    Good escape experience - building a big rough around the edges.
    Good overall experience. Friendly staff, good puzzles and rooms. The building and toilets are a bit "tired" but the experience is still good. We've done three of the rooms here and would visit again.
    Thank you for your review. We are glad you enjoyed your experience overall with us and have taken on board your feedback about the building. It is something we are working on and look to continue to improve.

    Escaping lapland
    Had such a great time trying to escape the Lapland room. Tara was an awesome host and really set the right mood during the brief. A fun themed room and brilliant for team building.
    We are glad you had a great time completing our Lapland room! Thanks for your review!

    Honestly one of the best Escape Rooms I've been to
    I went to "The Journey to Xibalba" with Ross as the Game Host, Honestly one of the best escape rooms I've been to, but I found once we reached the constellation room, things slowed down and most of us had to just stand around doing nothing while 2 people finish the puzzle one-by-one. In the other room, there was multiple puzzles that could be completed simultaneously. IMO, the riddle for the skeleton puzzle should be written down so that some of us could work on solving that puzzle while others work on the pyramid
    We are glad you enjoyed playing our Journey to Xibalba room! And thank you for the feedback, we are always interested in how we can improve our rooms to make them the best they can be! Thanks for your review!

    An unique experience
    If you are looking for an interesting and unique experience, this is definately the place to go. The concept is incredibly well thought out and the puzzles presented are the perfect balance of challenging but not enough to become frustrating. Our host, T, was a very passionate character which added greatly to the experiance.
    Thanks for your review! We are glad you enjoyed escaping with us and found the experience interesting and unique!

    Transported to Lapland for an exceptional experience!
    We had such a fabulous time working out all of the clues and puzzles in our group of six novice contenders! Our games master Dave was great - warm, welcoming and patient. The time went so quickly but there was plenty to keep our group going right up until the end. The building / facilities are tired and could definitely do with some attention, but the room was amazing, especially for some pre-Christmas fun - I will definitely go back to try out the other rooms!
    Well done on completing our Lapland room! We are glad you had an amazing time escaping with us and look forward to seeing you for your next challenge! Thanks for your review!

    Great escape room experience
    Great fun at Otherworld Escapes this afternoon. We thoroughly enjoyed cracking the puzzles of the Vermillion Diamond escape room. Ethan our games master set the scene perfectly and gave us a hint when we needed it.
    Thanks for your review! We are glad you enjoyed the puzzles of our Vermilion room! Well done on escaping in time!

The chip shop room was very inventive and kept us intrigued until the end. The challenges are a moderate level. Our games master Francisca was absolutely fantastic and definitely added to our enjoyment!

Absolutely LOVED this escape room. We did The Journey to Xi'balba and it was amazing! I've done quite a few escape rooms and it was by far the best.
Fantastic themeing - like a Mayan temple, perfect variety of different challenges, elements, hatches, secret areas, surprises. We loved the physical aspect of it - crawling along tunnels, up, down, ropes, slides, building, throwing, secret doors, so many things going on.
Really well thought out puzzles - we loved Sabrina our games master and 'God' we are all still giggling about hearing the voice - she was soo nice and gave us just the right level of help when we really needed it. Such a buzz to escape, and we liked that it was a 90 minute room, as normally escape rooms are 60 minutes and it is over so quickly. All the staff there were so welcoming and friendly. At the end Sabrina took a photo of us all in the Temple with our time on a chalk board, and swiftly sent it to all of our phones which was nice. A brilliant activity for a group of friends getting together and something different to do. All the rooms there seem to be really immersive, we can't wait to try the rest of them - thanks!!

I can see a lot of reviews at 4 stars because of tired facilities outside of the rooms. But frankly, you’re not there to stare at the outside of the building and at least there is a loo to use, even if it’s not the prettiest. 😂

The rooms are why we are repeat visitors (and we are hardcore escape room fans). We’ve completed 3 of the 5 rooms now and are getting worried we’re going to run out 😱.

We love these rooms because the level of complexity is challenging enough that you feel you’ve worked hard but also sufficiently logical that you don’t feel duped. The rooms are also not designed around a series of padlocks so they’re very satisfying compared to other venues.

At this most recent visit, we tried “The Journey to Xibalba”. Absolutely brilliant. “God” (our hint provider) was a perfect mix of dour sarcasm and omnipresent omnipotence. As our host, Ross was excellent. He didn’t interfere and provided hints only when we asked… so we really felt like we’d completed it ourselves. This escape room is really unique - think more Crystal Maze. Lots of physical challenges as well as puzzles to tax the little grey cells.

We’ll be back over Christmas to play another room.

Wow! Thanks for the great review! We are very happy you've enjoyed playing our rooms! We do try hard to make our rooms a bit different and to provide a range of puzzles and challenges that can be enjoyed by everyone from novices to enthusiasts! Our Xibalba room especially, we tried to incorporate both mental and physical puzzles, so we are pleased you found it a great experience! We look forward to seeing you for your next challenge!

Really enjoyable afternoon in the Lapland escape room with Abi as Games Master. A great introduction to escape rooms and builds to be more complex than we expected! Snow balls are a really nice touch. Thoroughly recommended.
