    Fantastic Christmas Fun
    Took on Santa's Christmas Advent -ure with friends. We've played all rooms at both the Loughborough and Nottingham venues and are yet to be disappointed. The room is jam packed full of cleverly thought out tasks, and it was great that we could all work on different ones st the same time. Although we did this with friends, it would absolutely be suitable to do with children. Our host Phoebe was great and made us feel very welcome. Thankfully we escaped and Christmas was saved!!! Great work Break Escape.
    Thanks for the lovely review, we’re glad you had a great time with us & Phoebe! We look forward to hosting you again soon

    Fun game with variety of puzzles
    Visited to play the story of the Sorcerers sword with my friend. I really enjoyed this game, visually interesting with a good mix of puzzle types to solve. I highly recommend. Our GM was helpful and friendly, and clued us when we asked for a bit of help.
    Thanks for taking the time to review us :) we look forward to hosting you for another game soon!

    Good room, not so great host.
    The escape room was well designed and had some good puzzles in. However, in all honesty the game host kind of let down the experience. She didn’t explain the story line. There was no sort of information or set up we were just sort of shoved in the room. We didn’t even know the time had started till she shut the door and just let us get on with it. Think that sort of spoilt the whole experience. Overall it’s worth a visit, it’s well designed and a good story line.

    Great Christmas Experience
    Took my teen’s here to play the Christmas room! Really well thought out game & loads of fun. Nice to find something different to do beyond the generic stuff. We’ve played escape rooms before, but this was our first Christmas one! We’ll be back
    Well done on saving Christmas! You'll have to come back and see how well you do in the Sorcerers Sword or even our brand new game - Chocolate Factory. Opening soon.

    Great time at Break escape
    We went to Break escape over the Christmas holidays with family. We thought we'd give the one in Nottingham a go after visiting their other branch in Loughborough. It's the 4th time I've been to one and we really enjoyed it. The rooms were challenging and great fun. Definitely return again.
    Thanks to visiting, we hope to see you again. You'll have to come back and see how well you do in our brand new game - Chocolate Factory. Opening soon.

    Great fun & good value
    Really enjoyed this escape room, we had 2 adults and children aged 9-13 and everyone could get involved and solve the clues. The games master was really chatty & personable, the clues were just helpful enough without giving too much away. Waiting for the new room to open so we can go back.
    Thank you for the wonderful comments. You'll be glad to hear we'll soon be announcing the opening date for the Chocolate Factory, so keep a close eye on the socials. In the meantime, check out our other 6 games nearby in Loughborough.

    Brilliant as always!
    I have played all their games in Loughborough (some more than once) so it was inevitable that i’d come across to this one and it did not disappoint! I have now attempted the christmas room there and the sorcerers room. Both were utterly fabulous actually. I thoroughly enjoyed the mix of puzzles and both had some good wow factors. Definitely recommend this company both in Notts and in Loughborough!
    Thank you for your glowing review. Sounds like we need to start building them faster before you run out completely. We plan on having a bunch more in Nottingham, starting with Chocolate Factory! Keep an eye on our socials as we'll soon be announcing the opening date.

    Superb
    We played both the magic room and the Christmas room with Break Escape, the rooms were superb, and really well decorated. Tom and Jak were great hosts too. We’ll be back once the chocolate factory opens
    Thanks for the kind words, glad to know we're still on our A-game after so many years behind the scenes. Keep an eye on our socials as we'll soon be announcing the opening date for the Chocolate Factory.

    Recent visit 10/2/24 to Break Escape
    First time of visiting Break Escape and we did the Story of the Sorcerer’s Sword room with friends. It was excellent and used a variety of puzzles! Very reasonable considering the quality of the room. Will be back to try the new chocolate room!
    Thank you for your lovely review. It is always great to make a great first impression. Keep an eye on our socials as we'll soon be announcing the opening date for the Chocolate Factory. Shane

    Amazing experience for family and friends
    AMAZING - We came as two adults and three children for a fun activity whilst the kids were off school. We had the best time, the rooms are creative, engaging and provide a perfect level of fun, puzzle solving, laughter and team work. The team were brilliant, kind and we already want to come back again. I would recommend to anyone, thank you for having us.
    Thank you for the lovely words. We are glad to know you all enjoyed yourselves. Stay tuned to our social for the announcement of our much anticipated Chocolate Factory room. We'll see you again for that one!

This is the second time visiting the Nottingham branch, having previously visited the branch at Loughborough. This was our second attempt at the Chocolate Factory after narrowly failing to complete the game last time.

