Me and my partner done the haunted and it was brilliant, the guild was great and explained the story before hand which was brilliant. We managed to complete it in 45mins, was one of our favourites.

We absolutely loved this even though we failed to escape, but nearly got to the end. I'm sorry I dont know the man's name who ran it, but he's amazing. It was an impulsive sudden thing my friends organised and I didn't much feel like doing anything, but it really made me giggle. Loved it. They want to do every single escape room now and they will believe me

We had a brilliant time at this escape room, we were a wide age range of 7-65 and we all really enjoyed ourselves. We did the mafia robbery room and it was the perfect mix of puzzles with bits accessible to everyone and plenty of challenge as well. The rooms were really well thought out and the support via the walkie talkie was excellent. Would highly recommend!
