10 Room Escape Games in Islington That You Shouldn't Miss
The crown jewels, Buckingham Palace, Camden Market…in London, history collides with art, fashion, food, and good British ale. A perfect day is different for everyone: culture aficionados shouldn't miss the Tate Modern and the Royal Opera House. If you love fashion, Oxford Street has shopping galore. For foodies, cream tea at Harrod’s or crispy fish from a proper chippy offers classic London flavor. Music and book buffs will love seeing Abbey Road and the Sherlock Holmes Museum (at 221B Baker Street, of course).

We were a group of 6 family members of various ages. Everyone played a part and what was good was that different people showed different ways of looking at a problem. We escaped with 4 mins 52 seconds to spare!! Miguel introduced the game to us and was impressed by our teamwork and we were impressed by his enthusiasm.

We weren’t sure what to expect of Enigma Escape, and had never done an escape room before. We had a great evening - really good story to the challenge, a good level of difficulty (with hints for when we needed them!), and good fun. Sam was a great host. We did The Killer - would recommend.

Had a fantastic experience playing this escape room. Expert communication and patience is required, and the room is challenging - we needed some hints! Designed beautifully in a vintage style, also interesting types of clues which we hadn't seen before. You can tell just how much thought and effort has gone in conception, design and execution. I highly recommend this for couples, friends, colleagues and families. Support this small business and go to Mind the Game! They're so passionate about it, and it shows.

We went to the Ploppa Block's escape room on a Saturday afternoon as 6 of us and had a brilliant time! Our host was called Liam who was full of life and character and made the scenario great fun with his booming voice. The escape room was situated between a quirky theatre and The Depot bar and a short walk away from Caledonian Rd Station. The puzzles and clues came with an element of darkness which was challenging at times and we managed to escape with just 1min and 30 seconds to spare. Handmade mysteries is head and shoulders above a lot of escape rooms as the host is great and the theme was different to others we had done before.

Brilliant online team games for virtual events. The guys at BuckBuck are fun, creative and highly professional. Our company's xmas event this year was a game of the Lord's Apprentice.

We did the Wizarding School room - definitely the most atmospheric room we have done. Great reception, good location and waiting area with friendly staff. Was engrossed from the moment i collected my wand(!) and cast a spell to enter the room. The theme was really cool, particularly as a Harry Potter nerd. It loosely followed Chamber of Secrets and this added to the fun as I could see where things were going, even if I still had to solve the puzzle to get there! Highly recommended! Two things - this is a linear game so four felt like the right number of people although a two would cope just about. Also there was one disappointment with the room - the very first searching task felt utterly pointless and needlessly wasted some minutes, spoiling the initial impression and adding unnecessary urgency to the room. Once that was sorted the rest of the game was phenomenal so why do this at the start?
