Gold Rush – Enigma Rooms – Watford
New year, new room (and the usual resolutions to get my reviews written and posted more promptly…).
Not a bad effort this, as we only played in December (yes, 2022, don’t be rude), but a game very worthy of a timely review. To find out how swiftly we tracked down One Tooth Tex’s gold* read more here…
*we actually got the room record, but the venue had only been open two days and it has since been beaten, so we’re not going to boast about it.
Claus’ Christmas Crash – Esc Rushden – Rushden
It’s only November! I hear you cry (well, I suppose it depends on when you are reading this). But right now it is that wonderful time of the year when Escape Room venues start to flex their festive creative muscles with seasonal family-friendly pop-ups. We were lucky enough to get a sneak play of Esc Rushden‘s offering, a few days before the official opening. Read about it here…
Framed – One Way Out – Oakham
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.
Curse of Curawood’s Garden – Escape Hub – Maidstone
I like owls. On balance, faced with turning an owl wizard back into a human, I’d probably rather leave him as an owl. Alas, that choice was not available to us here, so it was off into a magical garden in search of a cure. Find out how we got on by reading more, here...
Cold War – Thunderbowl – Kettering

Beyond Zero – Escape For Real – Newport Pagnell
Delayed review (must have got stuck in a parallel world) for a fun, family-friendly, high-tech game with a lovely company. Read more here…
Old Father Time – The Panic Room – Gravesend
A magical fairytale room for the nimble, observant and young-at-heart. Unfortunately, on that particular day, we appeared to be none of those things. Discover how we got on in this milestone game by reading more here…
The Perfect Egg – One Way Out – Oakham
Little early Easter present, playing a lovely, sweet, chocolatey game. Also very exciting for me, as I’ve seen this game grow from a germ of an idea I discussed with the owner at One Way Out into a full manifestation of their creativity. Read more here…
Alice In Puzzleland – Escape Hunt – Kingston upon Thames
Our trip to the psychedelic world of Wonderland sorry Puzzleland. Genius or crazy? Childish or avant-garde? Deceptively beautiful or unexpectedly sinister? That’s enough questions about our team, how was the room? Read more here…
