The absurd use of Ai generated imagery and voice recordings and heavy reliance upon it for the rooms has ruined this local business for me, the place used have integrity and had good prop based puzzles. This visit was disappointing to me, the use of Ai generated posters and puzzles were extremely off putting and lazy when it could be so easily replaced by stock images or actual photos. Posters can be easily designed by hand and it’s a shame because they clearly have creative people on the team. The abundant reliance on Ai will off put customers like me from visiting a once trusted and respected local business.

First time here for fairly seasoned team of three. Took on the Mansion and made it out with just under 10 mins to spare. Nicely set out room(s) and puzzles, good atmosphere and very attentive, helpful staff fron the start. Won't spoil it but one of the better creepy escape rooms we've done and gets you thinking and moving. Work as a team with 3 or more and you're in with a chance. We'll be coming back.

You dont realise how quick an hour can go. Went with my 2 kids I would say suitable for their ages 11 and 14. They did better then me

Really good fun here for a child’s 11th birthday. They did the hardest room and needed a couple of clues but they did it!!! A few of the children had lower attention spans and started to muck around after a while. So if they’re not into puzzles and solving a good number of them repeatedly in a row is going to switch them off then maybe this isn’t the activity for them. I didn’t get any photos of the rooms so as to not spoil the surprise. The two staff were lovely and helpful too.

My daughter took some friends to celebrate her 13th birthday, they loved it. Even her 16 year old brother had a good time.
