venues instead

Really cool concept in a room that I’ve never seen before! Amazing hosting as well and the room blew us away!

Four stars only because 95% of the experience is linear - this makes it difficult with groups of any size as a lot of the puzzles aren’t really accessible to more than two people at a time

A cracking room full of surprises! Hosting was great as always!

A very cool room, some really clever puzzles, lots of physical tasks, and not a single padlock to be found! Choice of a hard or easy version too (we played easy but were shown hard after hence the difficult rating!).

Only criticism is the last puzzle; the whole group thought it could do with a bit of a revamp as we easily spent 10 minutes on it.

Amazing room with so much inside, the best I’ve ever played for sure and certainly deserving of all those awards. Everything is so clever and well designed, the room is fully immersive and always throws something new at you. Hosting also great from the get-go!
