You’ve only gone and bagged yourself the bargain of the century! Amongst a pile of tat you bought for a fiver at the local car-boot, you found an extremely rare diamond… cushty! There is just one small problem… While borrowing your van for the evening, your dipstick brother only went and parked on double yellows – now the van’s been towed away, with the diamond in the glove box! There’s only one thing for it, you’re going to have to wait ‘til dark, break into the tow company’s premises and retrieve the diamond, before someone else gets their mitts on it! What a PLONKER!

6 escape rooms

Absolutely loved the escape room, was super fun, really stayed on topic/theme the entire game and so many surprises along the way! Thoroughly enjoyed it, and so gutted we only needed a few more minutes to escape the final puzzle! Very well throughout and great escape room to try!

Gameplay

Incredibly well thought out game, the level of skill was amazing, thorough enjoyed having to think in depth about each section.

Atmosphere

Great Atmosphere, props were impressive with many surprises along the way. The set design was perfect, felt very real and in the moment you forgot it’s just a game

Customer service

The staff were incredible, very informative, helped us with clues immediately when needed and when we didn’t escape (only a few mins off finishing) she was amazing at explaining the final part we got too and praising us on how well we did.

Particularly interesting or different

Yes

Very interesting, full of surprises along the way

Story

Great storyline, everything fitted perfectly to the theme

Difficulty

Hard

It was hard, but we felt really confident going through it once we started, and had a few hints we really got into the roll of it

Game tech

High tech

Incredible additions of tech, with sounds, alarms & physical interaction

Ideal number of players

3

I believe if we had a 3rd person we would have completed it as we got stuck on one puzzle for a while, an additional person could have carried on doing other bits. However we were only minutes off completing it, so can be done with 2 people

Scary

Not scary

Not scary at all, a little jumpy for someone who doesn’t like interaction during an escape room, but it made it more interesting and really got you into the mood of the game with someone coming in to try and catch you out.

Minimum age

12

I believe my 10 year old would have been able to add in some support in a room like this, but would have heavily needed adult support. Would say recommended for 12+

Was anything broken?

No

All set up perfectly, no damage or issues what so ever! Very well looked after escape room

Live actors

Yes

Included a live action actor trying to catch you mid break in.

Physically active

Somewhat

Somewhat physical movement needed to move between rooms but nothing straining or exhausting

Easy to find location

Yes

Very easy to find

Parking

Easy

Lovely carpark space

Safety

Yes

Felt very safe within the room we were in, everything was secure, safely placed props and items and deep in depth safety convo before hand of do’s and don’t’s to keep us safe during the room session

7 escape rooms

Overall we were happy with the room, the immersive environment and a super warm welcome. The room was well constructed and offered a great variety of different puzzles. Although we didnt get out, which is very unlike us we got enough pleasure to want to go back and do the rest of their rooms. One down side was it felt like there was alot to do across the room in the alotted time because we had accessed 3 separate rooms and decoded probably the best part of 20-30+ puzzles and when the host explained what was left when we hadn’t escaped, i would suggest we would have needed at least a further 20mins. There is a few very small changes i would suggest to allow puzzles to flow easier or hit those little triggers without requiring hints. We learnt this was their lowest escape rate room suggesting it is their hardest. But this aside, it was honestly overall a great experience. Ide give the room a solid 7/10 and would recommend anyone to give it ago themselves. We will be returning that’s for sure!

Gameplay

The room itself was enjoyable with good story and an immersive feel with great character interactions.

Atmosphere

The atmosphere put you right in the middle of the scene and the rooms felt right to the proposed environment.

Customer service

Game master was a real joy, played a character well, super welcoming and gave us plenty of time to talk afterwards and was a pleasure to have as our GM.

Story

Story was well and fit the scene.

Hi, thank you for taking the time to review "You Plonker", I'm glad you enjoyed the game. This is one of our hardest rooms, but that being said, the room has been completed in under 25 minutes by a team of 3 and with zero hints. There have been numerous Escapes in under 30 minutes. As for the number of puzzles, whilst it may have felt like you had done a lot more, there are only 18 puzzles in the entire game. We look forward to hosting you again in the future.
