Stewart and the team were so welcoming when we came on Sunday. I honestly can’t believe we’ve waited so long to come here! First escape room we’ve done and we’ve already got the bug! Absolute gem of a place, great variety of food and drinks at really reasonable prices. Plus they host tribute act nights, bingo and quiz nights too which I completely didn’t realise. Can’t wait to come back ❤️

Excellent night at the George Michael Tribute. Tickets are so reasonable yet the act was incredible. Everyone was up dancing. The cocktails were very strong and a bargain price. Would highly recommend.

Fun escape room and friendly staff! We did the Robin Hood escape room - it was fun but fairly easy - would say it’s a good beginner friendly one. Would recommend!

Enjoyed a lovely day in Lincoln accompanied my two daughters, we ended the day here with the Victorian escape room and a cocktail, the Pa(i)ge Turner, highly recommended! I’ve done numerous escape rooms and this one didn’t disappoint, each clue leading to the next, we all enjoyed it. Special mention to Stuart who was a very attentive host, definitely worth a visit!!
