Outside the room Well, this is embarrassing. As you may have read in the last escape room post (on Museum Warehouse) we’d had a lot of fun and finished quite quickly. On escaping, our host said that since we’d got out so quickly, there was enough time for us to sneak into Grandpa’s Last Will before

A straightforward but fun escape room in Bermondsey. Plenty of puzzles, ranging from the very straightforward to the quite fun. A little bit of technology and lots of searching.

Outside the room It was clear, right from the start, that Time Run was going to be something special. When it first popped into my inbox, a quick look at the website hinted at production values well beyond anything else currently available in London. The site beckons you in, beguiles you as it swishes around the screen, and hooks you

A review that suffers from playing immediately after the escape room opened back before I waited a few weeks before visiting. The most “real” live escape game I’ve ever played but let down by its linearity, which left players bored, and some strange videos. Since we played, this game has changed significantly.

And here’s your host, Gabriel… Outside the room Lady Chastity’s Reserve is not something to be taken lightly. That much was obvious from the moment that I laid my eyes upon Gabriel across the bar. A stout man with a strong beard, this was not some run of the mill host, recruited from a student bar.

Outside the room A few weeks after my first visit to Hidden Rooms I was back again, this time with an entirely different team to tackle Chain Reaction. Not much had changed in the intervening period of around a month, but they did now have a nice waiting area to wait in before the briefing. One of our

Outside the room Well, this was a first on my escape room travels – not an office block, shopping unit or dodgy space behind a railway station. Hidden Rooms is located in a perfectly normal residential street, just a few minutes’ walk from Finsbury Park station. In fact, the entrance is off the side of the house,

Outside the room My first visit to Escape Rooms had been such a success that I needed to go back to experience their other room as quickly as possible. In fact, I’d have chosen Pharaoh’s Chamber the first time round but the timings didn’t work out for us, so I was super excited to finally get to

Outside the room We visited Secret Studio during their preview period, where they offered a 50% discount in exchange for spending 10 minutes talking about the room afterwards. As the exitgames blog said at the time – they give you a discount for that?! I’d have happily spent half an hour talking to them… We arrived at

Outside the room I’d been starting to get on a run of niceish locations, and Escape Rooms was no different. It’s located just off Tooley Street, near London Bridge. It seemed like a well laid out venue, with great use of space. Upstairs there’s a single (normal) room where they greet you and say their farewells, decorated
