We have done a lot of escape rooms, but this was our favourite by far. The staff were amazing, and we loved the interaction with them throughout the rooms. The set up, attention to detail, and creative puzzles in every room was outstanding. We really appreciated allowing us extra time to complete all of the rooms. We have not stopped raving about this experience. Thank you so much. We can't wait for the next one.

Such a good time today! We almost beat the clock (1h01m52s) but we still got to play with Santa's head. Definitely in love and obsessed with Betty. Can't wait for following one! Thanks so much aswell for showing us all the fun tricks and traps we missed!

Had such a great time at Strange World escape room! We chose the Mrs Claws horror-themed room, and although I’m not the best with horror, the host was super understanding and adjusted the experience so I could still enjoy it with the rest of the team. The props were incredibly well done, and the jumpscares added just the right amount of excitement without being overwhelming. The puzzles were clever and fun, and the whole atmosphere kept us engaged from start to finish. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a spooky but enjoyable challenge!

Absolutely phenomenal! I can't express enough how incredible this escape room experience was LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!! It struck the perfect balance between spine-tingling thrills and laugh-out-loud fun. The two owners were beyond charming so kind, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about what they do. And that Britney Spears moment….ICONIC. Easily a 10/10 experience. Hands down, the best escape room I've ever done. I’m already counting down the days until I can go back!

Had such an amazing experience with Strange World Escape! Our group was so impressed by everything 😁You can tell so much hardwork was put into creating this space! The puzzles were intricate and thoughtout to fit the theme. The jumpscares kept us on our toes and the acting was top notch (honestly in my opinion, was the best part of it all!!) Huge shoutout to Tanner for taking care of us and making our experience so special 😊 Can't wait for them to create more new rooms, we will definitely be back 👌
