The best day out money can buy, great fun in a very friendly and super safe venue set in some beautiful Dartmoor woodland, great lay out and games to play for little kids and big kids at heart. You know your going to have a great day out if a venue has been running for 30 years, Kevin and his team of marshals will have you laughing all day. Can’t wait to go again soon.

Words can't quite describe how fantastic our escape room experience was! From the moment you arrive right through to when you finish (or have lots of help to finish...!) you are fully immersed into the World that is created for you. We did the Templar room and it was outstanding. We were absolutely hopeless, but we had enough clues to work most of it out! It's so well crafted, the clues lead you in in sequential order and it's unbelievably creative. I've done three other escape rooms in the past and can say that this is hands down the best one I've ever done. We can't wait to come back and fail miserably to escape the other room!! Thank you thank you thank you!!

If you have never done an escape room you need to do it!! I can’t recommend this little business enough. We played ‘Back to School’ and the puzzles were really fun- pitched at a level that made you think! My 12 & 10 year old loved taking part and could help solve some of the padlock codes. Professional & extremely covid secure. Based in Bovey Tracey. Let’s support local in these tough times. A fun team building exercise. Can’t wait to do another one. Thanks Leanne
