Escape From AlcatrazHoudini's GloucesterEscape roomIRLHost was friendly and just the right amount of helpful with time checks etc. Nothing in the room was broken, though an early statement by him was a bit of a misdirection! We were granted this one for free after having an awful session previously in the Hexmore room, this one was much much better.
The Betrayal of CluetankhamunClue HQ MalvernEscape roomIRLGreat Egyptian themed room. Quite small, and requires one member of the party to crawl into an even smaller space (you are warned about this on booking) so avoid if you're all claustrophobic. Decent level of difficulty, with timely messages from the game master via typed clues on a computer screen announced by a thunderclap. Staff were lovely. Mostly padlock based, though a decent variety of types (3 digit, 4 digit, 5 digit, key and directional). What was great is how on theme it was - lots of statuettes and Egypt themed props. We had fun (2 adults, 2 teens) and would recommend!
Hexmore School Of Witchcraft & WizardryHoudini's GloucesterEscape roomIRLBroken torch, room not correctly reset, broken candles, broken & malfunctioning picture frames (two out of three), broken drawer knobs found on floor (turns out the drawers aren't meant to open anyway!), a puzzle solution that didn't match the clues given, and a staff member with zero charisma who you couldn't hear over the background noise. Downstairs was filthy, covered in rubbish, noisy, the staff were ill-informed and not helpful, and they only put puzza topping in the middle of the pizza and make you share 1 between 2 if you've booked an 'escape room plus pizza' deal
