    My friends and I did our first escape room here in 2019 as a team building activity by starting with Oculus (also amazing room). Since then we have been coming back to do the other rooms and we did the newest one - 13th floor today!! Greeted by Arron who came across as passionate and enthusiastic, made us feel very welcome. 😊 Really enjoyed this room. Not as scary as we thought it would be just a few jumpy bits but not scary. Great puzzles, great fun. Made it out with 13 minutes left. Will be coming back to do the tomb 2 to complete all the rooms. Can’t wait. Had great experiences with the team members who have looked after us previously and they all seem very informative and passionate. 👍
    Hi there, Thank you for your review. We are thrilled you enjoyed your experience once again with us. The 13th Floor definitely has some jumpy parts to it with a wide range of puzzles. Congratulations on escaping with so much time left! We are glad that Arron added to your visit also. The Tomb 2 has only been open for a few weeks now but has already had glowing reviews. We look forward to hosting you again soon.

    3 Visits + Counting, So Fun!
    Been here 3 times now. AMAZING. Rooms are individual and different. We have done Oculous, Cardiff Castle + Astro Quest now, and plan to do more. All are so interesting and fun, great to do with friends you know you can have a good time with and joke about how stressed you were afterwards. Staff are incredible, had a lovely woman hosting for us last time. Today we had Dom, such an enthusiastic and dedicated guy to his work, made our experience in Astro Quest much better!
    Thank you for the kind words. We are so glad you enjoyed yet another experience with us. Dom is a great member of staff, and we are glad he added to your experience. I would recommend doing our Zombie room "Z", its a fantastic room and we're sure you'll love it! We look forward to seeing you soon.

    Fantastic venue and slick running
    1st time attending an escape room. Well designed and helpful with prompts to keep the momentum. Grey was great in allowing us to have a great time. So much so, that we went again straight after. Lots of different rooms to try. Really enjoyable and would recommend. 2nd go was 25% off.
    Hi Craig! Thank you very much for leaving us a review! We're really happy you enjoyed your first escape room experience and we will pass on your kind words to Grey! We hope to see you again soon!

    Best escape rooms I've completed
    Oh my god. This is the most fun I have ever had!!! Jo our games master was so incredible guiding us round and the rooms are so beautiful and the technology is something I've never seen before. I am so impressed with these rooms, I wish I could write way more reviews if I could because I can't specify how great these rooms are!! I've completed 13 escape rooms prior to this and these are the best I've seen. Kudos to the crew and thanks again jo

    We had the best time ever playing AstroQuest!
    Had an amazing experience in the AstroQuest escape room on Saturday - we’ve never seen such an original set of challenges and storytelling! Arron was the best host! He gave us clever hints when we needed them and made the whole game entertaining and less stressful. As per the room - it had the perfect creative balance of puzzles and we were able to escape with just a couple of minutes to spare. Afterwards, we went for a delicious pizza at Franco Manca with a 15% discount which honestly made our night even better. Highly recommend! We’ll definitely be back to try out the Tomb 2! Thank you, Arron!

    Wow. Done lots of escape rooms, the theming was in another league.we called in on the off-chance that there would be availability and we were greeted by the extremely friendly Meg. She was so helpful and accomodating. We did the 13th floor and it was so inventive. Can't wait to go back with our son to try the other rooms!
    Hi Naomi, thank you very much for taking the time to leave such a great review. We will be sure to let Meg know of your feedback! We look forward to seeing you again soon for another challenge!

    The best escape rooms in Cardiff
    I love these escape rooms, definitely the best in Cardiff. We did the Tomb 2 tonight, and it was awesome!! Our host was Grey, who was fab and gave us little clues when we got a bit stumped! The setting of the room was really good, really atmospheric and felt a bit like we were in the Crystal Maze! We managed to escape with about 3 minutes to spare, and there were some really good challenges in the room. Can’t wait to come back to tick off the final room :)
    Hi there, thank you very much for taking the time to leave such a great review. We will be sure to let Grey know of your feedback! We look forward to seeing you again soon for your final room with us :)

    A fun night
    what a great, fun, night. We completed the Cardiff Castle room and then the Astro Quest room. Both were very good and we needed the occasional tip! Toni our gamesmaster was great, really enthusiastic and informative about the process of setting up and the work that goes in to make the games so successful. Would thoroughly recommend.
    Hi there, thank you for your kind review! We're happy to hear that you enjoyed escaping from The Cardiff Castle and Astro Quest, and we're glad that Toni could make it even better for you! We hope to see you again soon!

    10/10 for The 13th Floor and GM Jo!
    We visited tonight, hosted by the incredible Jo! (Thank you Jo!!) We played The 13th Floor, which was a really cool, unique game, and I've never played a theme like this before. GORGEOUS set design, just totally stunning. So so much work has clearly gone in to this room. All the puzzles were memorable, none of them were unfair, and I liked all of them individually as well as part of the game as a whole. I have no negative feedback at all. We are visiting again tomorrow and I'm really excited ♡
    Hi there! Thanks so much for your kind review, Jo will be chuffed to hear that you had a great time! Can't wait to see you again soon to take on your next challenge!

    An incredible experience ✨️
    Escape Rooms Cardiff is truly absolutely amazing. We played as a two, and each room was as breathtaking as the next! The attention to detail and the tasks are out of this world. No matter which room you pick, you're guaranteed an unforgettable time 🥰. A massive thank you to Jo and Grey, who both equally did an outstanding job hosting us, getting us in the mood, and most importantly, gave us the right amount of clues when needed! Both are a genuine delight to meet and speak to. Such a credit to the team. Can't wait to do more.

