“Fantastic room. We both loved it and really liked the puzzles which were original and in keeping with the theme. A great mix which were all superbly, subtly signposted and what we absolutely loved was the confirmation message whenever a clue was verbally correctly noted - very clever as saves any issues with padlocks or wasted time repeatedly attempting the wrong code. This game was still a challenge so felt great to compete just in time. Strongly recommend this room and venue with excellent hosts, clueing being only when really stuck, and lovely people”

“We really enjoyed this room, plenty to do as a team of 2 which took us right up to the time limit. Some different puzzles we've never seen before, and really refreshing to be in what felt like a one off custom built room from an independent room maker. Great hosting, and great rooms all around here, would definitely recommend and comfrotably in our top 5 favourite rooms.”

“Another great room here. All three rooms are vastly different, but each has its charm and all are a blast to play. This was probably the toughest, but more than doable when you work together and work through the puzzles calmly. Great set design and puzzle flow with a great clue/hint system to let you know you're on the right lines. Can highly recommend.”

“The GM was really friendly and gave us hints just when we needed them! This room is really pretty and has some fun puzzles themed around it. I really want to go back to try their other games! If you’re in Birmingham looking for a room to do I 100% recommend this one! If I was to note anything the building has a lot of stairs and the room can be a bit physical, just something to think about if you have mobility issues.”

“We did this one separately and with different people and different years and all enjoyed. All the rooms are simply superb at Brum. This one has a nice feel of a story to it and the puzzles are in keeping and make sense. We recommend doing all the rooms here”

“My partner and I had so much fun playing this room. We finished the main goal with plenty of time to hunt for coins. I loved the side quest of coin gathering and think that element would be what would appeal to enthusiasts - there’s plenty to do! The set and theming was lovely. The story here felt less central than some rooms but our goal was clear. This room was just solid fun from start to finish. We used up our whole hour too which I love!! My partner has only done around 20 rooms but placed this as one of his favourites.”

How Do Escape Rooms Work?
Remember those point-and-click adventure games where you’re locked in a room and have to solve puzzles to find the key and escape? Those online games were the original inspiration for the live escape rooms you’ll find all across the world today. An escape room is an immersive experience where you (and your team of 2 or more people) are locked in a room with a series of puzzles for 60 minutes. To escape and win the game, you have to look for clues, solve the puzzles, and find the key. While most escape rooms only give you 60 minutes to complete the challenge, others may have shorter or longer time limits. Many venues are private rooms where you and your team are the only players. However, some places may pair you with other groups who booked a slot at the same time. And don’t worry about getting stuck, asking for hints on a difficult puzzle is totally normal. While the original escape room (created by SCRAP in 2007) had a fairly simple aesthetic, today’s escape games often take you into a different world. Artistic set designs, secret doors, and unique interactive elements are all part of the fun. It’s like an adventure game that you can interact with in real life. But if you’re hoping to preview any rooms before you book a game somewhere, detailed images and videos can be hard to find. To keep the puzzles a secret and preserve the experience of seeing the room for the first time, most venues only offer a few photos or a short trailer about the room’s theme or narrative. The only way to know what it’s like is to go and try it for yourself!
