Having done 3 days at the centre with school for gcse pe my teen son and friend were keen to come back to improve some of their scores. We booked with Tony who was fab, really knowledgeable, gave great advice and really helped them both. I was really in impressed by the range of different walls/ height, difficulty rating etc. Something there to suit all ages and abilities. My son is already itching to come back. Great experience!

Our kids (8 and 10) have been coming here for over a year. The staff are great with them, they give lots of encouragement, work to each child’s strengths, and the teaching is really good. The facilities are excellent - the height & size of the old church building means it’s a great & varied challenge for climbers of all ages & experience. Coffee is great too! Highly recommend.

An outstanding collection of arcade history & modern imports, machines that honestly are older than I am in full working order and what's better, all on free play! The age of the machines is funnily "sold out" by their coin mechanisms, they might be on free play but seeing 10p credits is a total throwback to before even my time. You name it there's a fair chance they have it on the third floor which is all ages, it's a who's who of arcade history from Space Invaders & Galaxian to slightly more modern classics like Time Crisis & with it being free play it's also less galling when your timing isn't as good as it used to be! The second floor is more aimed towards the rhythm folks but genuinely wouldn't look out of place in Akihabara - in a figurative AND literal sense! This one's over 16's only and is a heaven of dance games, random obscure Japanese rhythm games & a bunch of top notch VR stations as well just to prove that it's not all an antiques roadshow! The table flipping game though is a personal favourite, I'd seen it on YouTube but now I know why it's a cult favourite, gotta check that one out for sure! Food & drink is catered for - I didn't have any snacks while I was there but something up on the second floor smelled great & the prices are honestly of the sort of value that makes you feel like you're robbing the place! They clearly have an ethos of send the customer home happy & it shows, not very often you'll see places like this have reasonable prices on food & drink! Value for money is outstanding, under £20 and you can access both floors from opening til chucking out time, compared with what I'd spend in an "a-la-carte" arcade that's daylight robbery on my part! The machines are generally well cared for and well maintained, have to remember that in some cases the machines are 30+ years old and I dare say used to oblivion even on a 4 day week! (seriously for the age of them they work a dream!) I know they're opening a new location in Leeds but well, if they're looking for a Scottish outreach I'd support that to the hills and back! Might have taken a couple of years to get down but having been, it won't be a couple of years until I get back!

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.
