The Battle for Britain

8/10 Really fun, nontraditional escape room. You escape by points earned, we had a fun time dividing the tasks. Something for everyone :)

A non traditional room, instead of escaping a room, you need to find your way into the operations center of the RAF, and strategically plan to save London from air raids. It’s great to do escape rooms set in the city where you play and Escape Plan does a great job of this with their rooms. Their game masters are professional and helpful, great about setting the stage for the game, and nice to talk with before and after.

Allie our game master was fantastic, very enthusiastic and added a lot to the experience. The room was great, very emmersive and the control table really added to the experience

Battle for Britain is my favorite escape room in London and I like it so much, I've actually done it twice, albeit over six years apart (once at the old location and once with an escape-room loving friend in the current location). None of the puzzles use technology that wasn't available during the time period the room is set in. The puzzles are lovely, very well done and the fact that you are trying to stop as many aerial attacks as possible (as opposed to linearly advancing through a room) gives the room a very different feel.

For our WWII History buffs in our group, this room was a top room. The equipment in it creates a WOW moment (and some really fun photos at the end in uniform). They also do a lot in a relatively small space. Also enjoyed the first room with some creative puzzles. The big ending is extremely rewarding and only adds to the game play. Game master was lovely and so friendly. Highly recommend this especially for history buffs in London. Also, it was challenging but not too hard. So families with older kids could definitely enjoy this.

This is one of my all time favorite rooms. I had so much fun! The room starts as a more traditional and linear escape room, but the second room is filled with a TON of mini puzzles and a unique scoring system. We did it with two (experienced) people, but think the room could support 3-4 players. Everything was super well themed, and the game flowed well. Out gamemaster was fun and enthusiastic to boot! Highly highly recommend doing this room if you are in London!

Really loved this room (along with The Adventure Begins). The rooms are built more around incredibly satisfying puzzles and gameplay than they are around FX and flashiness, and they make great use of practical, tactile elements (which also feel thematically fitting with the WWII settings). Our game master, Sarah, was also wonderful.

Great room with lots to do. Lots of unique puzzles and really well thought out. Amazing GM (thanks Allie!)

Top notch room, highly recommended.

Had an absolute blast in this room. There was so much going on at once and everything made complete sense. We needed a lot of help from Sam, partly because we were a twosome and partly because we were just not clicking sometimes (our fault, not the clues’!) and Sam was absolutely amazing, chiming in at exactly the right points and allowing us to experience everything within the time limit.
