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

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…
The Chocolate Factory – Locked – Luton
What would be in your perfect sweetie factory? A chocolate river? Delicious, bubbling vats of toffee? Bouquets of aromatic herbs, heaps of fragrant spices or magical potion bottles of incredible flavours? How about … ducks? Read more here…

Christmas Tagalong – One Way Out – Oakham
Get into the Christmas spirit in a family-friendly way, with this fun pop-up game. Thankfully, an Elf On The Shelf-free zone.
The Defence of the Star Amulet – Horton’s Emporium – Northampton
At some point, in the midst of lockdown/not lockdown confusion, we played this new magic room at this kind-of new venue in Northampton. Were we enchanted, stupified or, umm, expeliarmus-ed? Read more here...
