I had my first escape room experience at The Cipher Room in The Cabin, I walked out with the biggest smile on my face and already planning my next visit. Incredible atmosphere and engaging puzzles. Thankyou so much to our awesome game master Joe, you really set the tone for the night. 10/10 will definitely be back to try the other rooms

Joe was an awesome game master! He gave us an extra 5 minutes when we were super close to finishing The Cabin, which made all the difference. One of us has done tons of escape rooms and the other was a total newbie, but we both loved how immersive it was. The puzzles were really clever and we felt like we were in a movie. The adrenaline was still going even after we left. Joe also knew we were celebrating a birthday and worked that into the room, which was a really nice touch. We’ll definitely be back to try the other rooms!

I've been here twice now and I absolutely love their escape rooms! So well designed and thoughtful. Personally preferred playing with a smaller group for increased difficulty but it's just as fun with a larger group! Absolutely recommend The Marlowe Hotel as my favourite so far

Had an amazing time here! Our game master guided us really well, gave us just enough hints to keep going without giving us the answers which allowed us to still fully experience the puzzles and room. We only had 2 people and struggled a bit but they still gave us a bit more time to finish the game! We did the Marlow Hotel, puzzles were so well thought out and everything made sense, 100% recommend!!

Can't recommend this place enough!!! STAFF: Exceptionally kind, clear, attentive staff. PUZZLES: Very well considered. One of my favourite escape rooms out there. Really outside the box activities. BONUS AWESOMENESS: The staff give you a little metal pin to take with you when you go. So cute! We loved it! LOCATION: Minutes from restaurants so you could dine seconds away, before or after. 5-10 or so minutes from train station, 1 minute from bus stop and some street parking available.
