Chocolate Factory – SCRAMM – Banbury
Yay, chocolate! That’s all you need to know, really. If you want to read more, I suppose you can always click here…
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…
Lost Temple of Yumiko – Trapp’d – Northampton
This was a grudge match – Teenage Avenger and his crew went and played this game without me last year, escaping in 58 minutes. So I gathered my own team of intrepid explorers and set off to the perilous badlands of central Northampton to see if we could do any better.
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
What better place to investigate a bleak Cold War army bunker than in a Kettering bowling alley? May sound crazy, but we did actually have fun with this. Maybe we are just a little masochistic… Read more here…
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…
Robin of Lockskey – Escapologic – Nottingham
Cute name, cute game, a fun physical quest for a medieval golden arrow. An amazing venue with enthusiastic staff, incredibly creative sets and unique gameplay. Truly the stuff of legends. Read more about how we got on (can you tell we liked it?) 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…
