Escape This Room: London Bank Heist

London, May 2017

Escape This Room is one of the most recent additions to the London escape game scene – but however only a temporary addition, since it turns out they’re only running until 27th May, putting them in competition for shortest pop-up escape room run ever… (more)

Enigma Room: The Bank Job

Sheffield, Apr 2017

Whilst checking out which rooms to try in Sheffield during a quick visit to the Snooker, we stumbled upon Enigma Rooms. A three-venue franchise outfit based initially in Doncaster, but now including Sheffield and Retford.

Handily located on Sheffie… (more)

Ex(c)iting Game: Project: The Diamond

Oxford, Mar 2017

Ex(c)iting Games‘ second room is refreshingly well-lit, a relief after Warehouse. It also has a novel twist: in the briefing we were warned that a security guard might sometimes look into the room, so when we heard footsteps we had ten seconds to hid… (more)

Team Exit: Spy at the President’s

Warsaw, Mar 2017

Billed as Team Exit’s harder game, it started and ended strongly, but had weak points through the middle. The briefing (pay attention!) instructs you to deactivate the lasers in the room, which give a very impressive atmospheric start; similarly the … (more)

Leicestershire, Nov 2016

Based at the Twin Lakes … (more)

Xitroom: Crack the Safe

Amsterdam, Aug 2016

The room starts in the dark with a hunt for the lightswitch – which I feel didn’t really add much to the game itself. However, we had that done after a minute or so, and could get stuck into the puzzles.

The puzzles were varied – and had very few lo… (more)

Enigma Quests: Million Pound Heist

London, Nov 2016

In an unusual twist, this room isn’t about escaping as quickly as possible – instead, you’re aiming to escape with as much cash as possible, and the better you do the more you’ll get out with.

There’s maybe an over-reliance on the ‚laminated sheet o… (more)

ClueTrace: Mindcrime

London, Oct 2016

A nicely designed room with a good variety of solid puzzles, including plenty of creative ideas. Strangely I didn’t find it all that memorable, maybe because we went through it rather quickly – but definitely a high quality room that I’d recommend to… (more)

Escape Entertainment: Bank Heist

London, Apr 2016

This room stood out for the sheer crazy number of keys involved – when you’re used to getting excited over each hard-won key, it’s entertaining to have such a profusion of the things.

For a heist theme I’d point players to Enigma Quests or maybe Clu… (more)
