Doctor Who: A Dalek AwakensEscape Hunt - London Oxford StreetEscape roomIRLThe puzzles don’t have a particularly good flow but there were some that were fun. None too hard or especially new and some did drag out slightly. Overall not one of their best rooms but good.
Aladdin & The Magic VaultEscape Hunt - London Oxford StreetEscape roomIRLReally cool room some of it was quite easy but great theme and some different puzzles
IAMAIclueQuestEscape roomIRLWe went as part of an opening vip weekend so we got to talk to the creators and hear all about how the room was made which was really cool. We were a group of 5 but there’s so much to do and the room is so big I wouldn’t recommend any less than that we finished five mins late. Even a few more people would be great. It’s a 72 min room rather than 60 which was needed. There is the cutest robot as well and the puzzles were so different to anything I’ve seen before. It’s a really really cool room definitely recommend for larger groups
Escape The Wild WestEscape Hunt - London Oxford StreetEscape roomIRLSadly this was the first room we haven’t escaped within an hour but our GM was nice enough to let us keep going finish a minute over. There was one puzzle that took far too long and wasn’t at all intuitive and nothing in the room hinted at what to do. There were some very cool puzzles but that one puzzle kind of put a dampener on it. So much going on so we could have used a few more people but overall great roomAll well themed and cool decorations, the staff are so friendly too
Blackbeard’s TreasureEscape Hunt - London Oxford StreetEscape roomIRLTheir Alice one is better but this was still a good room. Nothing too innovative or new but cool set design and a few puzzles we’d never seen before. Not many padlocks and mostly automatic. There was one puzzle that I didn’t really enjoy but other than that one it was a good room, quite hard for beginners though.
Alice In PuzzlelandEscape Hunt - London Oxford StreetEscape roomIRLReally amazing room. Such a cool concept with unique puzzles. I can’t even explain how amazing the set was it was so fitting for Alice in wonderland
Wizarding School: Fang of the Serpent - CLOSEDBreakin' Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLAMAZING. THEIR BEST ONE. There are some very cool puzzles I’d never seen anything like and of course some regular ones but overall just amazing. We were told to save this one for last if we were doing all of them and it was 1000% worth it. We got it for free from a loyalty scheme they have but if you just go to breakin one time definitely do this one. The staff are always so lovely and helpful here are props to take photos with after the room
Butcher’s Lair - CLOSEDBreakin' Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLThe staff are amazing. The room is one of their easier ones but still very enjoyable and hard at times. Great atmosphere, the set and props are great too
Joker’s Trap - CLOSEDBreakin' Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLIt was great but very hard. Not the best for pairs but for a small-medium group it would be amazing. The staff are amazing every time
The Flying Dutchman - CLOSEDBreakin' Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLBreakin’s escape rooms are always great. They’re so friendly and welcoming and the rooms themselves are well decorated. We definitely enjoyed this one. There was one puzzle which I wasn’t a big fan of but overall a good experience.
Heist Plan - CLOSEDBreakin' Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLGreat experience. There was one step which dragged on for a little too long but otherwise it was fun. I’ve done 3 of their rooms so far and they’ve been amazing. The staff are so welcoming and friendly. They greet you after and take a photo with props for the specific room which is nice.
Underground 2099Mission: BreakoutEscape roomIRLThe location is amazing, the disused tube station looks very cool. The puzzles were ok. Nothing too original or complicated. Our GM was great, she reassured us whenever our younger teammates got scared and gave good hints when necessary. DO NOT GO IF YOUR SCARED OF RATS. There’s someone dressed up as a rat and may chase you if you don’t close doors
Inventor’s Odyssey Through TimeEnigma Quests - HolbornEscape roomIRLFun but not very challenging. It’s all set in this one room as you travel through time and it changes slightly which is really cool but a warning for anyone who gets motion sickness because the time travel machine spins and made us feel quite nauseous
Submarine: Mission Wavebreak - CLOSEDEnigma Quests - ShoreditchEscape roomIRLNo locks so no “oh we found a code we have to try on all the padlocks” much more technical. Not overly complicated but still challenging at times
The Million Pound Heist - CLOSEDEnigma Quests - ShoreditchEscape roomIRLVery different setup to other escape rooms, the goal isn’t to escape it’s to steal the most money. Sadly we missed one thing that was hidden very well but it was a lot of fun and many different kinds of puzzles
Alpha Brain SystemclueQuest - Print+Cut+EscapeEscape roomTabletopa lot of folding and fiddly parts but good story and good puzzles
Stolen IQclueQuest - Print+Cut+EscapeEscape roomTabletopa lot of cutting needed but very good overall
