- Kate S14 contributionsAmazing escape roomWe have completed all 3 rooms at Enigma Wakefield with Ava as our games master for them. This is an excellent set up, challenging puzzles with just the right amount of pressure! Seance was terrifying and really cool, the Wonderland one was so fun and Murder Motel was also tough but really fun! Ava is so good at setting the atmosphere and controlling the game, we absolutely loved it and are sad to have done all 3 so can’t return until the new room opens, but we will definitely be back when it does!Visited March 2024Travelled with friendsWritten 10 March 2024
- Teresa15 contributionsAmazing experience, highly recommendableSuch a great experience at the Murder Motel. We have been to quite a few escape rooms in other cities, but this was one of the best! Ava (our guide) was friendly, helpful and explained everything very well. The puzzles were challenging, but great fun. The room props were amazing too. Highly recommendable hour of entertainment.Visited March 2024Travelled with familyWritten 16 March 2024
- Tasha4253Manchester, United Kingdom26 contributionsA spookily good experience!We had a fab time taking on Seance, even if we didn't escape! Our gamemaster Kieran was really friendly and set up the scene really well, and the room was great. The atmosphere was spooky, the storyline was good, and the jump scares/lighting made it extra creepy. I would definitely make a return visit to try out the other rooms!Visited April 2024Travelled with friendsWritten 14 April 2024
- Julie H6 contributionsGreat experience!!This was our third visit here and again didn't disappiont. Four of us played Seance - absolutely brilliant, very cleverly put together. We screamed, shouted and nearly cried - not for the faint hearted! These are some of the best escape rooms we have played.Visited April 2024Travelled with familyWritten 19 April 2024
- Anita W1 contributionGreat escape room experienceFirst visit to Enigma Rooms in Wakefield for 3 adults and 2 children (10&14yr). Had a great time trying to escape from wonderland, sadly we didn’t get out but had fun trying. The puzzles were well thought out, not too cryptic. Games hosts were suitably helpful. We really enjoyed our time.Visited October 2024Travelled with familyWritten 20 October 2024
- sharonPontefract, United Kingdom99 contributionsTeam night outNever done this and goodness I’m glad I did !!! Such fun ! Very good customer service and attention to detail. It was well thought out Safety talk etc it all felt so right - Would highly recommend and our team already planning a return.Visited November 2024Travelled with friendsWritten 16 November 2024
- Guy Neilson23 contributionsSimply Amazing RoomWhat a Beautiful Room, the theming, gameplay and puzzles are all so well done. It felt we were in an adventure as part of the story and we enjoyed it so so much. There was plenty left that we will need to return and do being a two and there are not many rooms you would want to do that with so well done designers. Really recommended for all levels as you will enjoy and be challenged no matter what experience you have because of the clever way the game has been designed. Congratulations Enigma WakefieldVisited December 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 26 December 2024
- Bex PDoncaster, United Kingdom190 contributionsAmazing Rooms & TeamHaving done 3 rooms here previously we returned for the Christmas room and the new Grimm room. As usual the hosts Kieran and Lucy were fab and so enthusiastic about their rooms. The christmas room was loads of fun! The Grimm room is something a bit different to their other rooms, with longer to complete it plus additional puzzles. I LOVED this room! I've never known a room have so many puzzles and so much detail! The skill involved in creating a room like this is amazing!! Well done to everyone involved!! 10/10 5*Visited December 2024Travelled with familyWritten 5 January 2025

We took on all three Escape Wakefield rooms today and had a great time! All three rooms are very different and each present a different challenge. Seance is a very different room to most and the nerves start way before you enter the room! I've never screamed so much but the room itself is very clever and extremely well thought out! All the rooms are. Lucy & Kieran are a great team and are very welcoming (and Lucy is very reassuring when you're having a freak out about Seance, Kieran not so much 😂)
Would highly recommend the venue, team and rooms!

Six of us played the seance room with Kieran as our host. We had read the reviews before playing, which made my wife and daughter (who’s 25) terrified before we even started!
We had an amazing time, plenty of screaming and hiding, but loads of laughing and fun.
It was the best escape room I have done and would recommend it to everyone.
My wife came out having loved every minute of it!!
Kieran was a brilliant host and we even managed to escape with a minute to go!!
Enigma Wakefield is a fantastic venue which is well worth a visit!!

