We had a great time at Clue HQ. They kindly let us book same day and our gamemaster had clearly stayed late just so we could play which was much appreciated! Gameplay was very original and we really enjoyed the little twist and turns. Thanks again for fitting us in and thank you to lovely gamemaster who stayed and gave us a great game!

A super time was had by our family attempting The Last Testament on a wet Sunday afternoon. Attention to detail on the design and furnishings was terrific and we enjoyed the variety of puzzles, clues and locks, but most of all the atmosphere. We were well but not too much supported and managed to finish with 3 minutes left, which obviously made it particularly satisfactory. Everyone contributed in differnet ways. A special shout out to Joanna the Game Master who was enthusiastic and informative and made the whole thing very enjoyable and was able to give us quite a bit of time at the end too. I'd heartily recommend.

Escape Colchester

Escape Colchester is a new, fun, challenging activity in Colchester. We will lock you up in a mysterious escape room, and give you exactly 60 minutes to get out. In order to beat the live escape game you and your team must solve many puzzles, riddles, brain teasers and identify clues.

Me and my other half attended escape Colchester on Saturday to play the cabin, we loved it the staff were amazing and really friendly especially our GM Chloe. The room was very fun and we escaped with an amazing time. We enjoyed it so much we came back on the Monday to play the Baker Street room which we also thoroughly enjoyed especially as we found it challenging. We will definitely be going back to play their two other current rooms and their three new rooms. We may also venture out to their Southend branch to try the rooms there. Recommend these rooms to beginners and experienced escape room players

Played Prisoner X after thoroughly enjoying The Dammed and was impressed yet again! Gamesmaster Sam was welcoming, enthusiastic and extremely helpful in our room when we needed clues. This room was extremely challenging in my view, which I was glad about because it set a real challenge and made me and my partner work together more. Escaped with about 2 mins 30 secs left and a huge smile on our faces. Thank you Sam! :)
