I really enjoy the Escapologist group in general. However, I came here out of a whim, didn't book, and just turned up. The team was really friendly and helpful. They explained all the rooms to us to see which one we would possibly like to do. The escape room itself was really good, I was put on my own! And the other two in my party were put in a different room and it was certainly a challenge but it was a really good room like the ones I've done from the escapologist before. Great challenge for beginners.

Gutted! I was so looking forward to our first escape room experience as a family. The member of staff was super helpful when I rang to enquire and advised that the Vertic Alley would be perfect for us. I booked up straightaway over the phone. Unfortunately, the company was less helpful when I called up to explain I had to cancel 5 days before the trip. For family reasons, our trip was cancelled. Apparently, there are no refunds in any circumstances (I'm not sure that is even legal and have contacted Trading Standards). We could move booking but we are not from the area and the one morning we could make, they couldn't accommodate. Really disappointed with the service. I know businesses need to protect themselves but I'll bet they resell the slot and double their money.

Did a room there this weekend- escaped in less than half an hour- I've done a few before, but this wasn't very challenging and the staff seemed quite disinterested both when we arrived and when we left. "Escaped" into an empty corridor which was a bit of an anticlimax - I was expecting another room based on the amount of time we'd been in there. Didn't feel like it was great value for money.Did one at the previous site at Xscape a couple of years ago that was much better.

Did an escape room today for my sisters birthday, first time I had ever done one and I absolutely loved it! Lollie (I hope I got her name right) was an absolutely amazing host and made a great cocktail! Can't wait to go back again

Been a few times, for drinks and now been for the escape rooms. We played the new fairy tale room with the kids for something different in the holidays and was a brilliant experience! Really well thought out and well designed, will certainly return for another game!
