We did the Peterpan escape room . The person explaining the rules spoke really fast but did try and slow down when we asked . The puzzle level was just right and you could ask for a hint if you needed it . We were a mixed aged group from 6yrs to 62yrs and everyone had fun . There are pubs close by too if you want a drink afterwards.

Did the Peter Pan room with a group of friends who’d never done an escape room before. We chose to do the easiest level, and Becky who looked after us was so patient and encouraging - thank you! We had a brilliant time! I’d highly recommend giving this a try.

We tackled the Forbidden Room of Fun with our two grandsons, aged 8 and 6. Everyone - adults and children - thoroughly enjoyed making our escape, and games master Becky was delightful. Thank you for an hour of great fun!

Did the forbidden room of fun tonight as a team of four adults and two kids and there was something for everyone in this room, a great challenging room and we got out by the skin of our teeth but we made it. Will almost certainly be back asap.

We did Peter Pan and the forbidden room of fun split in couples on Valentine's day. The girls beat the boys but it's the taking part that counts :)
