Budapest Escape Review: TRAP

A review of TRAP, provider of quality escape rooms that have been franchised across Europe. Medieval, Egyptian and Armageddon are all good rooms that I think enthusiasts and beginners will enyoy.

Budapest Escape Review: Scavenger

Three disappointing games from a much-lauded venue in the centre of Budapest. In a city where games often don’t have as much attention to detail in the set design, perhaps this stood out but the puzzles weren’t as interesting and while the GMing in the room was OK, the general organisation outside the room was disappointing.

Budapest Escape Review: Gozsdu Mission

A good quality venue in the heart of Budapest. The White Room is famous amongst enthusiasts, and deservedly so, but the Maffia Room was good fun too.

A Tourist's trip to Glasgow

A round-up of a couple of trips through Glasgow. Mostly poor experiences with the one highlight being Escape the Past at Pollok House, a room that would stand up reasonably well even if it weren’t in a heritage site.

A Tourist's Review of Warsaw Escape Rooms

A round-up of the 37 (yes thirty seven) rooms that we played in Warsaw in August 2017 including a summary of which rooms to play if you don’t have time to read the individual articles.

Warsaw Escape Review: Amazeing Escape

A couple of great games to finish our trip and great options if you’re heading out to Modlin airport to return home. Head Hunter had some great touches while The Island was a more traditional room but with some great sets.

Warsaw Escape Review: House Escape

Two games with solid cores but aspects that left us feeling disappointed and frustrated with the overall experience. The GMing came across as unhelpful at times and, while that may have been down to the language barrier, it left us feeling less enthusiastic about the rooms.

Warsaw Escape Review: Dom Zagadek VR

A top quality selection of rooms. The weakest room was still plenty of fun while the other two were some of the best we played over the weekend in Warsaw.

Warsaw Escape Review: Cryptex

My favourite set of games of the trip including my favourite game full stop – Cannibal’s Lair. I’d recommend all three of these games which although they didn’t have particularly engaging storylines managed to combine great puzzles with impressive theming.

Warsaw Escape Review: Escape Room Bank

Of the five games our teams played at Escape Room Bank, I wouldn’t really recommend any. Prison has some merit but has several destructible puzzles while teammates who played Grand Robbery said it was reasonable.
