Great fun in the box game. Unfortunately we didn't escape. Be prepared it's a hot room, no need for a coat.

Our group of 4 did The Game Show and The Box, both of which were great and offered something different. We enjoyed the variety of puzzles, they were fairly pitched and challenging. Our host was very helpful and the location handy for Pallion Metro.

We played The Vault as a pair and thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. It kicks off with a brilliant surprise (which I won’t spoil here) and continues to deliver clever twists and moments throughout. Nothing overly physical or taxing, but some genuinely devilish puzzles that really make you think. Billy was warm, welcoming, and excellent throughout — especially when one small thing went slightly awry (not the game’s fault, just one of those things). The clue system is particularly well designed, keeping us firmly in the driving seat rather than feeling hand-held. A fantastic room and a great experience overall. We’ll definitely be back.

We had a great time at Strategy Sunderland. Four of us (including an 11 year old) did the Wonderland room which was really well designed and a good level of challenge. The host was great and there were some lovely Xmas touches including chocolate coins in the room and a little present if you found an elf hiding in the room. We plan to return and try another room. Thank you Strategy team!
