A spontaneous trip to the welcoming venue in Oakham, to be greeted with cake, mysterious boxes and a corpse, our idea of a perfect Saturday.

Murder At The Wild West Quest Saloon – Clever Dilemma – Faversham
I could do a string of cowboy/John Wayne type jokes here, but they would be rubbish and wouldn’t live up to the standard of a fantastic, immersive and innovative room. Read more here…
*Chocolateral Puzzles – Enigmailed – Home Play Game*
If you are looking for an original Easter present for the puzzle lover in your life, this might be the answer – chocolate wrapped in brainteasers wrapped in a story. We play/taste-tested three of the bars (we bravely suffer for the cause) to bring you our verdict. Read more here…
The Diamond Dogs – Clue Cracker – Tunbridge Wells
A gentle, relaxing Saturday evening – taking on a job for your scary crimelord buddy, breaking into the heavily secured jewellers, dodging lasers and the guards, stealing a monster diamond, detonating explosives, fleeing the cops…and that’s all after trying to survive dodgy Dave’s hairy van driving. Find out here all about one of our closest finishes ever.
Cartel – Trapp’d – Corby
A throwback review today, a fairly forgettable game from a year we’d probably rather forget – or maybe just the imprisonment theme felt a bit too close to home for 2020? Either way, read more here…
Murder On Norfolk St – Escape Rooms King’s Lynn
A spot of sleuthing in Norfolk, hunting for murderers, great new venues, treasure, and car parks… We were successful in some of this. Find out more here…
End Of The Line – Trapp’d – Northampton
Did we show Captain America/Bucky Barnes type levels of devotion to this railway heist game? (Apologies to non-Marvel geek humans, who won’t get that reference). Either way, read more here…
*Ben’s Big Heist – Experios – Home Play Game*

*Underground Murder – Virtual Escaping – Home Play Game*
Escapes On A Train. Well, a virtual train. And you don’t really have to escape, you just have to stop the murderer escaping. And it’s not really the Underground, more the Subway (not the sandwich shop). But, the good news, there is definitely a murder. Possibly not such good news for the victim. Oh, just read the review, here.
*Who Killed Bugsy Marlowe? – Great Scott Escapes – Home Play Game*
The year, 1937. The scene, three clueless dames trapped in a classy hotel with a corpse, a murderer and more clues than a Raymond Chandler hot dream. Enter, our hero (from IT) to save us from a terrible fate…
