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.

Myself and a couple of friends played this one Friday evening. I’ve played a couple of escape room before but didn’t know what to expect from a virtual one. Emma was behind the camera with just her hands visible, a great host showing us around the clues and guiding the camera to where we wanted to look.
After a few minutes you are completely immersed in the puzzles and barely notice that it is Emma doing the handiwork rather than yourself!
One tip for future guests is to print off the documents you are sent before the game (don’t spoil it for yourself by looking!) as it would be handy to have them in front of you as your looking at the screen. I had to resize the screens so I could look both on my small laptop screen which worked, but slowed us down!
Thank you Emma, we really enjoyed!

We played the virtual 'The Crime of the Century' game over Zoom. Emma was a great host, moving objects around, and positioning the camera to see more detail. Despite being on the other end of an internet connection it very quickly became normal seeing everything on a screen, and objects were positioned well so that everything important was in frame at the same time. Additionally, for our team of 5 this was very reasonably priced.
A great way to get together with friends over lockdown, can't wait to visit in person.

Our first virtual escape room experience didn’t disappoint. Emma was a great host and happy to help when we needed clues. It was easy to set up and print off any necessary clues before the game started. I’m surprised how immersive the virtual game was. Will definitely do this again and will recommend to others who’d like something different to do for an hour. Thanks Emma

A great escape room experience, we played Crime of the Century and were thoroughly impressed with the organisation of the experience and our Games Master Emma. Considering the limitations of this being a virtual experience, we were surprised at the level of thrill and immersion. Great value for money too. Highly Recommended.

We have been told that ClueCrypted’s escape room is fantastic, so we had hoped to visit while on holiday, but thought Covid might prevent us and we were right – it was closed. Then we saw their virtual game ‘Crime of the Century’.
We booked this for the last afternoon of our holiday, but were karting beforehand and this way over-ran. I called Gemma on their contact line and she very kindly allowed us to move our slot to the next day, when we played from the comfort of home.
Armed with pen and paper, we had some information to print out and the challenge was on. The host acts as your hands for the whole hour as you ask her to try the codes you come up with and gather clues and Emma who was our lead was fantastic. It was a bit deep for some of us, and at first we struggled, but once a couple of clues were solved, we were gripped. We solved the crime with just 14 seconds to spare!
This was a totally absorbing experience and a great idea. We look forward to them creating some more adventures and we will definitely be signing up. The beauty of this virtual play is that you can be anywhere as long as you have zoom.
A unique experience.

The "Crime of the Century" virtual escape room is excellent! Emma was our guide and was also excellent (and even afforded us a few extra minutes to get through to the end). I don't know how you could do it better in the current environment.
Very fun and worth the time/money while you're looking for something different to do at home right now!

Brilliant virtual escape room. Ayla, our hands and eyes, was superb! Felt like a real room. We did it just in time, and came away with a great feeling of satisfaction, just like a real room. Very tense!

Fantastic evening playing Crime of the Century.... we've done lots of escape rooms and given the current circumstances this is as close as you can get to a physical room. Brilliantly hosted, great puzzles, like the fact you can print off some of the documents so it was easier to see them when a few of us round a screen. played with 15 or old son with us, and older son in a different city. It was so lovely to be able to have a family 'night out'. Thoroughly recommend. Thank you Cluecrypted.

Last night we played the virtual Crime of the Century game with two friends. I was unsure, at first, how the escape room would play out as you control your 'avatar' however everything worked perfectly. Our host explained all the rules and set the scene and then worked as our 'hands' to pick up, explore and try any combinations we suggested. We thought the difficulty level was pitched perfectly with just enough challenge but nothing that would leave you frustratingly stumped. It was something a little different to the usual quizzes etc we've played during lockdown. We thoroughly enjoyed playing it and would highly recommend trying it to anyone.

Is this suitable for children, ages 8 and 10 or would it be a bit too much?

Hi Colin.
The recommended minimum age for our escape room is 14 years of age. However, we are happy for younger children to participate in the experience under the supervision of a suitable adult. Whilst most of the puzzles would be too difficult for children aged 8 and 10, they would be able to help in the solving of some of the puzzles in the game. Please give us a call on 01425 820819 if you would like to discuss this any further.
Kind regards,
Adam
