Cornwall’s Great Escape Rooms: Fractured Fairytales (Helston)

Published: 1 January 2023

Cornwall's Great Escape Rooms: Fractured Fairytales (Helston)

This game is arguably on the easier side and experienced teams will likely fly through it. But as a stop-over game, or a family game, it’s probably set just right. The set design was lovely, the puzzles made sense, and it made for a fun (albeit short) experience.

Escape Time: Prison X (St Ives)

Published: 1 January 2023

Escape Time: Prison X (St Ives)

Prison X was pretty much your standard prison escape type of game, but with a slight twist at the end – oh and a washing machine, because, why not? If you’re in St Ives and looking for a game to play, then this more traditional style escape room could help you escape the busy streets below

Cornwall’s Great Escape Rooms: The Family Business (Newlyn)

Cornwall's Great Escape Rooms: The Family Business (Newlyn)

This room is probably ok for the market it is intended for, and most people will probably love it. For some reason it just didn’t click with us and I’m not sure why

Cornwall’s Great Escape Rooms: The Secrets aboard the Jolly Roger (Newlyn)

Cornwall's Great Escape Rooms: The Secrets aboard the Jolly Roger (Newlyn)

You can’t come to Cornwall and not play a pirate themed escape room. We found the Secrets aboard the Jolly Roger, and had a good time doing it. The room won’t wow you, but it was an enjoyable time and most of the puzzles were fair and enjoyable to solve.

Dreadlock Escape Rooms: Detention (Bodmin)

Published: 14 December 2022

Dreadlock Escape Rooms: Detention (Bodmin)

Considering the theme was ‘Detention’, I can’t quite work out why, but this game was a delight. The puzzles were well thought out and the game flowed well. I think it helped that the room felt quite new and clean, but this game has cemented the fact that I think Dreadlock may be our favourite venue in Cornwall.

DreadLock: Witch Way Out?! (Bodmin)

Published: 8 December 2021

Dreadlock: Witch Way Out?! (Bodmin)

I’m a sucker for a story, so Witch Way Out?! was my preferred game at Dreadlock, with decent puzzles and just a fun atmosphere, intertwined with the story. Whichever game you choose, Dreadlock are well worth a visit if you’re in the area… or you could always play two.

Housetrap Escape Rooms: Seance (Bodmin)

Published: 3 December 2021

Housetrap Escape Rooms: Seance (Bodmin)

Of the games that we played at Housetrap, across both venues, Seance was my favourite. With a spooky atmosphere and a few jump scares, the real highlights for me were the moments of supernatural activity, and the surprises that came with it. Plus, the puzzles were pretty good too

Housetrap Escape Rooms: Aquarium (Bodmin)

Published: 30 November 2021

Housetrap: Aquarium (Bodmin)

This game would probably be a good choice for a family if you’re looking for an escape room near Bodmin, enthusiasts also may enjoy it, but for us it just didn’t click. The game had a cute feel to it but the puzzles weren’t our cup of tea.

Housetrap Escape Rooms: Tumbleweed (Indian Queens)

Published: 29 November 2021

Housetrap: Tumbleweed (Indian Queens)

Despite the odd setting in Gnome World, we were pleasantly surprised by Tumbleweed. It had good set dressing, solid puzzles, and nice and open gameplay, the fact that it was 90 minutes was also a bonus. If you’re in Cornwall, this one is worth a detour

DreadLock: Let the Games Begin (Bodmin)

Published: 25 November 2021

DreadLock: Let the Games Begin (Bodmin)

This game is unlikely to challenge enthusiasts, and if you’re a fan of story you may want to look elsewhere. But, if you just want a fun, unpretentious game that is all about the puzzles and nothing else, then this is a good shout.
