We managed to skip a few clues by accident so would be good if there was a way it wasn’t possible to skip clues but very good experience. Plenty of rooms to explore

We went to Breakin' Escape Rooms for my partner's 40th and had a great time. We hadn't been to one for ages so we were very slow, but we had a lot of fun solving the puzzles and our helper was so good at nudging us along. She was really good at spotting when we needed her help and giving us just enough to get to the answer ourselves. We really appreciated that they were happy for us to bring our two small children and did their best to accommodate them. We're looking forward to bringing them back when they are big enough to help :)

We completed The Flying Dutchman room as a family of 6. It was a really fun experience and the room was fab. It was a little eerie (but not scary) and I liked the way the music came and went according to what we were doing and when we had made progress, this pacing was a good touch and really added to the atmosphere (if it was belting away the whole time I think it would have been less impacting). There was a good combination of puzzles to solve and it was an ideal first time room for our largely uninitiated party. Our gamesmaster was very friendly and at the click of a button for clues, which we needed a few of! The waiting area is cool too and all adds to the atmosphere. The only thing I would pick up is an echo of someone else's comment that the introduction to the room would be better made outside the door. It takes a bit of the excitement away with the gamesmaster coming in then leaving.

Our Adrenalin ran for the full hour. Amazing experience, fun and skilful. Highly recommended! For an evening of mental stimulation

My partner and I visited over a busy weekend, the team were so helpful and even managed to squeeze us in for an extra game with no notice.
We played Blackwing's cave, Sherlock's despair (1) and War on Horizon Alpha.
All rooms were fun with unique puzzles. The hosts/games masters, were really involved and clearly passionate about what they do.
We had a blast and would recommend to anyone in the area. I'll certainly be back to play the remaining rooms.

Very good and enjoyable. We (almost) worked through Sherlock's Despair#1. Puzzles were all workable, but we were just a few minutes short. Staff were helpful and gave us a little longer.
However I could not give this 5 stars because the lighting in the room really was not good enough. (My eye sight may not be perfect but my sight correction lenses are perfect for everything else I do in life including driving and reading newspapers!) Once we calculated the codes for the padlocks, I was unable to see the numbers on any of the locks and had to rely on other family members to open them for me. Similarly I was unable to read one of the clues - can't say where it was for fear of giving a spoiler. I could have used the torch on my phone, but felt uncomfortable doing so as I didn't want the Escape Room staff thinking I was taking photos.

Best escape room we have experienced! Really detailed scene setting. Felt you were in a room in Hogwarts! Even spooked our 14 year old with some of the special effects. Can’t recommend highly enough. We are a family of five with three teenagers. All loved it. We will be back.

Read about it online.
We had to try it.
Me and my wife took our 13 year old with us.
The wizard room. That was our challenge.
We had a blast and can’t wait to come back to try the other rooms.

We did the Sherlock Holmes, very hard but not impossible. Very satisfying when we cracked it. Staff very professional. We had a brilliant time.

Hi,
Is this suitable for a 14 year old and can I squeeze her in, she would take the number of people to seven?

The escape room is suitable for someone of 14, in fact I saw a few kids that age. The people managing the escape rooms were really friendly perhaps phone and ask about an extra person. They may ask for a small charge for them taking part as at that age they are like any other customer.
is there a way to have 8 people in the same room or 4 in one and 4 in the same theme/diffuculty room?
thank you

Hello
Unfortunately, the maximum number of players per room is 6. However, we have recently opened a duplicate Sherlocks Dispair and a duplicate Blackwings Cave to enable groups to play against each other.
