MUST DO FAMILY EXPERIENCE

A fantastic experience, we found it tough as we chose the hardest level and majority of the group were suffering from a late night in town but still managed to escape with 1m27s to spare LOL, will definitely be back to try the other rooms, FIVE STAR

Best escape room to date!

Exceptional detail in room and challenging clues. We finished the standard level but not the advanced, though attempted. Very clever people who designed this space. Hands down the best escape room we've experienced, highly recommend!
