Breakin‘ Escape Games: The Flying Dutchman

London, Feb 2017

This pirate-themed room was described both as the easiest one at Breakin‘, and the most kid-friendly, for which reason it was last on my list to play. Having now played it, it’s definitely the one I’d suggest for beginners, but it’s also a really fun… (more)

Breakin‘ Escape Games: War on Horizon Alpha

AIEscape: Kill M.A.D.

Cross Roads Escape Games: The Hex Room

California, Jan 2017

Having just completed the venue’s original and superb Fun House room, and enjoying it immensely, we were offered a bit of a discount to run straight into the Hex room. The Hex room is pitched as a Horror/Thriller experience. There’s some basic theme … (more)

Escape Plan: The Adventure Begins

London, Nov 2016

I loved this room from the moment we arrived. Unusually, it is located on the first floor of a beautiful mews building rather than in a basement or warehouse. The host gave us a warm and enthusiastic welcome and sent us into the room, aka the barrack… (more)

Time Run: Celestial Chain

London, Nov 2016

Celestial Chain has spectacular production values. Let’s be quite clear about that: the effects, stage craft and technology on display here are in a completely different league to most rooms, even more so than Time Run’s original room. Despite that, … (more)