Seance is definitely the best room I have ever done! Right from the briefing you're already feeling a sense of dread for what's to come, the whole atmosphere created throughout the game lives up to the horror rating! Truly a terrifying experience (I have never screamed so loud)
We stayed afterwards to do the Murder Motel room as well which was also excellent - a room with more traditional puzzles and padlocks, etc. and a more chilled vibe which we needed to calm down after Seance.
We had a lovely host, Kieran, who you can tell very much enjoys the work. We will definitely be returning to do the Wonderland room at some point!

Seance is a fantastic experience. Lots of atmosphere, scares and giggles throughout. A really well designed room with puzzles that fit the theme and were logical when you found the time to think. Brilliant, highly recommended, well done Kieron and Lucy

We played the Seance room and all I can say is that it’s brilliant.
This is not like your other typical escape rooms (we’ve played a lot). As soon as you start your briefing room is part of the set/escape room which makes it flow so much better. The room itself is great and well laid out and everything logically flows from one clue to the next.
The additional of a life actor is fantastic! We had Kieran who was amazing and did a real good job of giving us a fright! I’ve never heard my sister scream so much!
The best thing about this room is that it’s just not a series of padlocks and locks etc, while these are included in the game, your actions trigger things to happen/clues to appear etc, so it’s not all just focused on finding numbers like other escape games.
This room is well worth a play especially if you’ve got someone in your party who is jumpy/easily scared. But be warned it’s not for the faint hearted!

So we were due to only play Escape from Wonderland but due to Séance being available we also played that afterwards, but more on that later.
I adored the theming for Escape from Wonderland, cleverly hidden puzzles, wonderful set and quite a few puzzles that I'd never seen before either. Absolute props to our hosts! (My friend Emma lost our card for this room and I have the memory of a goldfish so I am so so sorry I can't remember your names 😔), clues at the right time, very engaging before and after, and a general delight to talk to!
But the highlight for me, was Séance. We were taken to our briefing room by Kieran (didn't lose that card), who from his nervous brief (on purpose) to his engagement with us throughout the room, was incredible. You can tell he has a passion for this and that he is good at it. But that goes for both him and [insert name here], you could tell she also very much enjoyed what she did.
Séance was a beautiful room, there were no safe spaces and the story was rich. Absolutely would recommend!

Brilliantly well thought out rooms, definitely worth a visit!
We completed all 3 of Enigma Wakefield’s rooms, Murder Hotel was my favourite - loved the story and creepiness and everything made sense. Wonderland was very fun and had a lot of slightly trickier puzzles that fit the theme. Seance was something else entirely. I was absolutely terrified, it was so atmospheric and a lot of work had gone in to make it so clever and immersive. Absolutely worth a try even if you’re a massive wuss like me!
We had a good chat with Kieran the owner who was so friendly and helpful and did the story briefings perfectly for each game. We’ll be back for your next room 😊 thanks!

The room was brilliant, the host was wonderful and obviously loves what he does.
All the theming was great, the decor was spot on. It was more than difficult enough to challenge us (3 adults) and we escaped just in time with more than a little help!
We will definitely be back to do their others, and have recommended the Alice in Wonderland room so everyone I see!
We were given plenty of time to chat and take photos afterwards, and everything was throughly cleaned in between as well as social distancing and other covid safe measures being in place.

What a great day we had at Enigma…we successfully completed all 3 rooms and we had so much fun. All 3 rooms are completely different to each other. Escape from Wonderland was fantastic and introduced us to a few new puzzles we had yet to see in our previous 30 rooms. Murder Motel was another great room. Set design was spot on and completely immersive. Last but not least was Seance…this room was mind blowing! Not only was the room design amazing, it was super clever too. It kinda made you feel like you were in a real life movie….word of warning though…DO NOT try this room if you are easily scared. It is definitely in our top 3 rooms.
10/10 guys for a fantastic experience!!!

Is it suitable for young children aged 8-10 accompanied by adults?
Written 18 August 2019
We have three rooms to choose from. Seance and Murder Motel are not suitable for children that age. However, Escape from Wonderland is very accessible for younger players with adult support. Thank you for your question.
