“Fantastic! A little harder than their other room with plenty to do - a lot of non-linear puzzles so players could crack on with different things and always have something to do. Great hosting and clue system, and a nice mix of locks and more hi tech puzzles. Excellently themed and fantastically designed, loved it!”

“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”

“Great game and great GM. The GM was involved in our game in a way that other GM’s haven’t been before. At first we thought we had been given a lot of clues but on reflection we hadn’t, what had happened was that the GM became part of the game which was great.”

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!
