Our escape adventure
We unfortunately choose the hardest room on our first try. Didnt see the difficulty levels when booking on book.me. Had a blast though. Really have to work together and have everyone share opinions. Great puzzles and love the mechanics. Would definitely do again. Highly recommended. The instructor upstairs was not very cheerful or welcoming. The lady downstairs at ThrillZone lovely

Great to do
Staff were amazing, had a great time with my friends. It was my first time doing an escape room so it was kind of a weird experience but I think the more you do them, the more exciting they are. Overall would recommend doing one and it’s a good way to pass time

Good but a bit dark
Really good puzzles and very fun, although the lighting of some of the puzzles made it hard to do without using our phone torches.
