Live Actor

Housetrap: Killjoy (Bodmin)

Published:

We were only the 3rd team to escape the horrors of Killjoy, but not because the game is unfair. It will challenge players to think outside the box, but the solution is there if you look hard enough. But I can see this style of game being very hit or miss with players.

Enigma Wakefield: Seance (Wakefield)

Published:

I can see why people find Seance to be a scary experience. With a live-actor running around you, it certainly keeps you on edge. I’m not sure if it deserves the tag as being one of the scariest escape rooms in the UK, but I guess that’s all relative.

Unsolved Mysteries: The Cabin (Chatham)

Published:

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

Unescapable: Edith (Derby)

Published:

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

Cluetopia: The Damned (Clacton-on-Sea)

Published:

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:

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:

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!
