Curio
Escapologic - Nottingham
Escape room
IRL
A very well themed room, found the difficulty to be off the charts and the puzzles didn’t really flow. Additionally one puzzle in particular was definitely made with at least 4 players in mind as for 2 players it was a big time waster. We got 2 hints in the full hour despite asking for more and asking for a hint to be repeated we were ignored both times. Our host just felt “off” with us from the start, and felt like they were not paying attention to us in the room! I’d like to finish off by saying that we did two rooms across two days here and our experience in the other room immaterium was much better.

This room is amazing! Fully immersive, to the point of the floor literally shaking replicating the thrum of the ships engine. The puzzles were clever and all kept in with the theme so none broke immersion. Our host was incredible, controlling the servitor who gave helpful hints when needed! Truly an epic experience! While this didn’t spoil the experience I do feel it’s worth noting that there is no timer so it is hard to get a sense of how well you are progressing/how much time is left. I believe we did get a 10 minute message from our host though!

Amazing room, our first room using handcuffs too and the puzzles around us made full use of the fact we were restrained! Fully immersive too, we really loved this room and it is still one of our favourites even now! Really good test of communication too!

An amazing experience, the layout of this room still has us scratching our heads!! There are crawl spaces, a slide and more all packed into this room! Truly an excellent experience! One minor issue however was a puzzle that we figured out very quickly but found it difficult to make out numbers that appeared blurry.

Really enjoyable room, lots of fun and is fully themed from the ceiling to the floor throughout! Most puzzles logical however we did need a few nudges in the right direction! Some very cool and different puzzles! We really enjoyed the room and had so much fun! Sadly we encountered a number of tech/stray item problems: one of the puzzles in the final room had already “completed itself” so the pieces were already on the floor below which meant wasting time trying to complete the puzzle for nothing to happen. Magnetic releases in the final room were very temperamental also, having tried to open them the host gave us a hint to try again and we found varying degrees of success. Finally the biggest issue was the appearance of extra pieces during the final puzzle, some maths is involved to calculate the final combination which was way off due to the presence of the extra pieces! Overall we still had fun and will be back to try the other rooms, however it seemed like a lot of issues happened throughout our game!

Our favourite room here so far!!! Very much like a collection type game with lots of different puzzles to solve, we had great fun and some puzzles were very creative!! Can’t wait to come back for orbital!

Very well themed game, we found some of the first puzzles to be quite difficult and then sailed through the rest! Our host Ajay was great too, had us laughing and could tell he was watching us properly giving us hints when we needed! One issue with the Sheffield branch is that both for this room and when we previously played HughDunnit is that you often end up stood outside the front door waiting! However this didn’t take away from the great time we had here!

A very fun room, some really unique gadgets and the megavault itself was impressive and complex! Definitely best done as a two, I think for a larger group there wouldn’t be enough to do! The finale was really tense and exciting, partly due to the excellent atmosphere built up by the soundtrack!

Great room with some fun puzzles! Our host was absolutely superb and there was a decent level of theming throughout! Personally wasn’t a fan of the combination of astrology which was introduced around halfway with the original murder mystery, felt like a clash. Also had a bit of broken tech, with something needing a whack from us to open (as instructed by the host), and something laser related not activating at first.
Meltdown
The Lockup Escape Rooms

Very cool room, starting with team split requiring good co-operation! The room uses some actually chemistry in later puzzles too which is very unique and something I haven’t seen elsewhere! Main critique was repetition during one particular part of the room. Bonus objective was very well done too, needed a nudge in the right direction but we got it! Also Hovis the corgi is amazing.
