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…
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…
Murder At The Wild West Quest Saloon – Clever Dilemma – Faversham
I could do a string of cowboy/John Wayne type jokes here, but they would be rubbish and wouldn’t live up to the standard of a fantastic, immersive and innovative room. Read more here…
Underground 2099 – Mission:Breakout – Camden
A mysterious game in so many ways – a haunting venue, a sci-fi apocalypse, futuristic tech, shadowy mutant rodents, and bafflingly dead puzzles.
To try to make some sense of it all, read more here…
Inbound – Escape Hub – Maidstone
It has been bugging me what this game reminded me of. Have finally worked it out – Kirkgate, a recreation of a Victorian street, in the York Castle Museum, which made a strong impression on me as a kid. I could see this immersive World War II set game providing families with some equally good memories. Read more here…
Citizen Erased – Hysteria – Chatham
A thrilling sci-fi adventure, escaping a futuristic prison using only your wits, teamwork and an oddly adorable ball. If it was a film, I’d definitely watch it. Or, like us, you can come to Kent and live it. Read more here…
Loop – The Panic Room – Gravesend
I can’t tell you anything about this game. I can’t tell you anything about this review. I’ve already said too much. Don’t read more, here…
