About
Secret Studio is an exciting retro-themed mystery escape game! You and your team are locked inside the headquarters of 'Secret Studio Films', a (fictional) down-at-heel schlock movie production office that hasn't been refurbished since 1979. You have an hour to solve the puzzles inside the room and unlock the mystery to escape. Work together as a team to try and beat the clock...

The area
Address
Neighbourhood: Whitechapel
Whether you're here for its dynamic street life, world class galleries or famed curry houses, you're bound to be wowed by the uniquely cosmopolitan flavor of Whitechapel. Long gone are the days when Jack the Ripper stalked its streets. And despite his mysterious legacy bringing throngs of curiosity driven tour groups to its back alleys and otherwise serene garden squares, these days you're more likely to catch a cutting edge fashionista scurrying through its age old lanes than criminals of any sort.

    Great Team Building Experience and A Lot of Fun For All
    We booked 5 teams in for the Secret Studios' escape room experience as part of a company get together, and they all raved about it afterwards! The games master was fantastic at setting the scene and interacting throughout the game. We had a range of escape room rookies and a few experienced folk and they all had a blast. I would definitely recommend this as a great group activity!

    Brilliant fun that keeps you on your feet!
    Absolutely loved this! Went with my sister and my boyfriend and we had such a good time! Laurence gave us the best welcome, him and Sarah made the experience 100x better from start to finish. The clues and room really made you think and work together (but equally got helped when we needed it). We had our endorphins rushing, real highs completing some phases and even escaping - we were smiling and talking about it the whole way home. Thank you for such a great time - we will be back for more!!

    Fabulous
    This was such a fun, amazing experience. Was My first escape room and will definitely do it again. I was very sceptical before we went, but so glad I’ve done it now! The team leaders were absolutely brilliant. There were a few scary moments which we will laugh about for many years and we live to tell the tale. Thank you so much

    Scary and Fun!
    Great fun, we were a group of 6, mostly 20s, but also a 10 yr old and a 50 yr old, we all enjoyed it, very tricky, we really had to work as a coordinated team, we screamed so much and laughed so hard!!! Delightful. We also recommend their newest adventure (maybe better for those with young kids) Escape from the Golden Hinde. Fabulous!!! we'll be back when in London.

    Brilliant fun!
    Brilliant communication from start to finish. We had to rearrange due to covid and they held our booking and let us change the date. The escape room was brilliant fun. Very difficult challenges but with clues given throughout as needed it was achievable. Can’t rate this highly enough.

    Great Escape
    Our family team, all over 25 , consisted of 5 adults - my wife and I, our 2 sons and one girlfriend. This was my first time in an escape room. It was a great experience. Very well managed, very professional. Absolutely great fun, and sometimes a little bit scary! We managed to escape in 49 mins, so 11 mins inside the hour allotted. Would definitely do another one 👍

    Fantastic experience from beginning to end
    A really well thought out escape room. Andrew and Phil were fantastic hosts from the start and the whole experience was excellent! The puzzles were challenging and varied and every little detail was considered. Thanks for an excellent afternoon!

    Perfect for birthday parties
    It was absolutely wonderful, I went here for my birthday with my friends (and my team won - don’t call yourself the winners and jinx yourselves) It is so fun and we there are a few jump scares but it’s not really a horror escape room; it’s more of a mystery one. The people there are so amazing and thank you Phillip for the encouragement and hints along the way. Don’t be fooled by the slightly sketchy start to the escape room it just made it even more exciting Would definitely recommend this

    SO much fun!
    Such a cool experience! We went as a work social and Tise and the rest of the team made it so fun, well exceeded our expectations - all the puzzles were really cleverly put together and just the right amount of challenging. They even let the first team out have a role in the other team's games (won't say more than that to avoid spoilers!) Highly, HIGHLY recommend - wish we could go again (and very well might, as they have another escape room near London Bridge) Thanks so much to Tise and the team!

    Shout Out to Sandy!
    I've played a lot of escape rooms and this one was definitely up there - a fun mix of types of puzzles to keep us interested! I'd say keep your team to around four people, more than that might mean that sometimes there's too many cooks. HUGE shout out to Sandy, who was our host, and was personable, friendly and fun from the moment we entered - definitely made the experience ten times better!

This was my first escape room so honestly didn't know what to expect. A friend booked it and we got the haunted one. Honestly... there aren't words to describe how much fun it was.
From the email we got when we booked it instructing us what to say when we got there to managing to escape, there was an incredible amount of attention to detail.

Toby, our games master was great! Explained everything clearly and gave us a few helpful tips along the way.

Lots of screams involved but my goodness, when we finished we were crying with laughter.

Great experience. Would 100% go again. Already thinking of who I should go with next.

P.S. the crow was our fave!

What an amazing experience! Really surpassed our expectations! Super fun - we screamed, we laughed and we had an amazing time! Attention to detail was great - every time you think you're done it just keeps going. Lots of clues to find, a bit of everything so everyone can shine.
100% recommend!

We've had a wonderful experience and so much fun during our company day out at Secret Studio. From the exellent actors, friendly staff, to the rooms decor, the scenario, all the little details they have thought of... the fun little activity turned into a memorable day! A lot of us had never done an escape room game and we loved it. As a small company, being able to book all 3 rooms and turn it into a racing challenge was such a great touch. Highly recommended! we can't wait to try another one of their escape room.

We had a really fun time at the Secret Studio! The challenges/games/pacing were very good and had some fun surprises! We all loved working with Tice- he had a great energy from start to finish! It really enhances the experience to have such an engaged and passionate guide! Looking forward to trying the Golden Hinde!
