- Tracey S10 contributionsSuch fun!This was our first escape room experience, and we can't wait to go again! We were made to feel really welcome by the professional friendly staff. They explained the game and storyline to us, and checked to see if we were all ok with strobe lighting before we began. The game challenged us as a team and we were steered back on course with a hint or two when we went off track. The props and rooms created an atmosphere that was perfect for the game. Whoever painted all those numbers on the wall deserves a medal! It was an absolutely brilliant experience and I would highly recommend it.Thank you for such a lovely review. We're thrilled you enjoyed your experience with us and would love to see you again soon!Written 16 February 2024This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited February 2024Travelled with friendsWritten 14 February 2024
- Lee W1 contributionGreat Experience, Well Constructed Escape RoomReally well constructed room with an excellent mix of thought processes and actions required. Very friendly, welcoming staff (thanks Lewis). One of the best we've done. We needed a couple of clues but that didn't detract from actually escaping with 2 seconds to go!! Still felt like an achievement. Highly recommended.Thank you for taking your time to leave us a review. We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed The Secret of the Tomb. I will pass your kind comments on to Lewis and we hope to see you again soon.Written 10 May 2024This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited April 2024Travelled with friendsWritten 30 April 2024
- Claire W11 contributionsA not to be missed escape room experience!Lewis welcomed us to the escape rooms and was the perfect host; warm and helpful, funny and helped just enough to keep us going to the end! We escaped with seconds to go but had the best time. Hard enough to give you the satisfaction of a win but also interesting as each puzzle was unique! A must do game, cant wait for the new room to open soon!Thanks very much for the lovely review. We're delighted you enjoyed the experience and were well looked after by Lewis.

- Andrew MSuffolk, United Kingdom34 contributionsYou don't need the kids - just a sense of funThis was a family outing for a 23rd birthday celebration. It was a first escape room encounter for the parents, but the young people had quite a bit of experience between them. We were all very impressed with The Secret of the Tomb and with the warm welcome we received from our guide, Lewis. The room itself presented many exciting challenges for us and, although we needed three clues, the fact that they were quite cryptic still made it feel like a real achievement to escape with less than a minute to spare! There were plenty of mental and physical challenges for us to overcome and we were all able to contribute in various ways to our overall success. Thank you for a fun, family experienceThanks very much for the lovely review. We're delighted you enjoyed the experience and would love to see you again soon.Written 2 June 2024This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited May 2024Travelled with familyWritten 28 May 2024

Did the Secret Clubhouse on 1st Sept with my partner and my 15 year old son.
The game design itself was good. But the whole experience was a let down because at the start of the game the member of staff told us she would give us clues if she felt we needed them. For the entire game we received virtually no help even when we were asking for it. It was also very frustrating because there was no countdown clock available so we never knew how much time we had left.
When we got locked in we were amazed to discover that we were less than halfway into the game. Clearly we had needed far more help than we got. If you're really struggling and get zero help then the game is zero fun which is what happened. It also felt like our host was in a major hurry to get rid of us at the end.
We have been to other escape rooms before and have completed them with clues so it's not like we were complete newbies. This was by far the worst experience. Wouldn't recommend to anyone unless your team are professionals.

Sorry for the delay in replying to your review. I'm very sorry that you were disappointed by the staff member and overall experience. There should have been a countdown clock, but upon investigation I believe it stopped working for your game - this has since been fixed. It seems like more help certainly should have been offered. I'm not sure why it wasn't and can only apologise. If you would like to discuss further, please email me at info@ipswichescaperooms.co.uk

The Escape rooms at this franchise are always great, we visited one in Cambridge last year and so good. Me and my girlfriend both visited Ipswich last Sunday afternoon and had so much fun, the staff are very friendly and make the experience so much better. Thank you, will be coming again soon :)

For the majority of our group this was our first time doing an escape room and we all had a brilliant time! Lots of different puzzles to try and figure out. Will definitely be booking up the next room which is currently being developed. Thanks for a great time!

This was our first time at an Escape Room, we didn’t think we’d be any good but we did escape! The young lady who greeted us and talked us through everything was very helpful, friendly and informative. The room really got us thinking and was very cleverly done. We can’t wait to try the new room currently under construction!

Dean,
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us such a kind review! We appreciate it greatly. We are delighted that you found the content of the game to be fun and challenging for all experience levels as most of our customers are new to escape rooms, but with there growing popularity we are seeing the arrival of more experienced players.
Thanks again for your review, and we would love to see you all again soon.

Ipswich Escape Rooms are easy to get to being less than 5 minutes off of the A14. They have plenty of customer parking and the staff were well organised and prepared for the arrival of my three teenagers (15,16,19) and myself.
This was a Christmas gift for my family and although the tight-wad in me balked at the £76 for an hour's amusement I came away from the experience feeling value-for-money was most definitely there. The online website was thorough with plenty of information, pricing options at £ 52/66/76/85/96 .depending on the team sizes of 2/3/4/5/6 people. The post code worked correctly in our sat-nav which is always a blessing when heading somewhere new in an unfamiliar area.
We completed the Secret Clubhouse challenge in a smidge under an hour and were very glad that staff were able to help us a couple times with hints. It was only a couple times we were stuck - honestly! ;-p The challenge was actually a variety of challenges to discover clues, find keys, hack codes and use some kewl props to reveal hidden leads. The Secret Clubhouse comprised 4 rooms of varying sizes which were well appointed with props and a balance of challenges, some skill, some mental, etc.
It was my family's first time, it was a super time, and definitely won't be our last time!
Thoroughly recommend it for anyone who enjoys relaxing with others.
Definitely a 'must-do' at least once and perfect for wet weather and special occasions.
I'm glad we booked in advance as Ipswich Escape Rooms are very popular.

Maple Lad,
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed and amazing review. I remember you and your children coming to visit us and it was such a pleasure to hear such enthusiasm when talking to you guys afterwards.
As mentioned when you were here we are working on a new game and would love to see you return and test yourselves in a new challenge. I feel that we may have created some new fans of the escape room concept and that is great news for us.
Thanks again
