Initiating some rookies into our occasional life of crime, we heisted a bank on a wet January Sunday, this time in Norwich. As an aside, can venues start coming up with more original name for bank heists, rather than just The Bank Heist? Please and thank you. If you are stuck, give me a shout and I’ll come up with something more creative for you. But that’s fairly irrelevant for now – to read our review of the game (as opposed to the name) click here…

Prison Breakout – Clued Up! – Norwich
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…
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…
