    Best escape room ever done!
    The Viking room was insane! Done a selection of escape rooms now and this was the most immersive, surprising, interactive and varied. Don't want to give anything away but it was full of surprises and the level of detail and efforts gone to really made for a great time. Already planning to revisit for the pirate ship next. Thank you very much for some great memories.

    Unique escape room that was really fun to play!
    Really great experience. Different to a lot of other escape rooms out there! We did the Viking room and it was so interactive, there were so many puzzles and I liked the fact that there weren’t many locks as some escape rooms are full of them. It made the experience unique and overall one of the best rooms I’ve ever done, definitely worth a visit!

    The best escape room ever
    I’ve played over 50 escape games and I can honestly say this was the best one. Last year we played the pirate ship, but the Viking one was amazing. So atmospheric and just fun puzzles! Really really enjoyed it

    What a fantastic escape room. This was our second time visiting, this time we took on the pirate challenge. What an amazing room. The puzzles are fun, the attention to detail is awesome, it was a great challenge. We will be back to try the other rooms at some point. Highly recommended!

    Excellent. Not only are the rooms set in a beautiful surrounding area, they are really interesting with lots of attention to detail. Our work party did the Christmas and Viking rooms and both were quite brilliant. Many thanks to Jess and all at the experience for a thoroughly enjoyable evening. Great idea for an Xmas Do or team building activity x

    Probably the best escape room you'll ever do
    There's an amazing amount of work and engineering that has gone into these rooms. We've done 2 now both excellent in their own way. If you've never done one before then do this as if you're new there are hints to help guide you if you get stuck. You'll compare any other e-room you do to these and you'll always say "well it's not as good as the one we did at Disley on that farm". Looking forward to going back to do the others.

    Greedy imaginative 90 minute escape room.
    Brilliant pirate ship escape room. Lots of interesting artefacts, good physical experience, interesting, varied puzzles and problems to solve kept us fully occupied for the 90 minutes. We’d like to come back as a family again to try one of their other escape rooms.

We had heard and read so much about how amazing Extremescape was so we had to make a day of it to travel and try all 3 of their rooms. We arranged to do all of them on one day with a lunch break in between and the booking process was very easy. They are longer than the normal escape rooms (75 or 90 minutes) which means more puzzles, more fun, and better value for money. All 3 of their rooms were amazing. The set design is especially stunning and feels very authentic. The mix of puzzles that you see from room to room is also incredibly varied and the game play is non-linear so you have loads to do, a high number of individual puzzles in each room. A nice little touch was the print out of our team times for each room at the end as a souvenir! Our preference was Viking > Pirate Ship > Lost Tomb, as Vikings had an outstanding set design, added humour thrown in, and the finale puzzle at the end was such good fun. But all 3 are definitely up there with some of the best in the country.

What a brilliant venue! What makes it so good?
1. You don’t just get locked in for 60 minutes; one room is 75 minutes and 2 are 90 minutes. Bliss!
2. Each room is perfectly themed - it’s like you’re walking onto a film set. For the whole time I was in each room, I completely forgot where I was because I was totally immersed.
3. The technology used in each room is excellent. I can’t say any more so as not to spoil the many surprises you’ll find along the way.
4. The owners were really friendly. We played all 3 rooms and were given time to have snacks and drinks between each room - they didn’t rush us at all. It was lovely to chat to them about escape rooms and how they set up their business.

It’s hard to pick a favourite room as there were several things I loved about each one. Credit to the owners for creating 3 masterpieces full of ingenious puzzles. I salute you!

I fully recommend this to anyone who loves escape rooms. You don’t get much better than this!

These room are fantastic.

We had so much fun playing all 4 rooms here, most recently the Christmas room.
I could mention so many different point across all 4 rooms but each room is so different and every room has something unique that I've never seen before.

If you're looking for a longer room to play, here you have the choice of 3 rooms and one is 90 minutes.

