A well thought out room with a good balance of searching and puzzles. A good challenge for beginners and experienced players alike, they offer a small sidequest at the end to allow for faster teams to get more out of the room.

A short-lived popup in the North of London proves that you can put together an escape room on a limited budget, if you choose a venue carefully and take advantage of it to set the scene. A team to watch out for in the future!

The first game from a new venue in Bermondsey, Leo’s Path has much to offer in set and story, but the puzzles left me utterly bemused. Definitely not a beginner’s room, but an enthusiast can sit back and enjoy the beautiful concept.

The third game from Lock’d, Perpettum Mobile is a game which loses most of its locks and has a variety of novel ways to make progress. Particularly fun if you like a bit of technology in your games.

The easiest game in the Omescape stable, this one lived up to their reputation – a nice progression through the game from easy to more challenging puzzles and a fun set to explore.

Escape Land have reopened in a central location but the new game retains their quirky charm.

An adrenaline rush of a game. On theme from before you even enter the room and an outstanding performance from the zombie, but let down by the puzzles.

The remake of the classic 90s TV series of the same name. With a million pound kickstarter, bookings stretching out a year in advance and media praising them left, right and centre they had a lot to live up to. How did they fare?

A room whose difficulty is derived from an almost impossible to solve puzzle, rather than general hardness. If you go here, be prepared to be frustrated!

A very basic, unpretentious room. A decent game for novices, although experienced players will likely be disappointed by the decor and lack of interesting puzzles.
