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.

We had the most amazing time doing the Pit at The Escapement Margate. From the moment we arrived we were "in" the adventure. Head engineer Tom set the scene and got the kids excited before heading us down to the Pit itself where we donned miners hats complete with lamps and headed underground. The first 5 minutes were a flurry of excited people all trying to do everything at once but once we settled into it (and with a few helpful hints over the walkie talkie from Tom) we found our feet and started solving the problems. The tasks and problems were harder than we expected but in a good way – nothing was obvious and we genuinely had to work things out – but were not so hard that you felt like you were in an exam! They are also created in such a way that age didnt make a huge difference. Our 8 year old worked out how to use the dynamite and the 10 year old solved a switch problem that I still don't understand now even having had it explained! The whole experience took around 90 minutes with the adventure itself around 75 and that was perfect for all of us. A really fun mix of brain teasers and entertainment that kept all 4 of us really entertained. We are already working out when to go back to to do the others!

We had a fantastic time! I came with five friends and we did the Pirates task. Our host, Lewis, was very entertaining and the task was exactly the right level of difficult for us.

It was our first experience at an escape room. An impromptu date night activity and it was great fun. We had no idea what to expect. I went in feeling pretty confident but I was thrown on a few occasions and was glad I had the wife with me. Great team building/communication activity and looking forward to the next one. The cherry on the top was the host Lewis, who set the tone for a fun evening and really made the whole experience.

So much fun. This is our second visit and we'll certainly be back again. The Pit is the best one yet - it's so interactive

This is our second room at Escapement in Margate and we loved it even more than the previous one. We took on The Pit and it was great fun and brilliantly introduced by our host. Highly recommended - we will be coming back to do the third room in the future.
