Had an amazing time with family today in the new DARK ARTS room, facilitated by David and Ross at the front desk - have been to the Breakout Games a few times before and have had the pleasure of both names above being our Game Masters and they always go above and beyond. Can't recommend enough!

Myself, partner and friends had a go at the new Enchanted Forest room and it was fab - thoroughly enjoyed myself and was something different to do for my birthday (our 2nd time now). We all felt safe, everything was cleaned and everything was explained simply and clearly. Holly was really friendly and we are already planning to head back for our third room - here's hoping our team make it to the top, after coming a close second.

I went out of curiosity opening week to find that the staff were lovely and enthusiastic. It is an ideal place to go if you want to try gaming for the first time or if you own a rig or console but are waiting for a software update to install and still want to play games

Our family of 6 visited today as we received this as a Christmas gift. We had great fun and a mix of ages and personal skills we managed to escape with an above average score! We did the Christmas themed tv escape room which was a mix of Christmas movie/tv and other Christmas related anagrams and problem solving! I highly recommend this escape rooms as it’s suitable for any age and not physically challenging. It’s a great thing to do to build relationships and work as a team against the rooms! Lots of fun we will come again to try the other year round challenges!

Formal gardens nice in summer. St Machars Cathedral at top of the brae at south gate which leads to Old Aberdeen area and Kings College which is another nice walk through a historic part of Aberdeen. The Cruickshank botanic garden on St Machar Drive worth a visit. Also the Zoology museum. Only open weekdays Can all be done at the same time if you have time available.
