Potential challenges

  • The escape room format involves time pressure and a ticking clock, which some children may find stressful
  • High noise levels have been reported by some visitors, including reports of a fire alarm during gameplay
  • The waiting area is small and can feel untidy; there is no dedicated calm or quiet space
  • Doors to the cafΓ© and toilets open frequently during games, which can cause interruptions and distraction
  • Some visitors have noted the game structure may lack a clear, obvious ending point
  • Clues do not always flow logically, so some visitors have found the experience unpredictable at points

What works

  • Staff are named, known, and genuinely praised by visitors – Ryan and Chloe have been specifically highlighted
  • The puzzles are well-organised and offer good variety of different task types
  • Affordable pricing means less financial pressure if the experience doesn't go to plan
  • Staff are responsive and willing to adapt – worth having a conversation about your child's needs before you start
