Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Wow so impressed with our experience today! We booked eight tickets for my daughters 10th birthday party, including five friends, my husband and myself. Our host was Keira and she was fantastic. She was super patient and friendly with six shrieking nine and and ten year olds.
The room itself was brilliantly done and the girls were able to figure out quite a lot by themselves. A few hints were needed along the way and they managed to escape with three and a half minutes to spare!
They all had a fantastic time and all said they wanted to do an escape room for their own birthdays. So thank you to Keira and all at Other World Escapes for a memorable birthday experience. Would definitely recommend!

A really fun hour, we did the vermilion challenge which threw a few unexpected surprises and left us stuck at a couple of points, we needed 3 hints but we eventually go there in the end. Katie was very welcoming as our game host. Will definitely try the other game they have soon.

We visited for the Mayan room and had been looking forward for it for ages, it was so worth the wait! We were on a binge trip so it was our 7th escape room of the day... we were hot and tired; but the room lifted us and gave us energy, we had so much fun. There was a really good balance between smaller puzzles (to give you that great feeling of quick wins) and more layered/complex puzzles to make you think harder. Simon was a great host/GM/God and really added to the experience, thank you! We didn't manage to fit the other room/Portsmouth venue into our trip but we will definitely be heading back.

We had a fantastic time playing the Vermilion Hearts Room. Simon was an excellent host and Tommy kept us on track.
A great set of puzzles to make you think and some clever twists to keep you guessing.
Highly recommended and would go back to try another of their rooms.

My partner and I had been to a few other escape rooms before and this was definitely the best one we have ever been to. The game master was really fun and helpful, the themeing was really good and the puzzles were a perfect balance of difficulty and fun. We'll definitely be going back again to try out the other rooms.

Really enjoyed the Mayan room at Other World escapes. I’ve done a few of these and this room offers something for first timers as well as the more seasoned escape roomer. There were three of us but I think four would probably be your optimum number..we spluttered our way thru it a little with some help from the staff who were excellent and really accommodating.
An enjoyable way to spend an hour or so on an overcast Sunday lunchtime in Southampton.

Hi Besty. Thank you very much for this awesome review. You guys were excellent and Rob was so happy after running your game as the Mayan god. :) We would love to have you back to play our Vermilion room and our future adventures when they open this year.

I played the Vermilion room and there were a mix of innovative puzzle ideas and classic escape room puzzles. But what stood out was the atmosphere (Music, and hint system) which made the experience quite entertaining and full of laughs. The decor is also quite nice and well made. Recommended

Team enjoyed it. Best bit was the enthusiasm from Simon., he kept a close eye on progress, helped at the right times to keep things moving, voiced the demon god well ! Just got the solution under the time limit which is somehow more satisfying than finishing it early. Thanks

I have done all of the rooms at other World Escapes so far and I´m never disappointed. I still need to try the ones at Portsmouth Branch but I am sure I will love everything they happen to create. Such a beautiful, fun and kind team! :)

Did the Mayan Temple challenge with 6 other friends, staff really friendly & well organised. We all enjoyed ourselves, rising to the challenges set along the way. We were able to ask for tips if we wanted & managed to complete the puzzle, Our hour sped by & wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone, would be suitable for mixed ages too.

I want to take someone here who has learning issues and I want her to escape in the 60 minutes. Can anyone email me or reply with the solution to the Vermillion room so I can take her knowing I can move it on in time so she feels amazing. Not sure I would work it out in time as I will be focusing on her and want to ensure she comes out feeling like a winner.

Hi there. This sounds like a great idea. Please get in touch on our email on our website and we can help you out. Also, our gamesmaster can provide a lot of help during the game which is providing guidance but not hand-holding. Our gamesmasters are very skilled at this. :) We also have hint personalities which will be interacting with you during the whole journey so it will feel like an extra player in the room. Drop us an email or give us a call if you have any more questions. :)
