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!
Thank you for your lovely review, we are pleased you enjoyed Torquay and experienced some different puzzles and got your thinking. We truly appreciate your kind words and are very delighted to have made your day such a good experience with both rooms.

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.

Well we certainly got the response we wanted from anyone walking into Torquay. Check! We are pleased you did Perpetual Motion first it got you warmed up and helps you to understand how we think to be able to tackle this room. Pleased you liked to subtle signposting. Check! We would prefer to give you a few extra puzzles to solve than waste time on that. It was lovely to chat to you all after the room and go through it in full detail. Catch up soon.

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