Astro Quest

Brilliant and engaging, well maintained, not too hard or too easy. in my opinion, a perfect room.

The game was fun and had neat puzzles, but was very worn. It needs some TLC.

Fantastic room, possibly my favourite in Escape Rooms Cardiff! The theming and set design is wonderful, some lovely surprises and technical features.

Going way back, but we did this room just after it reopened post-Covid. There were a lot of technical issues but the staff were super helpful and did let us do another room for free afterwards because of the issues. The puzzles themselves were cool, the design was fun. Would recommend, even though we had issues

Loved this one! Super cool designs and sounds!

We were all hit by a wave of nostalgia as we entered the retro-themed kids’ bedroom that makes up the first part of Astro Quest. It was like being thrown back into our childhoods. We were mesmerised by the many familiar items dotted around the bedroom: an old game console, posters of 80s/90s blockbuster films (Ghostbusters, Jurassic Park), a Thunderbirds toy and a lava lamp. The puzzles in this room were really fun and creative, fully making use of the retro theme. I was particularly fond of one that utilised a book collection identical to one I owned as a child. The mechanism for unlocking the path forward was also a magical and thrilling moment. We shot through the bedroom portion of the game very quickly, before being magically transported onto a spaceship. The theming, as we’ve come to expect from ERC’s rooms, was fantastic. Neon lights, mechanical doors and a control room with various screens and panels. There was a mix of linear and non-linear puzzles that utilised all of our different skill sets; communication was key. A task involving wires nearly tore the team apart, but we pulled together and raced to the end. All-in-all, it took us 39 minutes to escape, which we were extremely happy with! Astro Quest is a solid room full of heart and wonder. It’s retro theming ramped up our nostalgia, before transporting us to space for the second half of the mission. We left the room grinning from ear to ear, and ultimately, what better review is there for an experience than a huge smile?

My first escape room and it’s still my favourite, gameplay flowed excellently, the plot twist at the end I loved, very high-tech and thrilling!

My husband and I did this room and it's our favourite we did, I highly recommend you try this one out!

Definitely a wow moment and some great theming, let down a little by a few unsatisfying puzzles

Cool room, love the design. Loved the theme!
