Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
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.

An absolutely brilliant escape room perfect for family groups with a highly entertaining introduction by the guide and a room with lots of different types of challenging using all your skills and senses. It was a fun and entertaining hour.

My group had a fantastic experience at Padlox! We were a group of 5 doing the superhero room and it was extremely fun :) The room is amazingly detailed, definitely the best escape room I've done! The game master was amazing and explained everything perfectly. I'm looking forward to trying another room!

Went recently as a team of two to do the Superhero Training Academy and we enjoyed it so much we immediately did the other one as well!
We have a reasonable amount of experience with escape rooms and found it was a good challenge for us. I think it would also be really good for larger teams of people who are fairly/totally new to them.
Shout out to Bastien who was a great GM for both games - very welcoming and gave us the perfect level of help to get us through our dumbest moments!
Not the highest quality of set-dressing, but it was really fun and engaging - which I infinitely prefer to beautiful-but-boring rooms! (Please do mark up the Emergency Exit doors with a little sign or something though - Bastien did a great job of explaining about them, but they should be labelled).

Had the pleasure to do an escape room with a couple of friends on Monday and it was absolutely one of the most amazing days. Konstantin was the one that explained to us how it worked and he was a delight! Best host we could have asked for! Made it so fun for us and made us involved. Definitely suggest to go visit them, we will for sure go back!

Excellent price and customer service. Also just a super fun escape room. We did the super hero one, that was very fun. The staff were great at explaining how it would work and only gave clues when we were really stuck. The puzzles were appropriately challenging. We were a group of 5 people and that was a good size.

This escape room was perfect for families so that everyone is included and has enjoyment out of the experience.
Other escape rooms require tasks to be done in a particular order and usually one of our family members takes the lead and solves the challenges before the rest of us get there. This escape room allowed several tasks to be done at the same time so everyone in the group had an opportunity to complete tasks and feel like a contribution was made to the overall experience.
There were lots of different challenges and a wide range of tasks to those I have seen in other escape rooms. The challenges were colour coded which helped us work out how to proceed when things got a bit tricky.
The host was fantastic and we all had a great time. Would highly recommend this family experience.

I run a social group for teens with autism and we visited Padlox on a Saturday evening. We were greeted by Bastien, who was exceptionally patient and took the time to answer lots of questions to prepare our group. We went in and managed to solve loads of puzzles, with some helpful hints from him. Although we didn't quite make it, the teens had a fabulous time and showed great teamwork skills. I would highly recommend the Superhero experience! Thanks you and keep up the good work!!

Padlox hosted my son's 12th birthday celebration and we were delighted by the whole experience!
Two teams of six 12 and 13 year-olds plus an adult in each room series followed by a mini buffet and snacks afterwards.
The experience was flawless rom start to finish with helpful, friendly staff guiding and assisting us all.
The Superheroes experience rooms we completed were challenging, varied and most of all FUN!
Brilliant experience and thank you so much to the Padlox team!

Friendly welcoming staff and a great time training to be super heroes. A wide range of different tasks at differing levels of difficulty. Lots of fun, frustration and elation. Hopefully be back one day for the other room.

Would it be good for 2 12 yr olds and a 15 yr old?
Could they contribute?

Yes, my kids were 12 and 16 and they were both able to contribute to the variety of tasks. Lots of challenges and at times they were working on different ones independently. We did the Superhero room.
