Winston Churchill was a long standing member of the Effra Social Club. He spent many a day and evening there in his private lounge huddled away with leaders from the government and military. During WWII and throughout the Cold War, Churchill established secret command centres and nuclear facilities across London in case of an emergency nuclear situation or invasion by the Nazis. β These Top Secret facilities have been closed and the locations lost due to a fire in the headquarters of MI6. Recently, however, MI6 has intercepted communications from an unknown terrosist group where they claim to have discovered one of the command centres and we fear they may have activated a nuclear device, rigging it to blow and wipe London from existence. Your team has been sent to the Effra Social to investigate the location and try to determine if there is indeed an active device at the location. Time is of the essence as all teams before you have failed to identify the location accessed by the terrorists. Your mission is clear, assemble your specialist team and hurry to the location - The Darkest Hour is upon us.
12 escape rooms
Unfortunately, the room was broken on our visit. The owners were apologetic and gave a full refund but the issues were known beforehand as the host mentioned technical difficulties before we even went in. Some of the puzzles were really enjoyable and I can see that it could be worth checking out some of their other venues.
Much potential but sadly, broken.
All props were relevant but basic set design and poor set up from the host name we didn't really know the theme of what was happening.
Host was friendly enough but made no effort to be a 'host'. That walked into the room mid game without letting us know and didn't do anything to set the theme or mood.
Yes
There weren't a huge amount of puzzles but some of them were longer ones that you had to commit some time to which we write liked. They had a good sense of reward.
Hard
We were moving through at a pretty good pace and were on track to escape (according to the host) - we lost a lot of time to broken puzzles.
Mechanical
4
2-4 players - there aren't really enough puzzles for more than 4.
Not scary
There's 1 loud, jumpy moment as a reaction to something but it's not designed to be scary.

Yes
The owners have a full refund as the game was broken for us with at least 2 puzzles broken...
No
Not at all
Hard to comment on many of these issues as I don't want to speak for others but there were a few flights of stairs to get to the actual room.
