It was a long time ago that we played the precursor to The Tomb 2, The Tomb (original naming), and I’d say this game was an improvement on the first. Great set design, good immersion, and fun puzzles (well all except one)

Escape Rooms Cardiff: The 13th Floor (Cardiff)
If you’re in the mood for a little Tower of Terror nostalgia, this game may just be the one for you. With spot on theming, satisfying puzzles, and just a hint of theatricality, The 13th Floor is another great addition to the games already on offer at Escape Rooms Cardiff
The Reading Witch: Deadlocked (Reading)
Deadlocked have upped their game and The Reading Witch had that feeling of horror games we’ve played in Athens and Amsterdam. Ok, the space is much smaller but they used it well and the live action element takes it to the next level. I can’t say that this is the scariest horror game in the UK, but is it the best horror escape room in the UK? Possibly.
Knockout Escape Rooms: Dirty Money (Reading)
I’ve visited plenty of laundrettes in my life, but I think this might be the first time I’ve ever actually had fun trying to escape from one. Dirty Money is another excellent addition to the already fantastic games available to play at Knockout, and in Reading in general, especially for fans of a more traditional escape experience
Puzzled: Abandon Ship (Taff’s Well)
I think Puzzled could be a little hidden gem in the Valleys. We’ll certainly be keeping an eye out and are looking forward to going back to play their new games when they open.
Wake Up!: Questomatica (Amsterdam)
Do I regret playing this game? No. Do I regret making it our last game in Amsterdam? Yes. Wake Up! wasn’t a bad game, it just doesn’t stand a chance with the other games on offer. If you’re desperate for a game, or perhaps a warm up game, then it’s not a terrible choice. But for the money, there are better options available.
Logic Locks: The Amsterdam Catacombs (Amsterdam)
The Amsterdam Catacombs was perhaps ahead of its time. And while other experiences have cropped up in recent years, stealing some of its thunder, the fact remains that it is still a fantastic experience that’s worth a visit if you find yourself in Amsterdam
Escape the Past: The Anatomist (Edinburgh)
The Anatomist is one of those games that you could probably class as a ‘traditional’ escape room. It probably won’t blow you away, but it’s likely to give you a good time and help you feel like you’ve lived some of Edinburgh’s ‘darker’ history. There aren’t a huge amount of games in Edinburgh, but if you’re looking for games to play while you’re in the city, then this isn’t a bad shout.
DarkPark: The End (Zoetermeer)
From the beginning, straight through to, well, the end, The End was nothing like what I expected, and delightfully twisty. DarkPark themselves describe The End as a mix of escape room and immersive theatre, and honestly, I can’t think of a better way to describe it
Down the Hatch: Molly’s Game (Voorburg)
It’s easy to see why Molly’s Game has received so much praise since its opening: The game is beautiful, there’s really no other way to put it. I found it to be a satisfying fusion of story and puzzles, all wrapped up in an absolutely breath-taking set
Mama Bazooka: The Dome (Bunschoten-Spakenburg)
The best way to describe The Dome would be to call it a spectacle. And I’m inclined to think that’s the reason this game has been considered by escape room enthusiasts to be one of the top three games in the world for the last five years. However, taste is subjective
