London Escape Rooms

List of the rooms we have reviewed in London (this includes Greater London). In date order from newest to oldest

Return of Old Maid Milly, Escape from the Room (Epsom)

Return of Old Maid Milly, Escape from the Room (Epsom)

This was our first post-lockdown physical escape room, and it was a good one. Escape from the Room have upped their game and we would have no problems recommending this room

25 July 2020 reviewed by Gord Tagged With: London, Team of Two

Eltham Escape Rooms: The Temple of the Lost Spirit (London)

Eltham Escape Rooms: The Temple of the Lost Spirit (London)

Eltham Escape Rooms have clearly upped their game in terms of set design with this room, aiming for full immersion, with an impressively decorated set and the more tactile puzzles, allowing the game to become a true adventure.

2 May 2020 reviewed by Liz Tagged With: London, Team of Two

Clue Adventures: Jet 2 Space (London)

Clue Adventures: Jet2Space (London)

Whether you’re an escape enthusiast or it’s your first time,  if you’re looking for a two-player game in London, or just looking for something a bit outside the norm for date night, you can’t go wrong with Jet 2 Space

14 February 2020 reviewed by Liz Tagged With: London, Team of Two

AIM Escape: Psychopath’s Den (London)

AIM Escape: Psychopath's Den (London)

Good set design and a mix of puzzles that has plenty to keep you going. We felt let down by our GM but if your GM is on the ball then you’re sure to enjoy your time in ‘the den’

2 February 2020 reviewed by Gord Tagged With: London, Team of Two

Escape Plan Ltd: Roll Out the Barrel (London)

Escape Plan Ltd: Roll Out the Barrel (London)

We loved Battle for Britain and although this room didn’t quite reach the greatness of that room, it’s a good room which we thoroughly enjoyed. Puzzles were logical, it was fun to be in, the ending was strong and the hosting was spot-on

31 January 2020 reviewed by Gord Tagged With: London, Team of Two

Escape Plan Ltd: The Adventure Begins (London)

Escape Plan Ltd: The Adventure Begins (London)

The Adventure Begins is a fantastic game with clever puzzles, a great set, and some really fun moments. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this room to teams that are trying to find their first escape room or to enthusiasts, particularly those that want to try their hand at their first room as a team of two.

31 January 2020 reviewed by Liz Tagged With: London, Team of Two

Access Escape: Dark Magik (London)

Access Escapes: Dark Magik (London)

The key selling point of this room is the darkness. Take that away and you’ll be disappointed. But as it is, it’s a room that’s worth doing just to really test yourself. Try it, you’ll be surprised. 

10 December 2019 reviewed by Gord Tagged With: London, Team of Two

Time Run Presents: Sherlock: The Game Is Now (London)

Time Run Presents: Sherlock: The Game Is Now (London)

This was a fun experience, but for us at least it wasn’t worth the money and was over-hyped. Sherlock enthusiasts will probably love it, escape room enthusiasts will probably find it like Marmite.

15 November 2019 reviewed by Gord Tagged With: London

Adventox: Mission X (London)

Adventox: Mission X (London)

Out of the three rooms at Adventox this is by far the weakest. Feeling tired and dated it could do with a bit of a revamp. Couple that with weak puzzles and it’s not a room we’ll be recommending unless you’re really desperate for that escape room fix.

23 September 2019 reviewed by Gord Tagged With: London

Adventox: Haunted – The Curse of Dr Stevens (London)

Adventox: Haunted - The Curse of Dr Stevens (London)

Tucked away in a mall overshadowed by Westfields, ‘Haunted’ by Adventox was our favourite room at this location. Solid set design and a fun flow – it’s worth checking out

23 September 2019 reviewed by Gord Tagged With: London

Adventox: Alcatraz (London)

Adventox: Alcatraz (London)

Alcatraz was a solid, enjoyable game, but it ultimately fell a bit flat for us. It’s tough to put a finger on exactly what it was; whether it was the ending in general, or just the fact that it wasn’t quite as much fun as their other room, ‘Haunted’

23 September 2019 reviewed by Liz Tagged With: London

Mission Breakout: The Lost Passenger (London)

Mission Breakout: The Lost Passenger (London)

Mission Breakout’s website proclaims their games to be the most immersive in London. While the set and integrated puzzles certainly lend weight to that claim, we don’t feel like we can agree

23 September 2019 reviewed by Liz Tagged With: London

Mission Breakout: Codebreakers (London)

Mission Breakout: Codebreakers (London)

This room promised a lot but ultimately fell flat in many areas. Perhaps one wow moment in the entire game but even that couldn’t help this room rank higher for us. 

19 September 2019 reviewed by Gord Tagged With: London

Escape Rooms: Room 33 (London)

Escape Rooms: Room 33 escape room (London)

This room won’t blow you away but if you want a solid room that will give you an hours entertainment, then this is that (added bonus: free sweets!)

6 June 2019 reviewed by Gord Tagged With: London, Team of Two

Eltham Escape Rooms: Keep Calm! (London)

Eltham Escape Rooms: Keep Calm! (London)

Enthusiasts shouldn’t struggle with this room and probably won’t find anything they haven’t seen before in terms of puzzles, but it’s worth doing if for no other reason than the final challenge.

28 April 2019 reviewed by Gord Tagged With: London, Team of Two

Escape Plan: Battle For Britain (London)

Escape Plan: Battle For Britain (London)

Do you ever put off doing something because you really want to do it but you feel that the expectation may not live up to the hype? That is why it has taken us so long to do Battle for Britain, now I wish we’d done it sooner!

