Breakin' Escape (London): The Flying Dutchman

A beautiful room with a very linear set of puzzles. Beginners will enjoy but as an enthusiast, I found that the strict linearity of it meant it was easy to get frustrated – as soon as you got stuck on one puzzle you were entirely blocked and there was nothing else to investigate.

Breakin' Escape (London): Heist Plan - The Garage

A surprisingly fun game given the car heist subject matter. Worth playing due to decent flow and solid puzzles with some physical and communication elements although it was let down a bit by faulty equipment.

Locked in a Room (London) - Invisibility Gene

Same old, same old. A very similar experience to their first room. Good enough for beginners but experienced players will likely feel it’s too expensive for a fairly basic experience.

Locked in a Room (London): Timelock

A mass-market escape room that’s very much geared towards large corporate groups. The puzzles were fairly basic, the room was good but not stunning and the finale didn’t excite. Enthusiasts are likely to be disappointed but if you’re organising a trip for beginners, they’ll have a good time.

Live Escape Salisbury: SPECTRE

A great game that pulls together an intriguing story, a broad range of logical puzzles and beautiful props.

Brussels Escape Review: Escape the Room in 60 minutes and Quarantine

A review of Escape the Room in 60 Minutes’ first game and the two rooms at Quarantine. None of the games were outstanding but some of the puzzles in the Manneken Pis themed Escape the Room in 60 Minutes’ game showed some flair and will definitely excite beginners.

Brussels Escape Review: Let Me Out

A fun set of escape rooms. Prison Break was fairly standard but the space and Alice in Wonderland themes were much more enjoyable and well worth a visit.

Brussels Escape Review: Escape Prod

Our favourite escape room in Brussels. It packed in humour, a clear mission structure and plenty of fun puzzles. Perfect for families, friends or couples.

Brussels Escape Review: Enygma

A superficially exciting set of games that didn’t quite meet up to the expectation set by their beauty. The underlying puzzles were reasonable but a couple of questionable GM-ing decisions significantly impacted our experience.
