    Museum Heist

    Pretty immersive and atmospheric, especially towards the end of the game! Puzzles weren’t too tricky but not super easy either, some nice tech elements included. Staff were great, really friendly and helpful.

    Loved the layout of the gameplay, it was very well signposted and easy to find what we needed to be working on. The set design of the game was great and there were some nice ‘magical’ elements! Was a little bit tricky for just two players, thought we almost weren’t going to make it but we did it with around 3 minutes to spare!

    Love all three games at AIM Escape, but the Spy Heroes might be my favourite. If you’ve ever wanted to feel like a real spy in training then I would definitely recommend this game! The puzzles could be a little tricky at times but the GM was on hand to answer our questions via walkie-talkie, she was very friendly and helpful. The set design of the game was also incredible, high tech and very clean.

    We had visited Eeek at their site in Linlithgow a few years ago and had a brilliant time, so we were very excited to see their new Glasgow site open. Magician’s Heist might be one of my favourite escape games ever, the theming was immersive, the puzzles were original, there was even an interesting way of entering the room! You can tell that a lot of love has gone into the rooms at Eeek, the rooms look amazing, all of the puzzles and units in the room are well crafted, even the clues that we were given were themed beautifully.

    This game looked really good, pretty immersive set. The puzzles weren’t too difficult but required some teamwork and some out of the box thinking. Not a lot of technical aspects but that suits the olden day theming. Briefing was given in character, the GM was great and very friendly.

    Can You Escape?

    Really liked this game, it’s just a one room space but packs a lot in. GM was great giving clues in character, gave a few helpful nudges when we got a bit stuck. Non-linear game which I always like better, meant that we could work on things simultaneously or try a different puzzle when we were stuck on something. Merlin vs Morgana theme with 2 identical rooms, I played just myself and 1 other player so didn’t experience their race game but would be great for those with a larger, competitive group.

    Our game was run by Kaz who was very nice, chatty and friendly! The gameplay was easy to follow, each pathway was signposted by a superhero and their colour so it never felt like we were wandering around trying to link things together. The puzzles were a great mix of physical, logic, memory, sensory, kept us on our toes.

    I have played this game twice and managed to work on different puzzles both times, that just shows how much there is in this game! Both times, I played in a team of 6 people (different teams both times), the max number is 10 which I would only recommend for less experienced players.

    We got an in-character introduction to the story which was very cool, some great acting and a great accent! The game itself looked very good, just like a PI’s office, the music was well themed and the puzzles were tricky but not too tricky. There are also some very cool tech elements/surprises, no spoilers here though! We did need a couple of hints along the way but managed to escape in time.

    Had an amazing time playing the Bank Heist! The room itself looks great, just like being in a bank. Really clean and pretty spacious. The puzzles were interesting, some of them were nice and simple, others were a bit trickier!