Mia was the host on this occasion, who was really friendly and knowledgeable. The Chocolate Factory escape room is really cleverly thought out, and I felt we received the right amount of hints throughout but also at the right intervals. We managed to complete this room with about 3 minutes left. Mia was really chatty and incredible helpful afterwards, even providing recommendations of other escape rooms to attempt, with this being a mix of their own and even some of their competitors. We personally felt that she had gone above and beyond what we had expected, and we will certainly be back in the near future. Well done Break Escape and Mia!

The four of us booked into the sword and sorcery room on the last day of the school summer holiday, and we were very glad that we did!

Our game was supervised by a lovely lady called Phoebe who made sure that we were all ready before we went in, covering the expectations of what could be involved (making sure we knew that brute force would not be required, and we wouldn't need to take things down past shoulder height, that sort of thing.)

There is a toilet on site so that you can sort yourself out before going into the room.

Once in (as with most escape rooms) your activity will be monitored and if needed, helpful hints may be given.

The decorations and amount of thought that had gone into the design is very impressive - we are looking forward to the Xmas room and later on the chocolate factory room 🙂

Really do recommend, great fun!

Thanks BreakEscape for a wonderful family day out!
We played here as a family with my youngest daughter (12). We all love to play escape rooms but the youngest really doesn't like the dark or themes that appear dark so when you get a venue where you can play them all and she loves it, then it's great.
Having played all the games at BreakEscape Loughborough and thoroughly enjoying all those games, we were all really excited to see what this location offered. We were not disappointed.

We played all 3 games and each one brought something different but also each one was equally enjoyable. The set design and attention to detail in these rooms is incredible.
The Christmas Game is a lovely puzzle frenzy and perfect for any time of the year but I would imagine has a really special feel when played at Christmas.
The Magic room is so beautiful, taking you on a journey through the Wizarding world, any budding magician (or not) would love it. I absolutely loved the journey that this game took us on.
The Chocolate Factory, what can I say? This room looks everything it should with the puzzles to match. When you have 2 children and one is actually aged 20, both squealing with delight at their surroundings, it's a good day.

Can you hurry and build more games so we can return. ⚡️

Thank you times nine! One for each game you've played! We're glad you had so much fun and you'll be happy to know we've already started on our next Space-themed room hopefully opening summer 2024. Then we have plans for 2 more Nottingham games.

Came to break escape Nottingham today to play their new game Sorcerers Sword. I have played multiple at the one in Loughborough and loved each one so had to come and try this one and it did not disappoint!! The puzzles were a good difficulty, not too easy to solve but took us a some time for figure out. The theming was unreal, it was atmospheric and the attention to detail was amazing. There’s absolutely nothing I could say to fault this room in any way. My friend and I had the most amazing time and I can’t thank our host Phoebe enough for her positivity and encouragement. She was so polite, enthusiastic and always happy to help if we got a little stuck so thank you Phoebe. We’ll definitely be back for the other rooms without a doubt!

Magical fun! We just managed to escape with the Sorceror's Sword but only just with a couple of minutes to spare...

The room itself was constructed to a fantastic standard, perfectly recreating the look and feel of a spooky back alley and mysterious shop, with of course, a hidden chamber...

The puzzles were highly entertaining and extremely varied, and where we did need a few clues from the snoozing wizard in the corner, the hints were still subtle enough to have us rubbing our collective heads together for a few minutes longer until we realised what we had to do!

We can't for their next room at this site to open, we will definitely be back!

We have played a few games at Break Escapes other branch in Loughborough and had always been impressed, so we had big expectations for their Nottingham branch, and it did not disappoint.

The game was beautiful, with excellent theming and intense attention to detail.
The puzzles were fabulous and pitched just right, not too easy but not ridiculously difficult and all very logical.

I was in love with this room from the moment I stepped in, such a pretty game that ticked all the puzzling boxes.

A perfect family friendly experience too, I would imagine that kids are going to love this magical experience

Visited Break Escape yesterday and had an absolutely brilliant experience - The welcome was so incredibly warm and right from the get go the game really draws you in. The creative use of the space really added to the room and I found the theming was always on point, carrying you through the different sections without feeling forced or unnecessary. The puzzles in this game were challenging but in a way that made them satisfying to complete, though our group did have an issue with a sensory puzzle (which while solvable did take us several minutes of incomprehension to process and we needed a firm nudge to find our way to the solution). We did appreciate though that clues were prompt when needed but that we had the opportunity to struggle, rather than being fed the answers to things before we got a grip on them.

Hearing that there are more games to come from the Nottingham Break Escape branch has me looking forward to when they can be played!

We booked the sorcerers sword for this past weekend and had a great time. Staff were really friendly and we chatted about other games we’ve played and also where else we should visit in the city.
Haven’t played too many before but looking forward to coming back here to try their others!

This place has to be seen to be believed. We have loved the games at the Loughborough venue, so knew we were in safe hands, but the quality of this game was amazing. The game was just the right balance of challenges and great effects. Cannot reccomend enough.
