- Mike H9 contributionsA fantastic escape room, with an excellent host.A fantastic escape room, with an excellent host. After getting stuck in Swindon due to train cancellations and delays, we managed to get a last minute booking at Incarcerated, and completed Conspiracy - Agenda 21. It was an excellent room, the puzzles were novel, varied, and a good level of challenging. There were plenty of wow moments, and the theming and set dressing was great. Given the room was made in 2018, it holds out very well against more recent rooms - and is suspiciously prescient about events of 2020! We had a great time, and spent a long time talking with the owner afterwards, which is always a pleasure, and a benefit of a non chain room, created and run lovingly. Very happy to take second place on the two-player leaderboard, and will definitely return to do the upcoming rooms (maybe not via train!)An extra thank you for the lovely review and for posting it on both Google and TripAdvisor. We really appreciate the extra effort to help a small businessWritten 15 December 2023This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited December 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 11 December 2023
- Deb W1 contributionGreat for a party of teens!It was my son's 16th birthday, he had a really great time and it was a fantastic way for a party of teens to spend an hour! The host was excellent at responding to email communication. We will definitely be back for my daughter's birthday. Thank you 🙏🏻Thank you for dropping us a review Deb, it was a lot of fun locking the birthday gang in together, they are a very funny bunch. I think they surprised themselves with just how clever they are when they made it out within the 60 minutes.Written 12 February 2024This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited January 2024Travelled with friendsWritten 11 February 2024
- Andrew LSwindon, United Kingdom211 contributionsEscape Room in SwindonThe game was good fun although we did need a few tips to get through within the hour. We worked as a couple and we found it quite a good test of our teamwork. We look forward to playing more games like this.Thank you for the kind review, we try our best to give every team an exciting escape and you only needed a couple clues to make it all the way through. We hope to lock you up again soon.Written 1 April 2024This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited March 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 27 March 2024

- KirstyWest1998London, United Kingdom4 contributionsApril escapeThis was possibly the best escape room we have done we have done both of the rooms here and they are amazing. Not your typical escape rooms where it is all padlocks and keys, there are extra activities that you have to do to be able to get into places the rooms are amazing and actually make you feel like you’re in the scenario that is set out. The hosts are so friendly and welcoming! The clues that you’re given are also really good as they still make you think and don’t give away the obvious answerThank you for the glowing review Kirsty. Your game master Aaron made a note that you were a lovely team and only needed five clues to escape from Conspiracy: Agenda 21, the average is 18. We're hard at work building a new game so we hope to lock you up again soon.Written 6 April 2024This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited April 2024Travelled with friendsWritten 5 April 2024
- Emmeke v3 contributionsGreat puzzles, super fun, good for team buildingI went with a group of 5 colleagues and we played the Agenda 21 room. 2 of the group had never done an escape room. The puzzles were hard but doable - the balance was perfect for us. The host was incredibly nice and welcoming, and answered all our questions afterwards. The experience was very immersive, we had no idea how long we'd been and we got really into solving all the puzzles and trying out all the things! The level of hints was perfect for us. We were all absolutely buzzing afterwards. I would really recommend Incarcerated for groups of colleagues who want to do a bit of team building. We all want to come back and try the other room!Thank you so much for your lovely review Emmeke, it really bolsters our morale to know you all had a fantastic escape. Motivates us to build something even more amazing. Truly you have brightened my rainy Sunday and I look forward to locking your team in The Tortured Soul.Written 28 April 2024This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited April 2024Travelled on businessWritten 26 April 2024
- Sarah M1 contributionOur tortured souls has the best time !!!We had the best time doing the Tortured Souls room as a family of 4 (2 adults & 2 kiddos). Simon was hilarious and really made the whole experience fun. The rooms were tricky (he didn't lie at the briefing!) but with a little help over the radio on 2 o a couple of occasions we made it out with 27 Seconds to spare! Will definitely be back to do the other room soon.Thank you for the lovely review Sarah and well done on a narrow escape! You all worked so well together, at least until that moment when Dad locked his children in a dark room with an evil spirit on the loose. I look forward to your next adventure.Written 30 August 2024This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited August 2024Travelled with familyWritten 29 August 2024
- Alfie B1 contributionExcellent room with good scares and incredible puzzlesI have done around 15 escape rooms across the world, and this one is easily up there with the best. We did the ‘tortured soul’ room. The theming is incredible, the suspense is so frightening, but the main feature i loved was the intelligence of the puzzles and how they fit into the story perfectly. We will be coming back to do another room, especially since our game guide was so friendly and seemed to love what he does, which is a huge positive. Thanks for the experience, but we hate you for scaring us like that!!! definitely recommend.Thank you for the great review and well done on a challenging escape! We really appreciate a team who can get immersed in a game. Dig the spooky vibs, talk to the ghosts and feel that shiver run up your spine. It was wonderful to meet you both and I hope to lock you again the next time you're venturing to London.Written 12 September 2024This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited September 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 9 September 2024

I spent a very pleasant hour here with my daughter son in law and teenage grandchildren. It was a great experience for everyone. The clues needed some thinking about but when we were really stuck we were given some extra help which meant we didn’t waste too much time before we could move on. I would definitely recommend this as good outing for the whole family

Having done c15 escape rooms, this one ranks well up there with the best. We did Conspiracy - Agenda 21. Whilst it was on the easier side of spectrum (we escaped in 40 minutes), the room had a good flow and clever puzzles with great electronics (which I really enjoy). I'd very much recommend this room.

Thank you for lovely review, we are very happy to hear you had a great time escaping our Conspiracy game. We always try to make sure our games fit a theme, immerse the players and keep a couple of surprises up our sleeve. If you like tech in your games I'd recommend our ghost story, The Tortured Soul, as it has no padlocks!

Really good fun experience. The venue appeared a little run down from the outside but the waiting room and escape rooms were brilliant. The room was very challenging but support was good and room challenging but not impossible. It was enjoyed by kids and adults alike. Reasonable value for money as well and there are also nearby places for a meal/drinks and parking afterwards.

We did the Agenda 21 escape room and the team were great, the escape room had many different components that kept surprising us (I won't give anything away) and we had a great time. We did this with a team of work colleagues and had a great time. Would thoroughly recommend and might be back soon for the other room...

Hello,
We price ourselves as competitively as possible within the escape room industry, you will find both cheaper and more expensive around the country.
As for why, we have to support quite an infrastructure to ensure that we can run games, we are always either developing new rooms or looking at rolling over existing rooms and of course we have to pay our staff, broadband, rent and all of the other bills!
