    Absolutely Brilliant
    I have to say that this room was by far one of the best rooms I have done. It really challenges your brain. The host was amazing and extremely funny. I like all the quirks "ha ha not here". I would 100% recommend this room to everyone. Fantastic experience.

    Birthday fun
    Went to Roomsmiths with friends to celebrate our daughter's birthday and it was BRILLIANT! We all had so much fun, the room was really well done and so clever. We were well looked after by Joshua. Highly recommend it and we cannot wait for the new room to be ready!

    Tricky, good fun.
    The room was easy to find (if you read the instructions in the email or look at Google maps). The GM was friendly and welcoming and builds the rooms himself. I won't spoil the game, but it appears at the start to be a very basic room with not a lot in it. Don't judge a book by it's cover. Linear escape room, challenging and good fun. We have done almost 40 and found this one to be one of the fun (but annoyingly so) ones where the answers are obvious once you have the lightbulb moment. Recommend, look forward to trying the next room when it's finished!

    Great activity - recommend giving it a try!
    Really enjoyed this escape room! Joshua was great, finding the place is part of the adventure (thank goodness for the clear instructions before by text!). Well thought out, really enjoyable and there were only 3 of us! Look forward to seeing the next room. Highly recommend!

    Great Afternoon Escaping
    We really enjoyed our time here and the puzzles were great. Some great set design and little surprises through the journey. Just a shame there is only one experience. If another was to open, we would be there in a shot. Loved the interior design in the briefing room, nice touch.

    Amazing
    Group of 8 had a great time at this escape room. The owner was very friendly, and helped when he could tell we needed it. The escape room was very good quality and couldn't fault it. Great value and very fun.

    Great family escape room experience
    This was our second escape room experience as a family. The puzzles were sometimes challenging but well put together and build nicely in complexity. Our host, Joshua, was excellent. Friendly and welcoming and gave us the couple of hints we needed (when asked for) when totally stuck. Don’t be put off by the exterior. Yes, it’s a few rooms above a garage, but that’s all you need and you can park on site. I’m sure we will be back once they finish their second experience.

    Amazing escape room, 100% logical
    This was one of the best escape rooms we have ever been, and we tried in different countries too. Definitely recommend. It was not easy, but so well thought out that we needed no hints, it was just logical and straight-forward. The guy mentioned they’re building a new escape room, and we will certainly try too.

    Definitely recommend
    Excellent escape room. We are by no means experts but we have done 4 rooms before and this was by far the best. It's really interactive, well thought out and lots to do. Great fun. We also really appreciated being allowed to stay in there until we escaped (it took us an hour and a half!). Absolute top class. We'll definitely be back when there's a new room to do.

    Incredible experience
    This was an incredible experience! I did the escape room with my partner and we both had an amazing time, we’ve done escape rooms previously but this was definitely our favourite! The host Joshua was so welcoming and I am seriously impressed that the room is all his design. A new room coming soon, so looking forward to coming back! We completed the room several hours ago and are still talking about it! Would definitely recommend!

This is the best escape room!! So much to it and really cleverly done. It kept us on our toes and when we thought we were on a roll we soon were put back in our place with more puzzles to figure out. I wish we lived closer for when the new room is ready!
Joshua is brilliant and you can really see how much he loves what he’s created. So, so brilliant. Please give it a go if you get the chance, you will not be disappointed!

The Naked Eye escape room was absolutely fantastic. Every single puzzle was thoroughly challenging yet enjoyable. We had 8 of us attend for a hen-do and I don’t think we could’ve chosen a better activity for a group of women looking for a fun day.
Thank you so much to the staff offering this amazing escape room, I would 100% recommend to anyone looking to go, that they need to choose this one.
P.S. definitely going to the next available room!

This was our fourth escape room having played these others all over the country. In these current Covid-19 times it was good to be offered hand gel, gloves and masks if we wanted them. The puzzles were on a par with the other rooms we have played and certainly entertained. The host was friendly and explained the ‘rules’. We had lots of scratched heads and laughs and escaped in 41 minutes! Well worth the cost and one we would recommend. #theholidaycrew

As veterans of several escape rooms each, we went into it feeling reasonably hopeful of our escape, albeit as a group of three compared to our usual group of four.
The room was very creative and challenging because of this.
There was a mixture of standard escape room puzzles e.g. find a 3 digit number to put into a lock. But there were also a number of different puzzles that were creative and added diversity compared to traditional escape rooms.
When we failed to escape we were declared "dead" but were left to continue until we finally escaped after (shamefully) asking for a few clues. Our time of 1:08 definitely represented the 40% success rate we were told.
I thoroughly enjoyed this escape room and would recommend it

Brilliant challenge. Well thought-out, great range of clues. Some really nice little touches. V welcoming owner. One of the best challenges we’ve seen like this and was also better value for money than some other escape rooms.

An absolutely top notch game: really well laid out with a mixture of puzzles and interesting links. This game mixed technology and traditional puzzles well which was fantastic. Host was gracious and working on their next room! Which we’re excited about.

An amazing experience and I’d say of two other companies in Plymouth, this one was actually the best.

We beat the 3 person record by 10 minutes! And fourth fastest. Wooo!

Thanks again! See ya real soon.

Adults, 16 and 13 year old - all loved this escape room experience. We were all able to get involved. Preferred it to another we did in Plymouth last year. Joshua is great and really enjoyed supporting this independent business.

Really great escape room experience. Far superior to the one I had been to before in Torquay. Only criticism is that it was hard on my old eyes as the light is quite dim and the lock digits are tiny. Definitely take your glasses if you use them! Joshua was fab, can't wait for the 2nd room to be finished so we can go back.

At first we were unsure how the activity would pan out, we've only done one escape room before, in another location. Don't be ut off by the unassuming location. We were pleasantly surprised and it turned out to be a fantastic hour of fun (well - 63 mins) as Joshua, our Games Master, let us continue until we'd completed our escape.
We sis need a little help along the way but looking back it did all make sense and we were perhaps overthinking some of the puzzles.
Will definitely return when the next escape room is up and running.

When we walk in to this place, it looks very strange. We thought this might be a bit on the low budget side. Not like other escape rooms we have been to.
But to be honest when we started playing the game it all started making sense. And the escape room was an amazing experience. Quite difficult at some points. But very very nicely planned out. The only thing it lacked was different rooms. But I was told the owner is planning on creating a new theme which will be more difficult soon. So I can't wait to have a go at that one. Definitely definitely would recommend this place. Lovely host too. All in all a brilliant experience.
