Arcadia Escape Rooms: The Crypt (Fordingbridge)

Published: 9 May 2024

Scream Aloud: The Crypt (Fordingbridge)

This game worked out at just over £4 per minute that we were in it, and if you ignore wasted time then that figure rises closer to £8 per minute. A premium price for an experience that just felt a bit lacking and frustrating.

Unsolved Mysteries: The Cabin (Chatham)

Published: 29 September 2022

Unsolved Mysteries: The Cabin (Chatham)

Unsolved Mysteries have raised the bar for what I expect from an escape room with The Cabin. With satisfying puzzles and a surprising human element, The Cabin managed to be infinitely more immersive than a simple “serial killer” themed game

The Panic Room: The Happy Institute (Gravesend)

Published: 26 August 2022

The Panic Room: The Happy Institute (Gravesend)

We left it a long time before playing this game, and we shouldn’t have. The puzzles were logical and fair, our GM was great, and we had a very ‘Happy’ time in this Institute.

Unescapable: Edith (Derby)

Published: 20 August 2021

Unescapable: Edith (Derby)

Edith has a reputation amongst UK enthusiasts that’s not undeserved. Your tolerance for terror will ultimately determine if this is one that you’ll love or leave, but it is without a doubt one of the best horror experiences we have played in the UK (so far), and struck a nice balance between horrifying and humorous

Break Escape: Nerve Klinik (Loughborough)

Published: 12 July 2021

Break Escape: Nerve Klinik (Loughborough)

If being terrorised isn’t your cup of tea, then Nerve Klinik is probably one to avoid. However, if you’re a fan of scare attractions and puzzles, then step right up – the doctor will see you now.

Cluetopia: 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.

Trapp’d: Motel (Corby)

Published: 1 December 2019

Trapp'd: Motel (Corby)

This was a straight-up horror room, there’s no denying that. But the puzzles flowed and we had fun, even with the live actor tormenting us at every turn. Horror fans will love it

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!

Escapade Games: Zoe (Los Angeles)

Published: 17 January 2019

We heard this was the scariest room in LA, we discussed if this was actually something we wanted to do. I’m glad we did

The Panic Room: Dino Land (Gravesend)

Published: 4 January 2019

The Panic Room: Dino Land (Margate)

Dino Land was the perfect way to kick off an entire weekend of escapes, and lived up to all of my childhood dreams of visiting Jurassic Park.
