Brilliant game. Did the pharoah's tomb which definitely had its tricky moments. Linny was a brilliant host and made the experience fun and engaging from the outset. The only improvement I would suggest would be for more push-the button tasks or something that gives satisfying click so you know you have successfully completed something but it didnt take anything away from thr game and we will back! We definitely want to try the cocktails on our next visit!

We did the Cursed Cabin room at Escape Colchester and it was absolutely brilliant from start to finish! My friend Abi was our game master and she was incredible—she set such a spooky, immersive atmosphere, gave just the right subtle hints when we got stuck, and really brought the whole story to life. Every detail felt thought‑out, the puzzles were clever but fair, and she kept the energy perfect the whole time. It’s easily one of the best escape rooms I’ve tried, and her performance made it even more memorable—I’d 100% recommend to anyone and will definitely be back!

So much fun, really lovely establishment with loads of escape rooms to choose from, decently tricky puzzles that’ll have you scratching your head. Our host Ellie was so polite and helpful. Will definitely be going back for more!

This was such a fun experience! We did the witchcraft and wizardry room and it was challenging without being impossible, and had lots of unique puzzles. Our host Ellie was super helpful and friendly, and we are already looking to see which room we should do next!
