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.

What travellers are saying
- AdrianS2403Enfield, UK700 contributionsA really interesting walk up to Arthur's Seat. We were extremely lucky with the beautiful weather. Crowded in parts, particularly at the summit. Stunning views across Edinburgh and along the coast. Quite strenuous in parts.Written 31 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ang GScottish Highlands, UK607 contributionsCame as a group of 4 adults last week, what great fun!
The whole experience from start to end is very well done, lots of interesting facts and special effects. The actors were fantastic too, really made the experience what it is.
Had a good laugh and a few scares along the way, and the drop ride at the end was unexpected but great.
Would come back.Written 2 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ash S1 contributionCame here to play Space Academy with my friend for my birthday, and Ellen was absolutely brilliant! We've played a lot of games between us, and we both thought her pre-game briefing and performance was some of the best we've ever had. The room itself was really fun and immersive, with clever and varied puzzles and no over-reliance on padlocks. Would absolutely recommend this room and Ellen!Written 2 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ejospeBoston, MA38 contributionsDaniel and Kyle (our games masters for Atlantis and Alice in Puzzleland respectively) were enthusiastic cheerleaders, great with the occasional hint, and spectacular representatives of an excellent escape room outfit! We’e done many escape rooms before, and found Escape Hunt provides way better than average experiences, with high production value, and thoughtfully executed escape games. My husband and I were able to do both rooms as a twosome, (with a mere 12 seconds to spare in Puzzleland,) and found each room of the two rooms challenging but consummately fair. Absolutely wonderful bit of fun and brain work! No jump scares in either room if you’re looking for family friendly fun.Written 8 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- David H2 contributionsMy teenaged boys and I loved our session. The equipment is great and feels authentic. The instructors are helpful and friendly - and squeezed in an extra game so we had a full hour of play. The setting is really good with natural changes in terrain as well as man made barricades.
And unlike paintball, it doesn't hurt! And you don't pay extra for ammo.

- dublinmumof32 contributionsCouldn't find fault with the day. Everyone had a great time. The marshalls were very safety concious, friendly and interacted brilliantly with the kids, aged 15,12 and 10.
