Scary - challenging but not frustrating and overall great fun

This was an absolutely awesome experience. The puzzels are excellent and really promote good teamwork and (if you hope to get out) will have you shouting through the dark to try and piece things together with your group. The actors involved really make the experience...More

Thank stewart d

Excellent work from a lovely and enthusiastic team. The staff enjoyed your energy but not so much PigFace, you're way too quick for him. Thanks for stopping by with your kind words and sharing the positive outlook with the community. Oink Oink

Scary but not too terrifying

Really enjoyable experience. A good amount of frights without needing to take spare underwear. The anticipation is what really makes the experience fun - you're expecting something at any moment but are still scared when it happens. My first escape room experience and I would...More

So much Fun!

Myself and 6 friends came along for a birthday get together, there was some inklings of fear as we stood outside waiting to enter. When the game began we all had a fantastic, heart-racing, adrenaline-fueled, problem-solving, team-bonding, entertaining and wonderful time. We loved that dark,...More

Great beginning. Disappointing middle and end

The first half an hour of the experience was truly amazing and really scary! We absolutely loved the start! However, the further into the experience we got the less scared we were. This didn’t help by all six of us hearing the actors talking in...More

Kelstar we're most thrilled we exceeded your expectations, thanks so much for sharing that with us. You're right to advise how dark it is and definitely you don't want your Sunday Best on - Can you recommend any good cleaners...?

No touching, but they do creep around and scare the holy crap out of you. The chainsaw bit will get your adrenalin pumping too!! It's pitch black down there, other than for some tiny flashlights you can find! Honestly, it's... More
