Trapp’d: Legend of Drakon

Wellingborough, Nov 2018

Ambitious as ever in their game concepts, Trapp’d have set the third game of their Wellingborough branch in a dragon’s cave. At least, that’s what the game’s marketing material suggests, though having set players’ expectations so high, the room risks… (more)

Trapp’d: The Forsaken

Wellingborough, Nov 2018

Of the three games at Trapp’d Wellingborough, Forsaken is the one with the least exotic theme – you’re merely infiltrating a Satanic cult, not an underwater city or a dragon’s cave. It is however decorated with equal gusto, and perhaps because it set… (more)

Trapp’d: Atlantis The Lost City

Wellingborough, Nov 2018

I have to hand it to Trapp’d – most companies wouldn’t even think of attempting to build an escape room set in an underwater city. If the result falls short of being properly convincing, they still get points for trying. From one perspective their un… (more)

Trapp’d: Exordium

Northamptonshire, Aug 2018

Once again you are humanity’s last hope – this time on a mission to Mars to find a mysterious artefact that is our last chance to repair the ravages of runaway global warming. Or something like that, anyway. Trapp’d provide printed cards with verbose… (more)

Trapp’d: Dead On Arrival

Northamptonshire, Aug 2018

I’m not going to mince words here: I hated this game. We played it as two teams of two, and our second group liked it even less. Reviewing escape games is inevitably subjective, but I try as best I can to separate out factors specific to my run-throu… (more)

Trapp’d: 46 Below

Northamptonshire, Aug 2018

It is a policy with Trapp’d to supply all players with blindfolds before they enter a room, so that they don’t see their surroundings before the game starts. With their abandoned mine and American West games they also give all players plastic shoe pr… (more)

Trapp’d: The Outlaws of Red Rock

Peterborough, Feb 2018

The second game at the Peterborough branch of Trapp’d is their Western game, though since you start locked up and need to secure a gemstone before escaping, it has prison and heist elements thrown into the mix as well.

At their Northampton branch, I… (more)

Trapp’d: Madame Curio’s Cirque Delirium

Peterborough, Feb 2018

Trapp’d expanded last year to three branches, with the two games in Peterborough being their newest. Cirque Delirium is a carnival theme, where a sinister circus seems to be enslaving its visitors, and you have the usual 60 minutes to find a way out … (more)

Trapp’d: Molten Creek Mine

Northampton, Aug 2017

This game needs a warning: wear clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty. Or perhaps a stronger version: expect to come out absolutely filthy.

As you might guess from that, Molten Creek Mine goes all-in on the decor. The story is that you’re a team… (more)

Trapp’d: The Monosphere

Northampton, Aug 2017

Trapp’d’s Northampton branch (and only now do I notice how awkward their name is to apostrophise) has two games at time of writing, and the first one we tried was Monosphere. This game has the original premise that you are… in an escape room. Howev… (more)
