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.

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...
Revenge of the Sheep – clueQuest – London
Little holiday break for us, but still been busy playing rooms. Here’s one of the highlights of our summer escaping… read 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…
EPI-Centre – Escapologic – Nottingham
Saving the world again (you’re welcome), this time from earthquakes, rioters and a mad-as-a-box-of-frogs A.I. system with a love of 80s music and terrible puns. Find out more about this unique disaster game from Escapologic 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…
The Fourth Samurai – Escape Hunt – Milton Keynes
I suppose the clue is in the name here, we probably should have only had four samurai, rather than our slightly unwieldy team of sorta six. In our defence though, we had no idea we were going to be playing THIS game until seconds before we stumbled through the door of the room itself. Find out how all that happened by reading more here…
