- Daniel M1 contributionGreat fun!We picked this as part of a Stag Do so we had teams of 3 and 4 doing the Dark Arts and Frankenstein. Both teams having hardly any experience but had a brilliant time and we escaped both rooms with just minutes left on the clock. The rush at the end was brilliant and there was no filler just an hour of puzzles and constant dopamine hits throughout. The reception chap was spot on so would absolutely recommend.Visited January 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 15 January 2023
- Matthew T1 contributionGreat fun for everyoneVisited Breakout games 3 times during a family visit to Aberdeen. The games a really good fun and well thought out. The staff are super friendly and very informative. They are also great at providing clues when you get stuck or spending too much time trying to solve a puzzle. I would highly recommend Breakout games. Great fun for everyone!Visited April 2023Written 13 April 2023
- Katharine H4 contributionsGreat activity for getting a group together!We went to the Breakout Games for my daughter's birthday party, we were a mixed age group (10-50 yo) but it didn't matter - there was something for everyone to do. The staff were friendly and helpful, the venue was clean and well laid out and the rooms themselves were great! We can't wait to go back and do some more!Visited June 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 19 June 2023
- caroline m95 contributionsDefinitely going backWe had the best time. We didn't succeed but we had so much fun trying. The clues were tricky but obvious when you got them. Booking was so easy and the staff were exceptionally helpful. Arrival and check in to the room so easy. We are planning our next date to go back.Visited July 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 2 July 2023
- Kaz ALondon, United Kingdom30 contributionsEscape roomHad the best day! 1st time doing an Escape room. Chris was really nice, helpful. The room was really fun and challenges the brain. Good for the family especially if you have older kids keeps them busy. However hanging head in shame we did one of the easier rooms and didn't manage to escape. Fabulous and well worth the money. Defo be back to escape next time. Hidden gem in Aberdeen. AWESOME 😎Visited July 2023Travelled with familyWritten 8 July 2023

- K S17 contributionsAmazon Lost treasureWe really enjoyed the jungle theme but just took too long on the puzzles being only two of us. It was very sequential meaning we were only ever working on one thing at once. Often in other escape rooms we found lots of different things and not known what to do with them. We liked the fact that we had to work together in order to achieve a couple of the results. We didn’t ask for a clue and probably should have done but the man gave us one when he could see we were struggling.Visited August 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 17 August 2023
- Jam3 contributionsAwesome. 100% would go again.Really fun. Lots of interactive puzzles with props instead of full of maths and padlocks. Finished a bit too quickly though, wish there were more. The ending could be a tad more dramatic to really signified that you'd escaped. Perhaps a little mechanism that pushes the door open at the end or a loud click would be nice.Visited October 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 23 October 2023

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Myself, my husband and our 2 friends decided to book the dark arts room. Only my friend had done an escape room before so the rest of us were total newbies.
What a laugh we had though! The room was awesome, the puzzles were brilliant and with each of us playing to our strengths we managed to escape with just minutes to spare! I dont want to say too much on here and spoil it for anyone else...but I'd 100% go back and book another room!
There's always someone on hand to give you a hint should you need one and for those of you that worry like I did, the door never actually locks so you can leave at any point should you feel the need to.
My only real advice would be to make sure there's more than just a couple of you if you're doing a room. The more heads involved in solving the puzzles...the better! So get booked and enjoy!

A very fun escape game centered around magic, with some potential clues for those muggles who have peeredinto the wizard's world. But make sure than some of your group or not just limber of mind but also of body.

coming from elgin, is it easier to catch a train or a bus and then walking from there??
Ryan D
Aberdeen, UK38 contributions
Yes! The City train and bus stations are linked to Union Square shopping mall and it's only just a 5 minute walk from there. If you don't know where it is, it might be hard to find though!

Yes you need to. There are limited slots so unless you are very flexible you may be disappointed.

Which rooms do you recommend for first timers with 9 and 12 years plus 2 adults? We like a challenge but we don't want to feel it is impossible. Thanks

Is there a minimum size of group, we only have 2, and was also wondering if we could just show up on the day and get in or if a booking is required
Are all the games okay for pregnant women?
Hollie K
Banchory, Scotland, United Kingdom15 contributions
Hi Jasmine,
We don't have any issues with pregnant women playing our escape games and there are no physically demanding elements in any of the rooms. We would suggest using your own judgement if you are close to your due date when it comes to getting your adrenaline going but if you are comfortable to play then there's not an issue.
Hope this helps
