Our Christmas-in-January trip to Norfolk saw us robbing a bank and then breaking out of jail. Perversely, I’m reviewing these backwards, because otherwise it would get a bit heist-y around here. Anyway, to find out how we got on, read more here…
things to do with kids
Temple Quest – Clue Cracker – Tunbridge Wells
One of our favourite ever games, finally reviewed. Explore the incredible temple, full of traps and mysteries, in the company of cheeky monkey Boris, and feel like a real adventure hero. Read all about it, here...and then go play it, immediately!
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.
Phantom Peak – London
Slightly longer review than normal, and for something that isn’t actually an Escape Room… But the crazy immersive open-world adventure of Phantom Peak was one of the highlights of our year. Read more 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.
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…
Crazy Cat Lady – Gatwick Escape Rooms – Gatwick
A pleasingly wacky and family-friendly concept for an Escape Room, rounding up Aunt Edna’s mischief-making fur babies. Cute, fun, and not without surprises… who knew Aunty Ant was so deeply traumatised by The Wizard of Oz? Read more (but not about that) here…
