My girl and her friends came to the Escape from Alcatraz at Manchester for her 13th birthday. They had a blast .....they were so close to getting out but just missed out on escaping. They all had a fantastic time in the escape room that they all want to come again and try another one. Can't wait to book another one for them......will definitely be back....even us adults fancy it too next time 😃

This was definitely a great experience with very engaging riddles that you need to solve. Our host Cameron, for the Alcatraz escape room, was the highlight of our day, made us laugh the whole way through and gave us some pretty good clues to reach the end. I will definitely be going back to try the other rooms. Must see place if you want your brain tested and with laughs along the way

Great fun and perfect introduction to escape rooms. Most of us hadn’t tried this before and Titanic theme was challenging but not too much for us as beginners. Liv our host was really good and the theme and attention to detail was fab. Half term offer made it good value. Would do again if there was a similar offer on.

Had a fantastic, immersive experience doing the RMS Titanic Escape Room today - the puzzles were so clever and challenging. Dan was our host and was exceptional, he made the experience even better. He was incredibly welcoming and set the scene perfectly. As a first timer, I’ll definitely be back to try more!

I recently visited Houdini's Escape Rooms and had an absolute blast tackling two of their experiences: Creepy Carnival and Titanic. Both escape rooms were incredibly immersive and packed with excitement, making for an unforgettable outing!
Creepy Carnival was a thrilling dive into a sinister funfair world. The eerie atmosphere, complete with flickering lights and unsettling carnival music, set the tone perfectly. The puzzles were inventive, blending logic, observation, and a touch of creepy problem-solving that kept us on edge. It was challenging but rewarding, with every solved clue feeling like a triumph.
Titanic, on the other hand, transported us to the ill-fated ship with stunning attention to detail. The puzzles here were cleverly tied to the theme, requiring teamwork and quick thinking to "escape" before time ran out. Both rooms struck a great balance of difficulty, ensuring our group stayed engaged without feeling overwhelmed.
A massive thank you to Amber, one of the staff members who elevated our experience to the next level. Her enthusiasm and warmth were infectious, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Amber’s knack for explaining the rules with clarity and excitement got us hyped for both rooms, and her subtle hints (when we needed them) were perfectly timed. She clearly loves what she does, and her passion made our visit even more enjoyable. Amber also shared some great recommendations for other activities at Parrs Wood, which we appreciated.
