Torquay

After doing perpetual motion, I was more mentally prepared on the challenging array of puzzles that Elude offers. The set design for this room is absolutely incredible and not even a single bit of space is wasted. Every part of the room has a purpose and it is clearly shown through design of the game. Puzzles are very thematic to the room and how you use items are inferred heavily by how you would use these items in real life!

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the Torquay escape room, and I can confidently say it was an unforgettable adventure. Our hosts, Julia and Darren, were gracious and welcoming, setting a positive tone from the very beginning. Their passion for the game was evident, especially during the engaging debrief we had after our escape. The room itself was beautifully themed, showcasing the meticulous craftsmanship of true enthusiasts. Every detail was thoughtfully designed, immersing us in the experience. The puzzles were challenging and unlike anything my usual team of two had encountered before, pushing us to think outside the box. One puzzle, in particular, stood out as pure magic when we finally cracked it—it was a real highlight of the experience! Although we needed a bit of bonus time to complete the room, we left feeling incredibly satisfied and accomplished. We’re already looking forward to our next visit to try out the other rooms and are excited to see what future plans Julia and Darren have in store. If you’re a fan of escape rooms, I highly recommend Torquay for a memorable and challenging adventure!

After failing an escape room for the first time with Framed, we had lunch and came back to tackle the slightly easier Torquay — and failed again! What a humbling experience. Torquay is an absolutely beautiful room with some fantastic props and the most incredible puzzles of any room I've done to date. Such an astonishing array of challenges that stretch the limits of not just your brains but also your senses. Despite failing to finish, we had a fabulous time and can't wait to come back to try their other rooms. Elude's rooms are easily among the best in the country. Definitely worth a visit or two or three!

Walking into Torquay, I couldn't help but mutter to myself, "Wow." This room is absolutely beautiful, and without giving anything away, you must play this room to experience how truly gorgeous this room is. Fresh off playing Perpetual Motion, which we thought was challenging, Torquay definitely ramps it up again. Darren and Julia gave us a heads-up that we needed to be on our A-game to tackle the numerous puzzles in Torquay. The puzzles were challenging, unique, varied, and fun. More than once, we encountered puzzle elements we had not seen used anywhere else, which is rare these days. Thanks to subtle signposting, we were able to focus more on solving the numerous puzzles rather than figuring out which combination or answer went where. With a bit of bonus time added—something we greatly appreciated as it allowed us to savor our sense of accomplishment—we managed to get through this beautiful room. Julia met us afterward and spent a lot of time with us in our debrief, discussing the room, their future plans, and escape rooms in general. We loved this and will definitely be back.

A bright breezy room with some unique features. Quite a few locks so you'll need to find Torquay.
