The UK Escape Room Blog
It’s hard to compare this to the first game we played at Secret Studio as it’s been a while, and that one was our first. However, The Emerald Phantom is a fun game and still has those lovely little touches that make it part of the Secret Studio experience.
Something a little different Play The Brig escape room in Salisbury at our 14th century venue in The Cross Keys. This game can be played on its own with up to 5 players or as part of a versus escape experience for 4-11 people. Captured by the East India Trading Company you and your pirate […]
We’d been looking forward to The Basement ever since it opened, and it didn’t disappoint. Ok our time in this game was short, but we loved every minute of it. Was it better than The Cabin? I don’t know. But was it a worthy sequel? Hell yes.
The team behind Hysteria and Unsolved Mysteries are lovely people and they produce solid games. Citizen Erased is another fun game that gave us a welcome distraction from the real world. Play on a hot day and you may get a tad toasty, but whatever the weather, if you play this game you are sure to have a good time.
There aren’t many games we have quit on while still having time to solve remaining puzzles, but this is one of them. It left a very sour taste in our mouths and unfortunately, I think reminded us why we don’t usually visit the ‘Escape’ venues. This game promised a lovely fairytale-like word, instead it was like we were in an odd home/office.
Radio Nowhere can’t really be classed as an ‘escape room’, or not in my eyes anyway. It has a couple of puzzles but it’s perhaps closer to what I hear Jubensha is – kinda like a live-action whodunnit where the whole purpose is to piece together the information you need. Some people will love it, some probably not so much.
The mission with this game is to identify the guilty party, and I can 100% say that we would have failed this without Liz. I am terrible at story but fortunately Liz seemed to know what was going on – phew. Not the most challenging of games but still no less fun. I’m glad we left this game to last as it was nice to finish on a game that was just good clean fun.
This game has so much potential. It’s a big space, with good puzzles and some fun moments, but for me it needed a bit more atmosphere and I feel like they should have pushed harder on the ghostbusters connection (copyright allowing of course).
A creepy experience but certainly not full on horror. The puzzles in Doll’s House, and all the items we found felt like they fitted the theme nicely. Again, nothing ground-breaking from Locked In Glasgow, but still a fun experience and worth playing if you’re in the area.
There’s no getting around it, this would be a good game for beginners or families and probably not overly challenging for enthusiasts. Saying that, it’s still a fun game and it has its moments.