12 April 2019 reviewed by Gord Tagged With: London

clueQuest: CQoriGENES (London)

ClueQuest: CQoriGENES

This room has almost everything I look for in an escape room: beautiful set design, clever puzzles, enough narrative to drive the game forward, and just a bit of humour

17 March 2019 reviewed by Liz Tagged With: London

Archimedes Inspiration: Project Delta (London)

Archimedes Inspiration: Project Delta (London)

AI Escapes are really going for full immersion with Project Delta, and have spent a lot of time to truly bring you into the world

1 February 2019 reviewed by Liz Tagged With: London

Epsom Escapes: Challenge Chambers (London)

Epsom Escapes: Challenge Chambers

Every single puzzle involved a padlock in one way or another, I don’t mind a good padlock but this took that to the extreme

12 January 2019 reviewed by Gord Tagged With: London

Omescape: The Penitentiary (London)

Omescape - The Penitentiary

Despite this room being a little creepy, it is in no way scary so I wouldn’t let that put you off.

9 January 2019 reviewed by Gord Tagged With: London

Operation Escape: WW2 Scoop of the Century (London)

If Operation Escape start taking feedback on board then I think they could have a chance at survival in an already tough market, if they don’t then I fear they won’t be around for much longer.

30 December 2018 reviewed by Gord Tagged With: London

Mostly Harmless Games: Phobos-17 (London)

I saw that Phobos-17 was closing down at the end of the year and as it had such positive reviews we just had to fit it in before it went, so we did.

18 December 2018 reviewed by Gord Tagged With: London

clueQuest: Operation Blacksheep (London)

Operation Blacksheep - ClueQuest

A slick operation with a solid room and good story to follow. Not cheap, but worth it.

17 December 2018 reviewed by Gord Tagged With: London

Clue Adventures: 2 Tickets 2 Ride (London)

What this room lacks in space it makes up for in fun. As soon as you’re in you’re working on puzzles, then you’re on the tube with more puzzles, then you’re off the tube with more puzzles, and just when you think you are done and home free, there’s another puzzles!

29 November 2018 reviewed by Gord Tagged With: London, Team of Two

Do Stuff Escape Games: Pie & Mash Shop (London)

Do Stuff Escape Games: Pie & Mash Shop (London)

A fun room, and one that may be a little easy for enthusiasts, a good challenge for beginners, but a great room to do regardless.

27 November 2018 reviewed by Gord Tagged With: London

ClueHQ Kingston: The Experiments (London)

ClueHQ Kingston, The Experiments

A mediocre room let down even more by a terrible GM.

10 November 2018 reviewed by Gord Tagged With: London

Omescape: The Joker (London)

Omescape: The Joker

Our first experience with Omescape and turning up at this dodgy looking building just north of King’s Cross did nothing to put our nerves at ease, entering the waiting room did even less for that!

8 November 2018 reviewed by Gord Tagged With: London

Clue Adventures: The Book of Secrets (London)

Clue Adventures: The Book of Secrets (London)

Despite the sheer volume of puzzles, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this game to newbies, provided they have a larger team. For enthusiasts, it’s a solid room and a good choice if you like a plethora of puzzles.

27 September 2018 reviewed by Liz Tagged With: London

Do Stuff Escape Games: Hostage Hideout (London)

Do Stuff Escape Games: Hostage Hideout (London)

This was a fun room and although basic at times it still has enough to keep you going, although I wouldn’t recommend playing with a large group

16 March 2018 reviewed by Gord Tagged With: London

Escape from the Room: The Curse of Old Maid Milly (Cheam)

Escape from the Room: The Curse of Old Maid Milly (Cheam)

For an enthusiast built room it is really rather good. OK, it isn’t as polished around the edges as some big money rooms but it works and is definitely still fun and worth doing.

28 January 2018 reviewed by Gord Tagged With: London

Escape from the Room: The Cabin in the Woods (Cheam)

Escape from the Room: The Cabin in the Woods (Cheam)

This room really has so much to keep you going, and such variety that there is no chance you’ll get bored. I really would have no hesitation in recommending this room to enthusiasts and beginners.

26 November 2017 reviewed by Gord Tagged With: London

Mystery Cube (London)

Mystery Cube (London)

Only a 15 minute walk from the Underground, on the Northern Line, and there is no way to describe it other than “Fun.” Do it. You won’t regret it.

19 May 2017 reviewed by Liz Tagged With: London

Handmade Mysteries: Poppa Plock’s Wonky Workshop (London)

Handmade Mysteries: Poppa Plock's Wonky Workshop (London)

Handmade Mysteries seem to take a dose of escape room and a pinch of theatre and blend them together to create something truly delectable.

30 April 2017 reviewed by Gord Tagged With: London

Lock’d: Perpetuum Mobile (London)

This room had promise, it really did but it failed in some key areas that really let it down and means we have no desire of going back and doing any more rooms at Lock’d. 

13 February 2016 reviewed by Gord Tagged With: London

Handmade Mysteries: Lady Chastity’s Reserve (London)

Handmade Mysteries: Lady Chastity's Reserve

How can you fit so much fun into such a small space?! A great in character GM and a bottle of wine to boot, made this room a winner for us!

30 January 2016 reviewed by Gord Tagged With: London

Secret Studio: Escape in Time! (London)

Secret Studio: Escape in Time! (London)

It’s true what they say, you never forget your first, and fortunately for us that was ‘Escape in time’. A really solid game with some very memorable moments.
