I had my first lesson here after not riding for 14 years due to a back injury. I used to compete at a professional level, and sadly I hurt myself while showjumping. I explained when booking that I wasn’t a novice, but I was particularly out of shape, and practise. I was greeted by a friendly face at reception who told me who I would be riding, and who would be my instructor. My instructor was excellent, we started with some basics and she worked me up to more difficult activities, allowing me to find my current level. Towards the end of the lesson everything finally clicked back into place, and my instructor was as excited as I was! A great lesson, and I will definitely be returning, a wonderful feeling to be back in the saddle, and so great to have been assisted by an enthusiastic and encouraging teacher.

moviESCAPE is Stockport's premier movie themed escape rooms. Built and designed by a team of filmmakers, our escape rooms are designed to put you inside the movies.
Reviewed By SeanEvans91 - Stoke-on-Trent, United Kingdom
Today we visited MoviESCAPE and it's clear to see the venue is run by movie fans who want to bring the magic of the movies into an escape room venue. With theatre style detailed sets the brand new Haunted House II: Demon's Curse maze was intriguing and immersive with a great use of special effects and some thought-provoking puzzles. Whilst it wasn't particularly scary (hence being targeted at ages 12+) the maze provided that immersion into the story and special effects certainly added towards that atmosphere. Almost like a Disney / indie horror crossover at times it was great fun to be inside the room and whilst we didn't escape in the time allotted there was only two of us attempting the room. One puzzle did throw us completely off but the rather cool way of getting a hint and the way in which the hint was delivered was almost pushing me to ask for help on every puzzle as the audio replies gelled with the room so effortlessly. Detailed, immersive and great fun! Would definitely revisit again as the Merlin and Sherlock rooms both look absolutely stunning, i'm a big sucker for theming and other than the more simplistic Meth Lab escape room the other rooms were spot on in detail and immersion.

This was our second visit to X-Genvr. The first time we booked the private room and this time we booked an hour in the arcade - mum, dad and 2 kids aged 8 and 10. This was a surprise for my sons 11th birthday! The kids absolutely loved this place last time, and our second visit did not disappoint! We had ample time to go on whatever we wanted to, the games were amazing (the bikes and the roller-coaster are a must!!) and the staff were yet again brilliant at making sure we got the best out of our time there. The kids had an unbelievable time, and must have thanked us 100 times for taking them back. We'll definitely be returning!
