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.

Fantastic visit to HOUNDS again - staff are fantastic and always make us feel welcome, not a bad escape room here and we’ve done around 50 collectively! Very much recommended!

We've done a fair few escape rooms and find that sometimes they're all about the puzzles with little thought behind the theme/design and at others it can be all style over substance.
The Hounds absolutely nailed it on both as it had a great mix of puzzles and the design of the room (Explorers diary) was amazing! Clearly a lot of thought had gone into the room as a whole and we absolutely rated it as one of the best we've done so far.
The venue as a whole needs a mention too. On the street level you may just wander past but don't be fooled, upstairs is a well designed, well presented bar and room setup.
The staff were also spot on and the young guy presenting our escape room was firmly in character and added to the overall feel and emersion in the game.
We will be 100% be coming back for the other two rooms. Loved it!

Great experience, I've played a decent number of escape rooms with the group I went with, and Hounds adds a very unique twist to them. The production values are among the best I've seen and the fact that the host (Aimee for us, she was excellent) was in character the whole time made the whole thing feel that bit more special. I'm sure I'll be coming again soon.

First class escape room. Greeted by friendly staff, in The Kennel Club which is a well decorated cocktail bar serving an array of moonshine cocktails and other drinks.
We completed the Explorers Diary and Amy/Beatrice was a fantastic host. Her fun, energy and theatrical comments made the escape game even better.
The escape game itself was such good quality. Professional and the effects and content was such a high standard.
Highly recommend this game, we’ve done a lot of escape rooms/games and this is definitely in our top three. We will be returning to do the others very soon.

Good fun, suitable for all ages. Ross (Toots fartly) was a good host. Birthday treat for our 12 year old was nice.

Sooo much fun again! This time round we completed the explorers diary. Perfectly designed room I love all the extra details and surprises throughout the game! We found ourselves going 'wow this is so cool' so many times!

My husband and I really enjoyed the Questionable Ethics room. We have done over 100 rooms before, and while I don't think the room had any really unique puzzles that we hadn't seen before, it was very immersive and a fun enjoyable room to do. We escaped with about 14 minutes to spare, with a little help at times. Our GM Arnold was great, his acting and Russian accent was superb, and he was good at complying with our request of giving us hints that weren't too obvious. We liked the little debrief after the room with bonus points awarded for doing certain things. We hope to return to do more rooms at Hounds.

🌟5/5🌟
I was able to experience this as one of my birthday gifts with my girlfriend and it didn’t disappoint..
I’d never tried an ‘Escape Room’ experience before until recently but this place definitely set the bar high.
The aspect that stood out tall among the whole experience was the performance given by our actor ‘Katiya’.
She never broke character (playing a ‘Russian Agent’) once and always had you engaged to the fullest with great comedy throughout.
The ‘Escape Room’ itself had multiple “Brain Fart” inducing moments to make you question your intelligence at times (not eluding to anyone). Such a great way to put an individuals ‘Team Skills’ to the test due to the various amount of creative puzzles there are to accomplish.
Upon entering you’ll notice that it shares the upstairs space with a small bar - aesthetic. Open to the general public but seems to be a “If you know, you know” situation the decor in the room and the lighting is just spot on! Super relaxing and just a great place to get a drink.
I don’t even drink myself but I wouldn’t hesitate to have a bevvy if it needed further discussion
Overall, it’s defiantly worth the visit as there are also multiple ‘Escape’ experiences to try out in the future.

We had a great time this evening conquering Questionable ethics. Katya/ Izzy was an amazing actor, made us laugh and I'm sure she loved my banter and watching us dance in the room 🤣 this was our first experience at hounds and it didn't disappoint. We will be back for another experience soon.

Brilliant, very enjoyable night out. Have done many escape rooms but this escape room immersive experience tops them all. Had a great time and will be back to do the other rooms.
