PLAN52 is one of our top secret locations and a fortress for highly classified archives and data. However, something terrible has happened: four of our agents who were stationed there have vanished without a trace. We now have proof that this was the work of Professor BlackSheep who had help from a clueQuest insider.

I did enjoy the game, a totally pleasant experience. There was nothing ‘stand out’ about the design. I had heard lots about the venue before we came and was expecting a lot. I think it was probably top of its game around 10 years ago but now feels like it need an injection of something new.
Gameplay
We played as a group of enthusiasts so there was a fair amount to sink our teeth into.
Atmosphere
The room presents well in the story that you’re given. Not the most exciting set but appropriate. The room is showing its age though, the up keep doesn’t feel as if it’s been looked after for a while.

Story
I like that all the rooms are linked. It made me feel like we could play all the games and only get a greater understanding of the story.

Hi! Thanks for saving the world with us! You are correct that PLAN52 is our oldest/longest running escape room and the puzzles have remained pretty much the same since it opened in 2013 (despite a complete visual overhaul in terms of the set). It's actually the longest running room in the UK so you've been a part of a little 'Escape Room' history by visiting. I would recommend trying our cQ:Origenes mission to see a more stand-out theme for a room. You're still on a top secret mission for the enigmatic Mr Q, but that room as a (near)-unique set design/setup our enthusiast guests tend to really enjoy. Feel free to reach out to us at escape@clueQuest.co.uk if you want to give any additional feedback/discuss things further! Over-n-out!

A good spy escape room, a lot to do, though personally not worth the price they charge

Some puzzles were broken, they did not hamper us completing the room, but after they gave us free fridge magnets to compensate

Slightly harder than operation blacksheep, a good option for moderately experienced gamers who enjoy a bit of head scrstching. Well themed with some novel mechanical elements. Nice mix of puzzles, not all are easy to find

A great fun classic escape room. I love the fact that they have changed it up to make it more modern. This is ClueQuests oldest room, but it is still a lot of fun! Highly reccomed all rooms here!