I don't think i could pick a favourite because i enjoyed them all. However I have only just played the Christmas room and it really is fabulous, it's very magical and was a massive hit with the children.

We had Jess, Graham and Ben as hosts and they were all fabulous.
Thank you. We look forward to coming back

Myself and my partner are self proclaimed ‘seasoned escapers’ and the is one of, if not the best escape rooms we have ever been to.

The hosts are down to earth, helpful and passionate. The location is beautiful and purpose built. We completed the Viking room and the quality of the production (such as set, sound, story) can only be compared to a theme park attraction! It was a really showstopper!

We don’t know how we can do other escape rooms now because we will always be comparing them to extreamescape!

Because it’s in the Peak District we decided to visit Castleton in the morning and make a day of it which I would recommend! Be back soon for the other rooms!

We have completed at least 50 Escape rooms and Vikings is the best game we have played both in terms of puzzles and construction. I don’t want to give anything away but it was completely immersive and continually surprising. We are from Scotland and are planning on a trip just to take part in the other games at this venue.

After being recommended by lots of escape room / breakout room staff (from multiple places), we finally made the 1 hour trip to do the Pirate Room. To sum up the experience in one word, i can only use 'WOW'!

Firstly, the room was 90 minutes in total which was such a pleasant change to the usual 60 minutes where you might escape after 40 minutes and you're left wondering where your value for money was (we escaped with just minutes to go!).

Secondly, the layout of the room, the engineering / technicality of certain aspects, the clues, the decor and the other added extras were just on a whole new level to any other escape room i have experienced.

The staff were also very friendly and professional and you can tell that the set up has been designed around the passion for escape rooms rather than a money making business.

I could not recommend this place highly enough and can't wait to go back to do the Viking Room and The Lost Tomb! I also believe that these 2 rooms are in the Top 50 ranking in the world for best rooms!

Thanks again and see you soon!

Another amazing experience. Went for a leaving do and did the Lost Tomb. The quality and special effects put these rooms is a class of their own. I have yet to find. Other rooms of this quality, if you do please let me know.

As an enthusiast of escape rooms, I had heard great things about the rooms and staff at Extremescape and can honestly say they did not disappoint.

On 22/01 we played all 3 of their rooms, Viking, The Pirate Ship, and The Lost Tomb. Every one of them was fantastically themed, with so much detail and thought gone into every aspect of the games, I was absolutely blown away. It was like being at Universal Studios! Plenty for a group of 5 of us to do, with different styles of puzzles in each room.

I will say that Viking was more of tech based room, which had some AMAZING EFFECTS, but not a lot of traditional locks, which I get is not everyone’s cup of tea, but honestly that game is worth playing!!

The Pirate Ship and The Tomb were just as immersive, loads of laughs, jump scares and wow moments throughout the games.

Having played over 50 rooms, I can honestly say these have been the best I have seen so far! The staff were incredible and timed any clues perfectly! Toilets and parking are available also.

Can’t wait to see what they bring out next!

Thank you so much for your positive comments. we are so glad that we didn't disappoint! Our next room is opening for December and it will be a Xmas themed room but opening all year round (not just a pop up). Thanks again for taking the time to review it is much appreciated.

What an incredible escape room!! We did the Viking room and it’s definitely in our top 3 if not our very favourite. Room theming was amazing, every detail had been considered and everything was so authentic. Owners were absolutely lovely and went above and beyond, so friendly and accommodating! Going to be thinking about this room for a while, so so good. Cannot recommend enough that you come and give this room a go.

Played all 3 rooms in one visit and had an absolutely amazing time. All 3 games have an amazing theme that has been built right into the fabric of the room and engineered right into the puzzles. The puzzles themselves flow nicely from one to the next, with ingenious solutions - some of which I haven't seen in any other escape room. Honestly I can't express how amazing these experiences are, and how lovely the hosts are, Jess & Graham clearly have an amazing passion for the rooms they've built. Can't wait for the next one!
