Alice In Puzzleland

Alice In Puzzleland

.Escape Hunt - Oxford

  • Escape room
  • IRL
Families with children will have a great time playing this game, the mix of challenging riddles with physical based solutions means there are roles for kids and adults to play in solving this game. Having said that, we as a group of three thirtysomethings also really enjoyed the room and adult only groups shouldn’t be put off by the theme. As with Fourth Samurai and Blackbeard’s Treasure, all elements of the game were considered and true to the storyline offering almost total immersion.

.Escape Hunt - Oxford

We had a lot of fun playing Blackbeard’s treasure overall. The puzzles are well thought through and there is a clear storyline which is consistent through the room aesthetics and the challenges themselves. We’re used to playing escape rooms with smaller companies and where Escape Hunt did fall a little short for us was the charm. The guys here are very good at what they do and as mentioned before it is very polished, but there wasn’t that passion for the games that we see when we play in a room that has been thought up by the games master. That being said, there wasn’t too much of that corporate, office day out, kind of vibe here. Scale shouldn’t be held against these guys though and they managed to deliver an experience that was both challenging and enjoyable.

We absolutely loved playing this room. The setting, puzzles and team all combined to create a thoroughly enjoyable experience. As a team of two we had plenty to do to keep ourselves busy, but there is so much going on in the room that even if we had been a larger team we would probably have spent a bit more time scavenging around. We managed to escape pretty quickly, but we didn’t feel that this took anything away from the game at all. Families in particular are likely to really enjoy themselves in this room. Based on our Jungle Jail Break, we will definitely be paying another visit to these guys to see how we get on escaping Back to the Future and the Lab!

Cirque Delirium is one of the more lighthearted rooms we have completed, and although we didn’t use the full hour we did have a fun 20 mins running around the fair and playing carny games. Kids and families will love this room.
Onewing Airlines

Darkmaster Escape Rooms

OneWing Airlines is a unique and exciting experience that all four of us had a blast playing. It may not house the best puzzles and there are a few missed opportunities for story narrative but all in all the experience is one we will not forget in a hurry. The enjoyment we took from seeing eachother thrown about the cabin in spells of turbulence was a highlight of the game. This coupled with some top quality set design and a passionate team make for a brilliant escape experience.
Questionable Ethics

Questionable Ethics

Hounds Escape Game Experience

  • Escape room
  • IRL
Questionable Ethics was a fantastic Escape Room experience from start to finish. The four of us absolutely loved the immersive set and narrative that the team have created and sustained through scenario, puzzles and props. The game kept us excited right from our GM’s introduction and managed to keep building and building on its narrative to an exciting end point, managing to throw in surprises and unexpected areas again and again. This room goes down as one of our all time favourites, not just in the UK but keeping up with some of the best games we have seen around the world.

Rameseize was an exciting and entertaining room that felt very different to other Egyptian themed rooms we have played. While it didn’t generate quite the same buzz as Daylight robbery, it is still an excellent room and it definitely deserves the acclaim it has.
Shimmy Shimmy Cocoa Pop

Rushden Escape Rooms [prev. Want to Escape]

  • Escape room
  • IRL
Shimmy Shimmy Cocoa Pop is not the most challenging or even immersive room we have ever played. But when you have a room like Guardians of the Gallery on site thats not what a venue like Escape Rushden needs. This game is all about the fun and the brains behind this game clearly had a blast building the room, delivering a game that is playful, energetic and most importantly enjoyable. This game was beautifully simple whilst at the same time being pretty challenging meaning that its one we’d recommend for both adult players and families. For players looking for more of a challenge its definitely worth checking out Guardians of the Gallery and Conspiracy. These are on site also and offer a totally different experience. We had a brilliant time in Rushden!
Southern Dis-Comfort

Hounds Escape Game Experience

  • Escape room
  • IRL
Southern Dis-comfort gave us the most fun we have had in an escape room for a very long time and we’re sure it will be a while until we laugh as much in a game again. This room offers everything to completely round off the escape experience – total immersion, a brilliant game master and a well designed and challenging set of puzzles that culminate in a nerve wrecking climax. We thought Questionable Ethics was great and on leaving we were asked which we preferred. Two very different rooms at one venue but both delivered superbly. For us, Southern Dis-Comfort just pips it. Hands down one of the best rooms we have had the pleasure of playing. It was a record board score for us which we are chuffed with!

It’s hard to enjoy a room when it is so abundantly clear that no care has gone into its creation. We’ve played so many games by passionate game designers and to compare this room to those is impossible. The challenges were poor, the immersion was lacking and the game was flawed.
