Be careful what you wish for An Englishman's home is his castle. Or his curio if he's a treasure hunter who's spent a lifetime collecting trinkets from all four corners of the globe. Alexander Curio was a true eccentric. A legendary explorer who left no stone unturned in his search for gems and gimcracks. To him, life was a gamble, with fate to be decided on a whim or a flip of a coin. A mysterious loner who loved to raise the stakes until they could be raised no higher. Alexander's life was one big puzzle. Only a select few ever got beyond his front door. You're about to join their exclusive ranks. At first glance, Curio looks like the home of an explorer whose passion for chasing treasures has taken him from the Thames to Timbuktu. But the clue lies in the name. Secrets lie within her seemingly innocent walls and trinkets hold the key to untold riches. Fortune favours the brave but riches come at a price. Who is the man behind the enigma? Was his death the result of some cruel, cosmic irony? And does he really want to share the treasures hidden away within the labyrinth he calls home? This is no ordinary home. Alexander is anything but an ordinary man. Now he's inviting you into his world. But once you enter, there's no going back

This room is unlike any that I have played. Such an intelligent use of space with innovative design. I really loved it. I wish the aesthetic of the room was as elevated as the game play. It’s a shame to have such a great room have such minimal effort into the visuals. That being said I was still very impressed.
Genuinely excellent really exciting and unpredictable.
The immersion was fine but they could really bring this side of the experience up to match the concept and the puzzles.
Great team, even showed us how the mechanics worked after.

Perhaps the room was slightly overhyped by other enthusiasts and a bit poorly aged / badly ran but we left this room a bit disappointed. The core element was still pretty special and unique, but it definitely felt like it needed a revamp

An ambitious and clever room but the puzzles within it didn't flow allowing for a very stop start and frustrating experience at times

This is an amazing room, one of our top 10 favourites and we’ve done a fair few. We loved everything about it, the design is totally unique and still has us wondering, in awe, about some of it. Make sure to listen carefully at the briefing as this helps gameplay where some may have struggled but we just found the whole experience superb. It all made sense and many parts are really really clever. Loved every minute of this room and would say is a must play for anyone that has done over, say, 10 rooms. This venue has a dedicated host throughout your game so you are never overlooked and we found ours perfect, not over feeding even if we took a while which made our escape all the more satisfying.

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.
Some very cool puzzles, however they did not flow and there was a lack of signposting. I think this mainly is what makes the room difficult.
Very well themed, fully immersive
Hosts attitude off, felt like they were not watching/listening to us in the room

The best escape room we’ve done to date! So unique and spent most the afternoon afterwards talking about it. As a 2 there’s a lot to do but different games and puzzles we’d never seen before. So close to getting out, gutted!!
