First time visit and very worthwhile. Boardwalk throughout and flat walking. Good covid prep as there are one way systems. Accessible or disabled and with ramps to hides.

We booked the murder mystery escape room for my daughters birthday but had to cancel due to Covid. The owner was very helpful, telling me to re-book when we were ready. Today we escaped! The four of us had a fantastic time. The escape room was challenging enough (we had a fair bit of help from the owner who watches on monitors and offers help when he feels you need it) but not so hard my 13 year old solved some of the problems. We didn't complete the task in the hour but were aloud to carry on and finish. We got a lot of satisfaction when we solved the mystery. Lots of parking and excellent staff. Highly recommended.

I left 4 hard-to-please teenagers (mixed group of 15-17 year olds) here to do the Disaster Strikes Escape Room. This was their first experience of any escape room and they loved it! They found the layout challenging and stimulating and had the perfect amount of hints. They are keen to do more now, which is a ringing endorsement, and we will definitely be back to try the House of Evidence. PS Covid safety was excellent here, great attention to hygiene etc
