Lockhill: The Sanitorium (Midnight mode) (Athens)

Published: 10 March 2023

Lockhill: The Sanitorium (Midnight mode) (Athens)

This entire experience truly felt like we were in a live adaptation of a Resident Evil or Silent Hill video game. It. Was. Incredible.

Lockhill: Chapel and Catacombs (Athens)

Published: 1 March 2023

Lockhill: Chapel and Catacombs (Athens)

In a city full of world-class escape rooms, Chapel and Catacombs stands out and was nothing short of incredible. I guess there’s a reason why it’s currently ranked by enthusiasts as the #1 game in the world. While I hate to add to the hype if I were asked, “What should I play in Athens if I only have time for one game?” There is no question, it would be this one.

No Exit: El Exorcista (Athens)

Published: 16 February 2023

No Exit: El Exorcista (Athens)

I have never experienced anything quite like El Exorcista, and I think that goes for the rest of the team as well. We were, quite literally, dropped into the middle of The Exorcist and I have never felt more immersed in a game

The Panic Room: Hell House (Gravesend)

Published: 3 November 2022

The Panic Room: Hell House (Gravesend)

Hell House is possibly The Panic Room’s most ambitious project to date, and it is quite a sight to behold. If you’re planning a visit to Gravesend, I would add Hell House to the “Not To Be Missed” list.

Trapp’d: Forsaken (Wellingborough)

Published: 10 September 2021

Trapp'd: Forsaken (Wellingborough)

We destroyed Forsaken, completing it in 23 minutes and escaping with the room record. It wasn’t a hard room but I can see why people may struggle, especially as it is so dark. I don’t know if bigger teams get more torches, but one per person would be nice. If you’re a fan of horror rooms and like a live actor, then you’ll probably get a buzz from Forsaken.

Tricky Escape: The Damned (Clacton-on-Sea)

Published: 17 January 2020

Tricky Escape: The Damned (Clacton-on-Sea)

The Damned has firmly staked out its place as a horror room, but with friendly owners you can probably tone this down if you’re not a fan of jump scares and live actors. Ignoring the horror bits, it’s a solid room with flowing puzzles and fun from the very start to the end.

Incarcerated: The Tortured Soul (Swindon)

Published: 14 December 2019

Incarcerated: The Tortured Soul (Swindon)

This room was much better than we expected and as a creepy (not really horror) room, it was good fun. The only bit that was lacking was the ending. I’m sure it’s not easy to make exiting into a corridor fun, but it was just a bit anticlimactic

Trapp’d: Abigail (Kettering)

Published: 14 December 2019

Trapp’d: Abigail (Kettering)

Yes, Abigail is creepy, and there are a few attempts at jump scares, but this, for us at least, was not a true horror experience, and was more of a well done paranormal themed room

Escapologic: Butcher (Nottingham)

Published: 18 June 2019

Escapologic: 13utcher [Butcher] (Nottingham)

This room is not one for the faint hearted and if you’re of a nervous disposition it’s probably one to avoid. However, if you want a room that it a bit different and will not only challenge your mind but also your bladder control, then give it a go!

Get Lost Escape Rooms: The Krevokar Programme (Dover)

Published: 15 April 2019

Get Lost Escape Rooms: The Krevokar Programme (Dover)

Our first room at Get Lost Escape Rooms and it set the bar high for the others. This room felt like we were experiencing a Resident Evil in real life. A fun game from start to finish