We took our 3 children, aged between 10 and 23, to do the Finding Sherlock room for our youngest's birthday. This was our third time to Escape Rooms Cardiff and it was fantastic. Lots of things to do to keep us busy and the kids loved it. Due to the pandemic we had to wear masks while we were in the building but it was all handled very well and there was plenty of hand gel throughout. Looking forward to our next visit already.

I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Our game host Grey, was friendly and happy to answer our questions and help us out every now and again. If you have teenagers or a large group of friends looking to do something interactive and entertaining, this is where you need to be.

For anyone worried about being locked in there is a 2 minuet video instructing you on all the exit buttons that you may press to leave at any time. However, if you get into the game that time will fly without you ever so much as looking at the exit. All rooms are temperature controlled which definitely made me feel more comfortable.

Really great fun for the whole group. We played the Tomb room with a group from 8-46 and everyone had a really great time. Enough of a challenge but still do-able for the little ones. A special thank you to Dom who was really lovely with our 8 year old who was a bit nervous before we went in- he explained what it was going to be like inside and that there would be no jump scares in this room. I thought that Dom had a really inclusive approach and was aware of all the things that he might need to say to a person who was feeling a bit anxious. Really was such great fun! We want to come back and do more rooms.

My friends and I visited the escape rooms while staying in Cardiff and just had the BEST time! We decided to go for the serial killer room which was 100% down our street and lots of fun. Our experience was made even better by our lovely host, Dom who made the whole thing a little more exciting. Covid rules are being maintained very well and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourself

Me, my brother and his 3 children (one 16 y/o, one 13 and one 11) went for an Escape Rooms Cardiff experience on December 24, 2019. We chose the “Finding Sherlock” room and had a wonderful, exciting time.

We arrived at the place 15 minutes or so before our schedule. We were warmly welcomed by the staff and were quickly given instructions. There were wire mesh lockers with padlocks where we were able to put our belongings, and toilets were also available. After watching a short video about Escape Room, which included safety instructions, we were ushered in to our room.

There was a small monitor where clues were displayed, and a timer and a light on top of the door. Red light means the door is closed; green means the door is open, you can escape, game over. The room was spacious for all five of us to move around, finding clues. It was well thought-of and cleverly designed and put together and all of us had fun solving the mystery!

We had a picture taken for souvenir when we got out of the room and were given badges for escaping! Everybody totally enjoyed the experience and my nephews and niece, even my brother, were all raving about it even after we’ve reached home. I’m so glad I thought of booking this!

What an amazing experience! We played the Cardiff Castle game and it was brilliant. Also our host Reilly was very enthusiastic and engaging. She really put in effort to make it a whole engaging experience with descriptions of the story and clear instructions and the game.

The design of Cardiff castle games was fantastic. It was immersive and created a feeling of so many different types of spaces. The puzzles were challenging but also achieviable. We went as a family and everyone could play a part including my 9 year niece.

It was a really great experience which I highly recommend!

We first found out about Escape Rooms Cardiff when we wanted something to do on a weekend off from work. Now, we are around 4 rooms deep! We have done Oculus, Finding Sherlock, Press Start and most recently the Cardiff Castle room. We always have an amazing experience and the prices are literally like no other. The value for money is literally amazing. On our last visit playing Cardiff Castle on Friday 3rd September 2021 at 3pm, Dom was our clue giver. He was really chill and awesome at explaining the game and all the backstory. He gave the right hints at the right times and also he knew about Heads Above The Wave of which I had a hoodie of which is very very cool! Obviously we will be coming back to do the remaining rooms and also to make Dom jealous of my hoody!:’)
P.S Dom is very cool:)!

We played the Z room, though most of us had never played before. Our guide was Dom who was a great laugh, full of banter and couldn’t do enough for us. The room itself was brilliant fun with plenty to get lost in, we almost made it! Big thanks to Dom for the hints along the way and for providing an excellent service under the Covid circumstances. 100% would recommend, expect to see us again soon!

We did the "Oculus" room which had a great atmosphere and excellent design, I was very impressed with how creepy it all was.

The puzzles were average in comparison to the many other rooms I have done and were quite difficult to figure out what actually was a puzzle to even get going.

Some of the puzzles did not work properly. This was a massive con for me, if your going to run an escape room, then make sure the materials work correctly. I cant list them all here without giving away the puzzles, but one i can mention was a number padlock that did not unlock no matter how many times I entered the correct code, then randomly it just worked after wasting 10 mins on it. Making sure it wasn't just me being stupid, I asked the game master at the end to check it and she couldn't get it to open either. I also checked the other puzzles with her and they too didn't work properly.

They do not have a difficulty rating on the website for each room which is something they could do with to help people choose a room that is right for them. As it was my girlfriends second time doing an escape room I'd have preferred to have done an easier one with her, but im pretty sure that was one of the hardest rooms I have done, not all for the right reasons though.

The game master Kenzie was great and very friendly. She was on the ball with giving us hints during the game without us even asking, showing she was paying attention and could see when we needed a hint.

I would happily go back again, but hope they sort the puzzles out to make sure they definitely work or buy new props.

We visited as a group of 4 on Valentines night and we had an absolutely amazing time. The whole experience was professional and the staff were great. We had originally booked and paid for 6 but 2 were unable to come, we assumed we would lose the money but they offered it to us as a gift card to use another time which was absolutely great and completely unexpected.

We did the Z room and it was great fun. The clues were great at getting your mind going and we all thoroughly enjoyed. We will definitely we back soon!
