All I can say is amazing!!! So enjoyable we went as a group of three. Personally not having done one before I was so hesitant, but this was so enjoyable and I’ll definitely be going back to do another one. We actually escaped which was a bonus! But it couldn’t have been made possible if it wasn't for the amazing host Connie!!! Her clear explanation of everything! Her aura was second to none! Made us feel so comfortable. She is an amazing asset to the team, and she is one of the reasons we will be going back to do the other two escape rooms. It was our first activity of the day and she really made it so enjoyable.

Connie was an absolute legend! Me, and 2 others came and did the Titanic room first and then the Temple run escape room after.
She made the escape rooms much more enjoyable and genuinely loved how she interacted with us.
Absolute legendary human Connie is.

We absolutely loved our evening in the Titanic escape room - which was challenging but not impossible. Connie was a super lovely and enthusiastic host. We already want to book another Houdini's Escape Room experience! 🔑

Houdini is an amazing escape room. The staff are wonderful too. Holly and Hannah we both exceptional hosts.
We've done all three rooms as a family of two adults, one 9yo and one 12yo. All three were doable as a family. Temple escape was the best, but also the hardest and perhaps a little on the frightening side for a 9yo.
Hexmore worked great for the 9yo and his friends from school as a bday party.
Titanic was also great fun.
Thanks Team Houdini

People Also Ask
How can I book an escape room experience?
You can easily book your escape room online through our website or by calling us directly at 0333 004 9700. We highly recommend booking in advance to secure your preferred time, although we do accommodate last-minute bookings and walk-ins based on availability.
Will our group have the escape room to ourselves?
Yes, absolutely! All our escape rooms are booked privately, meaning the room will be exclusively for you and your team. We never combine separate groups, ensuring a fully immersive and personal experience for your party.
What is the minimum number of players required?
All of our escape rooms are designed to be played with a minimum of 2 players, making them perfect for couples or small groups.
Are there any age restrictions for players?
An adult over 18 must stay on the premises if all players are under 18. Children under 12 require an adult to participate in the game. For players aged 12-16, an adult must remain on-site (some specific rooms allow unsupervised play for this age group). Players 16 and over can play unaccompanied if an adult signs the waiver and stays on-site, with some exceptions for rooms requiring ladder climbing. Lady Chastity's Reserve (Farringdon) is strictly 18+, and A Curious Case at the Haunted Manor (Acton) is strictly 12+. Children under 6 are not charged.
What happens if I need to cancel or re-book my session?
Bookings are non-refundable once made. You can reschedule your booking more than 24 hours in advance, subject to a £25 fee. Unfortunately, rescheduling is not possible if it's less than 24 hours before your event, and no refunds will be issued. If you fail to show up or arrive 20 minutes late or more, your booking will be cancelled without refund or rescheduling.
What should I bring or wear for my escape room adventure?
You only need to bring your enthusiasm and teamwork! All necessary game materials are provided. We suggest wearing comfortable clothing for the best experience. Please arrive on time for your briefing before the game starts.
Can I bring my child(ren) if my babysitter cancels?
Yes, you are welcome to bring your children if needed. Many babies have comfortably slept through the experience! Children under 6 years old are not charged, while those aged 6 and above are charged as standard players.
Is outside alcohol permitted in the escape rooms?
No, outside alcohol is not allowed inside the escape rooms. For safety and enjoyment, if any team member appears to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs, we reserve the right to refuse admission, and the booking will be treated as a non-refundable no-show.
