This is a new escape room based in Leamington and it was going through some teething problems when we visited, unfortunately - they were understaffed for the evening, so one person was manning two rooms, meaning we had several long pauses waiting for a response.

Apart from this, I felt a lot of effort had been put into the decor and layout of the room itself. The puzzles were a bit different - not just finding loads of 4-digit codes like other escape rooms. It took us a while to get into the flow of it, but once we'd found it, the puzzles were logical and enjoyable.

My only other comment would be that there could have been more immersion from the beginning - maybe using an intro video like other escape room companies do might help with this? We were told that once we entered the room, the power would blow and we'd be on a timer to fix it and escape; it would have been nice to actually have an explosion sound effect / flashing lights etc when we walked in, to act as nice immersion continuity.

On the whole, we enjoyed the room and are keen to try out the other two rooms on offer.

Definitely breaks the mold! We were surprised by the variety and originality of the puzzles. The owner (Tony) even managed to recycle and reinvent the now all-to-common cryptographic type puzzles. He also spent some time afterwards explaining his puzzles and how patterns emerge on his invention. We were a group of four and finished in 49 minutes.

I’ve been to many escape rooms but this is easily the best. Be prepared for the most mind-bending array of tricks and surprises you can possibly imagine. And of course it’s important to mention the great host, who has devised these devilish tasks. Highly recommended to young and old.

The cocktails were good! That’s about the only good thing I can say.

Upon arrival there were two staff running food and drinks for the whole bar/restaurant and we were standing waiting for a while. It seems that they were overworked and, in fairness, that the escape room was a bit of a burden.

The escape room itself was pretty terrible. The audio tech was a bit broken, the clues made almost no sense and the lighting so bad we resorted to our phone torches to read the clues. There seemed no clear storyline either. It was all a bit disappointing and our escape was more by luck than judgment.

When we did escape the staff barely registered it.

The price was cheap and included nice cocktails: a cute idea to drive business and cheap enough that I don’t regret going, but unfortunately I wouldn’t recommend the experience to anyone else.

Great experience! Fantastic puzzles which were the right level of difficulty and great staff!

As a non native English Speaker, I thought it would be a bit too challenging for me, but I was amazingly surprised by how much fun I had. It was a great way to bond with my colleagues, explore the park, compete with stranger (hehe, and meet them) and burn a few calories (rapidly recovered at the pub afterwards). Thank you for a great experience!

Awesome! Scary! Really gets your brain thinking. The set up of the room is amazing and they’ve obviously spent a lot of money on props etc. We loved it!

It was a good concept, it would be great to have a few more visual tasks rather than math and word tasks for some of the clues, but it was fun. We needed a bit more time as we walked the wrong way a couple of times and we had to backtrack on ourselves, but all in all really fun, I would say a good beginner level. It would be great to have more immersive games where we have to go through things if that is even possible.

We had lots of fun, but unfortunately the instructions given to us before going into the room were slightly wrong. It meant we spent lots of time focusing on something we didn't need to do, and we ended up needing lots of help. Would still recommend to others, especially groups of Harry Potter fans!

Having done a lot of escape rooms, I wasn't sure what to expect from an outdoors-based one ... and what a surprise it was! The clues were fun and challenging enough, the app easy to use, and overall we had a blast. Definitely a good activity for a group of friends or colleagues.

I did this with some colleagues and had great fun! We loved the combination of the scavenger hunt side of trying to find certain statues/signs in the park using the map and the logic puzzles which we did as a team. We got quite competitive with the other teams playing at the same time as us so walked fast/jogged most of it so felt like we'd had a bit of a work out! You can definitely walk it though if you prefer. Would highly recommend this as a fun way to explore Hyde Park!

Brilliant experience! We managed to just solve the murder in the nick of time, some really good puzzles and a great way to explore Hyde Park!

We played this game as part of a team social with work and absolutely loved it! It was the perfect activity - engaging, fun, challenging but accessible, and brilliant being outside and active! Loved the mix between puzzle solving, exploring Hyde Park and getting some exercise. I would highly recommend!

Annoying that the premise for completing was walking fast and not related to puzzle solving skills at all. We walked at a moderate pace and had no troubles with the puzzles at all and still we only completed 4 out of 6.... also there was no cooperative ellements at all like two players having two pieces of the puzzle. Also I feel that there were a lot of missed opportunities for making more engaging content... such as video elements like short video messages from mike...., or integrating sms or phone calls or even using the gps... or even using augmented reality content, all of witch might have made this a cool experience that was worth the money. As it is I feel cheated out of my money and would make an effort not to recommend it to others on social media.

Cool room, creative and unusual I did not aspect that, host is very friendly and helpful.
