Escape Hunt (Leeds): The Fourth Samurai

A solid game across the board – storyline, decoration, puzzles and finale were all good. If you want something that pushes the boundaries of escape rooms then go elsewhere but if it’s enough to just be good throughout then it’s a great choice.

Deception Escape Rooms (Matlock, Derbyshire): Trapped

An enjoyable escape room with plenty of puzzles and a great sense of exploration and story. Some puzzles might have been a bit of a stretch but on the whole a thoroughly enjoyable experience in a pretty town.

Aftermath the Game (London): On the Brink

A fun, pleasantly chaotic game with a real sense of investigation and an interesting overarching storyline. The logic felt a little shaky at times, and the puzzle content could have been better but it was impressive that they’d managed to squeeze an eight-player game into little more than a suitcase.
