Excape: The Vault (Exmouth)
This game was a surprising hit for us. Perhaps it’s because we went in with low expectations, but the recommendation was a good one and we had fun breaking into yet another vault. Decent set design, an adrenaline filled ending, and lovely hosting made our time in The Vault a fun one.
Stuck in the Riddle: Test Run (Huddersfield)
The description for this game describes a ‘frantic hour of puzzling’, and that’s exactly what it is. This is a game that will appeal to enthusiasts as the aim is not to get out quickly, but to solve as many puzzles as possible.
Escapable: Outatime (Wakefield)
If you’re a fan of a certain 1985 film that features a DeLorean, a teen in a red gilet, and a doc, then look no further, you’ve found the room for you. Fun puzzles, a lovely set, and an ending that is one you’re sure to remember for a long time.
Escapable: Avast (Wakefield)
Our time in Avast was short, but enjoyable. This is probably the easiest of the games at Escapable but that would make it good for beginners. Even then, I think enthusiasts would still have a good time.
Enigma Rooms Wakefield: Escape from Wonderland (Wakefield)
Escape from Wonderland is a fun game full of whimsy. Although not overly taxing, the puzzles were enjoyable and satisfying to solve. We were apprehensive about playing at Enigma as it’s part of a (small) chain, but those fears were not warranted and it felt more like an independent venue.
The Best Escape Rooms in the UK in 2024
For many people December is all about one thing, Christmas. But for those of us who are perhaps a tad addicted to escape rooms we get an early Christmas present each year, the (Top Escape Rooms Project Enthusiast Choice Awards) TERPECAs. If you’re not aware of what the TERPECAs are then you’ve been missing out, […]
Escaparium: Magnifico’s Circus (Montreal)
The word “circus” has become synonymous with the word “spectacle”, and Magnifico’s Circus was certainly spectacular on a level unlike anything I have encountered in an escape room before. I actually have no words to describe just how truly beautiful this game is, and it is something that absolutely must be experienced to believe.
Escaparium: The Forgotten Cathedral (Montreal)
I was going through my notes for this game and the words that seem to be repeated are ‘immersion’, ‘theatrics’ and ‘wow’, and to be honest that would sum up this review perfectly. Just play it, and be amazed.
Escaparium: Wardrobe for Sale (Montreal)
Wardrobe for Sale is utterly charming, and as deep as it is whimsical. There is a reason it was named the 7th best game in the world in 2023. And after spending the time investigating it, I will unequivocally say, yes, I would like to buy the wardrobe for sale.
Escaparium: The Lost Island of the Voodoo Queen (Montreal)
I love a pirate game, I’m not ashamed to admit that. This could possibly be my favourite pirate game that I’ve ever played. The puzzles, audio, GM, atmosphere and game design all pulled together to create a wonderful experience. Every little detail had been considered and perfected to ensure that nothing felt out of place – even the ending… ESPECIALLY the ending.
