The Abandoned Submarine - CLOSEDCyber QEscape roomIRLThis room comes so close to being one that we’d have enjoyed. The set is great, a good chunk of the puzzles are good, it has transitions and changing situations, but for us the whole room was let down by two interconnected tasks. We lost 20 minutes attempting these tasks, which in the end the GM allowed us to skip as it was just frustrating. With changes to this room, it could be brilliant.
ContraptionEscapologic - NottinghamEscape roomIRLA typical Escapologic set; fantastic detail and immersion that really takes you to a dark and dingy room with a contraption at centre stage. A great game with some clever puzzles, the only thing that felt a little negative was the climax of the game being a little flat. Nonetheless, this is a typical escapologic game and one not to be missed!
AfterlifeCryptology - SheffieldEscape roomIRLA well presented game with some good staging. Puzzles weren’t too complicated (except the first…) but all in all a neat experience.
The HellevatorClue HQ BirminghamEscape roomIRLThis room is possibly the smallest we’ve played, but the size of space does not in any way reflect on the quality and quantity of puzzles. Through clever methods, this room evolves at every stage, and has some neat little surprises. Cool story, could have been driven a little harder and been a little scarier! All in all, it’s excellent still, and totally worth a visit!
The Betrayal Of CluetankhamunClue HQ BirminghamEscape roomIRLA small space made into a good game with a suitable number of puzzles for a small group to tackle. Not the most difficult of games at all, but a great experience for new people to the community!

Robin Of LockskeyEscapologic - NottinghamEscape roomIRLA really fun and typical Escapologic game.

Devil’s Playground Chapter I - CLOSEDThe Great Escape Game - SheffieldEscape roomIRLPuzzles aplenty in this dark room. The transitional points of the game from set to set were really cool, and the spookiness adds to the fun of this game.

DystopiaMake Your EscapeEscape roomIRLImmersion value on this game is huge. If you visit Make Your Escape, play this game and Utopia back to back. The story flows and interlinks in such a neat way that you can truly buy in. The puzzles were good, but some may find difficult. A good game and well worth a visit!
UtopiaMake Your EscapeEscape roomIRLExcellent utopian future style game with white washed walls and clinical feeling throughout. Use of technology here was superb with some excellent puzzles, and when played back to back with Dystopia at Make Your Escape, the entire experience is incredible. A must visit in Derby!
