The area
Address
Neighbourhood: Shoreditch
The western front of the edgy East End, Shoreditch is a perennially trendy haven for anything “street” – be it art, food, or fashion. With its handful of well connected transportation links dotting its perimeter, along with an ever increasing variety of shops, hotels, bars, and restaurants, it's easy to explore this trend-conscious and youth-oriented neighbourhood. There's a lingering post-industrial grit about Shoreditch, but because it shares a border with “The City” financial district, the influence from its upscale neighbour can result in fascinating outcomes.

    Fantastic fun
    Did Roll Out The Barrel one weekend and loved it so much that I immediately booked to do The Adventure Begins the following weekend. Roll Out The Barrel was just me and my teenage son and was completely doable just with two players (especially as Sarah was very kind and gave us 10 extra minutes to complete the game). For The Adventure Begins I recruited a friend and her teenage daughter to join us both. Everyone had a brilliant time: the puzzles are all in keeping with the theme and are challenging but fun (especially with the occasional nudge in the right direction from Sarah and Allie. Both Sarah and Allie are great hosts and really made the experience special. Can't wait to come back and do the third room.

    Some of the best rooms in London
    I’ve done all 3 of Escape Plan’s rooms (and over 100 other escape rooms) and can strongly recommend them as some of the best in London. They’re atmospheric, the puzzles are interesting and varied with lots of satisfying physical/tactile aspects. Roll out the Barrel is perhaps the best of the three but all are well worth playing.

    Excellent!!!
    We played Roll out the barrel. Great room with very interesting mechanics. It is quite challenging for 2 people ( so I would recommend to be played with bigger team). Our game master (Sam) was awesome. Will highly recommend the room, one of the best in London!

    Excellent team bonding
    I booked this for my work Christmas do. We are a small team and fancied something different. The booking process was so easy and Brenden was super helpful. I couldn't attend in the end as I was ill but I had excellent feedback from my team about the escape room. The staff at Escape plan were all super friendly and the games really did need everyone to take part and were a real challenge. I'm hoping to try it myself soon!

    Great games
    We played roll out the barrel (35 ish minutes) followed by battle for Britain (55 ish minutes). Absolutely loved both games, (although evidently we found one much easier than the other). Sam was a lovely host, great at running the games and easy to talk to as well. Great puzzles, definitely got the cogs turning and had loads of fun doing so!

    Very fun experience!
    Just finished our escape room with Escape Plan. It was themed as you needed to escape your barracks during WWII. The entire experience was very fun and geared towards people that have done escape rooms before. This one was geared towards people that have done a few escape rooms before. It was just me and my partner so they gaveus a few clues in order to keep the experience going. We were able to escape and the puzzle didnt feel impossible. One little nitpick was there was a section that if you are not careful something heavy can fall on your hand. Also we started a little late because of technical difficulties but those can happen from time to time to anyone. Allie and Sarah were amazing hosts, seemed genuinely invested in us having fun and were very fun! Will be back for the next room!
    Thanks so much for the review and glad it was fun. Just wanted to get some feedback on the nitpick you mentioned. Safety is important to us, so we want to know if there's a risk somewhere in the set that we've not spotted. Can you drop us an email: hq@escapeplanltd.com? Apologies that your game started a little late. It's rare, but as you say, it can happen. We look forward to seeing you again! Many thanks

    Thumbs up for The Adventure Begins!
    A group of six of us did The Adventure Begins with Escape Plan last night and we all really enjoyed it. The puzzles were varied and a good level of difficulty, and the whole thing was very well paced. Very tense indeed towards the end! We all really liked the WW2 setting too, it was immersive and quite classily done. Our GM Django was a great friendly (and helpful!) presence as well. We'd certainly be keen to come back and try one of the other games!
    And we'd love to see you again - thanks for the review!

    One of the best escape rooms I've ever experienced.
    Had an amazing time playing roll the barrel! The puzzles were really fun. Multiple puzzles could be solved simultaneously, no player was ever left stood around doing nothing. The only criticism I havw is that one of the puzzles is quite loud! (Rolling the barrels) Lidia was an amazing host making us feel so welcome, really kind and helpful! Would recommend for anyone looking for an escape room in London!

    POW camp escape
    First time we had done an Escape Room and so glad we did. We escaped from the PoW camp as a team of 6 and all thoroughly enjoyed solving the range of puzzles. We will certainly do another. Sarah our host managed the whole thing superbly for us and added to our enjoyment of the event.

    The best escape room I've been in
    A really great, well thought out escape room with friendly, engaged staff and ingenious, well-pitched puzzles. We went for the 'Battle for Britain' activity with a team of four. We had a lot of fun - we managed to win but it was tense! One stand out feature over many escape rooms - there were moments where multiple puzzles were available, meaning a team could either split to tackle multiple challenges simultaneously, or proceed from one puzzle to another at their discretion. A small thing, but it felt like we had more freedom than in many escape rooms, and could play to our group's strengths. Would completely recommend. We'll be back to try their other escape rooms as well!

I brought my team here for our Christmas party and everyone had an amazing time. There were 18 of us, spread across 3 rooms and everyone has said how much they enjoyed it.
The hosts were amazing Charis, Sam and Sarah thank you so much for such a great time.
Everyone has asked to return to try the other rooms so we deffo be back next year!
Perfect for team building, bonding and overall team fun. We all went for a drink afterwards and debriefed on the games and our strategy’s which was fun also!
Thanks again!

Amazing time, Allie our host was brilliant, and the atmosphere created was really good, she was there when we need her and let us play when we were going in the right direction. We will come back for the other rooms!

I did Battle of Britain in a group of 7. As a group, we sort of struggled at the start but things started to fall into place as we began to work as a team. I was the only escape room first timer in my group and I'm really glad I came here as it was challenging but still it still didn't feel impossible.

The lady presenting, Lidia, was also great. There were moments where she spoke to us through a microphone when she noticed thst we would be wasting too much time with what we were doing but she never gave too much away. Her bubbly personality and energy definitely added to our experience.

I would highly recommend to anyone who might be interested and especially to someone who's never been to an escape room before.

Fun afternoon with family. Well organised with a great story. Sam was excellent, very informative and helpful with hints to get us back on track. Made it out with just a minute to spare.

I booked an Escape Room called 'Battle for Britain' and we were hosted by Brendan. It was our first escape room and it was a great experience. There were two rooms, the clues were tricky but not to the point that they were insurmountable and Brendan was a great host throughout. I would recommend it.

I played Battle for Britain with a few friends, and we have an amazing time playing the game! The staff was all very friendly and enthusiastic, and the escape room was very uniquely designed, both in the room and the game play. We will definitely be coming back to try the other rooms!

A very well made escape room with plenty of surprises. We did the one where you get the barrel, which was great for a group of four! Very friendly, helpful staff (thanks to Charis in particular!). Lots of fun!
