Puzzlescape (Dereham): The Diamond Hunt

An OK game that was spoiled for me by some overly difficult searching. If that’s what you’re in to then definitely give it a go but for most people I think it will be frustrating.

- Overall rating:
History Mystery (Norwich): Archived Alive

A game that felt a little bit confused but was rescued by a very solid GMing performance. If you’re playing at History Mystery then I’d recommend their other game which is superior in terms of setting, puzzles and immersion.

History Mystery (Norwich): Body of Evidence

A well structured linear game set inside one of the disused jail cells under Norwich’s guildhall. The puzzles were a little lacking but overall it delivers a good experience for players.

- Overall rating:
The Escapement (Margate): Egyptian Exodus

An immersive game that also delivers on the puzzle front – maybe not in numbers but in quality and difficulty. A great experience although let down by a slightly flat finish. Still highly recommend, though.

- Overall rating:
Escape Kent: Kidnapped

A typically grim serial killer game but with a better-than-average interior and a couple of nice twists.

- Overall rating:
Canterbury Escape Rooms: Jail Escape

A fun game that leans lightly on the history in Canterbury. Good GMing, solid puzzles and a nice sense of exploration added up to a very enjoyable experience.
