Really great room. Did it in a group of 2, if you weren’t experienced you may be better to do it in a bit bigger group as it had lots of challenging but fun puzzles to solve. Super immersive and set up looked exactly like a creepy cabin. The story line had great flow and exciting twists. Our games master, Liam, was super fun and helpful. Makes me keen to do all the rooms at Cipher.

A really cohesive room, everything was on theme and puzzles flowed one to the next. The puzzles were on the easier side, all mechanical, but there was very little downtime.

A very well executed room, but not particularly novel.

Really well themed, but much more puzzle than story.

Might be a little confronting for younger kids. Not overly gory or graphic, but definitely dark and morbid.

Great set design. The puzzles were all linked to the room theme. Flow was good with a nice personal touch to the ending.

Another impressive room by Cipher, with a clever and personal ending. A smorgasbord of puzzles could be found in this room- from searching to physical to tactile - there’s something for everyone. If you’re looking for horror/scary you won’t find it in this room. It’s only spooky/creepy in theme (just the way I like it though!!!)

‘The Cabin’ is a thoroughly enjoyable escape room with a wonderful collection of puzzles. Known for their stunning set design, The Cipher Room cleverly maximise their use of the space within ‘The Cabin’s footprint. It truly feels as though you are exploring a rustic cabin, complete with worn-down wooden flooring and rusting corrugated iron walls and roof. ‘The Cabin’ is only spooky in theme — the experience itself isn’t scary or startling in any way. With a few surprising twists and turns along the way, the puzzle flow in ‘The Cabin’ was a standout. It felt as though we always knew which puzzle to tackle next and that flow was incredibly satisfying. An abandoned cabin — or one belonging to a serial killer — isn’t an uncommon escape room theme, but The Cipher Room has delivered the best example I’ve experienced to date.
