My friends and I (group of five) are always looking for something fun to do so we came here to do Rob the Bank. It was a great laugh but genuinely was really good. The staff were friendly, the set up of the game and clues were really good. We felt fully immersed after starting in the back of the van and we made it out in time! We are all 21 and thought it was fun but it’s definitely suitable for family too!

Really enjoyed the experience as me and my partner did the governor escape room. Before entering you will have to put your belongings away in a locker so you aren't cheating, then told useful information about the room and further led inside. Despite not succeeding in the escape room, the room itself was perfectly designed for the creepy jail vibe, and the puzzles were definitely challenging! The clues were very helpful😅

Had a fantastic afternoon doing the governor escape room. Zoe the member of staff, who played the governor was very professional, welcoming and made the whole experience really nice. Will definitely be coming back in the near future. Would recommend to everyone.

Love this place! I have visited here for a work team building activity twice. First we completed rob the bank, this room was great fun. Lots of puzzles and riddles and number games. The second one we unfortunately didn’t complete but tried..was the governor, this one was exactly what you’d expect, jump scares, creepy objects, and you start handcuffed so it’s pretty anxiety inducing! The actually game was very thought you and very well done, I think it was a lot harder then rob the bank because it had more puzzles and involved actual prison knowledge! Anyways, this is a brilliant place to go for a challenge!

Really enjoyed the experience here. I attended with a large group as a work social and we had an amazing time. We did the governor escape room. Before entering you will have to put your belongings away in a locker so you aren't cheating in the puzzle you are then told useful information about the room and further led inside. Despite not succeeding in the escape room,I think my work colleagues and I all tried our hardest, granted some of us were more help than others but it's all part of the fun and experience. The room itself was perfectly designed for the creepy jail vibe and the puzzles were definitely challenging! The clues were very helpful too. The staff were really friendly and so was the game master, I can't remember his name it was harry I think, I'm not entirely sure, even so, he was a fantastic game master and very helpful. It was all a great laugh and we got a picture together within the escape room (props included). All round really good fun
