Brilliant experience that I was given as a gift... Mick, our expert in the FV 432, was clear and knowledgeable and funny! Plenty of opportunities to ask questions and learn, driving the actual tank round a very muddy track, and firing the huge paintball gun to top it off!!

The whole experience from booking the activities to taking part and the farewell was 5stars... Extremely well organised, felt very safe in regard to both the activity being undertaken and current covid circumstances. Overall it was really good fun and plenty of time was spent on all activities. Although everyone said they'd quite happily stay there all day!!

A day out in Leicester took us to Escape Asylum today, where we tried all 3 of their rooms. Asylum...well...not a good idea if you’re sensitive to flashing lights or have heart problems! ????❤️ The first part of the room doesn’t quite fit with the rest of the theme but is good fun if you can overcome the frustration! Once we got past that the scares commenced & Games Master Olivia manipulated the atmosphere brilliantly to prey upon our natural nervousness at being locked in an asylum with the ghost of Edith, who wasn’t going to let us out alive unless we solved her murder. ????????????????⚗️????⚰️????This game is geared towards mental conundrums & centres upon solving one central puzzle. By the time we’d figured that out (with a lot of confusion & feeling a bit stupid along the way) we were just a bit too confused & slow at grasping how to complete the very final task & ran out of time. ⌛️????Whilst I didn’t enjoy his game as much as some, just because it doesn’t have as much puzzle type variety as we really like, it’s a well staged room which will certainly raise your pulse rate & the hour will fly by. ????⏰???? Having been killed by Edith in the Asylum our spirits went on to try their luck at Cirque du Slay’s circus. ???????????? Finding ourselves in Momo’s circus lair some of the tasks in there were quite straightforward, others a little trickier to figure out. Evil Clown Momo made us squirm to ask for help, but Kind Clown Momo repaid our efforts when we asked nicely enough & aptly named Games Master Mo played both parts brilliantly. ????????This game is a bit more practical than Asylum- if compared to the Crystal Maze tv programme it’d feature a little bit each of skill, mental & physical. ????????‍♀️⏰ This was by far my favourite room of the day with a great blend of things to do, a cool quirky ending & a few giggles & squeals along the way! Having enjoyed the first two rooms we decided on the spur of the moment to go & have some dinner before coming back & taking on Eyeball Bill in his cabin. ????????????This was scare free, a welcome relief after the other two rooms! As with Asylum there’s one skill type puzzle near the beginning which doesn’t seem to have much to do with the rest of the theming but other than that it’s largely well thought out & immersive. It’ll have you scooting backwards & forwards and there are a wider variety of puzzle types in this room than Asylum, but it still has it’s challenges & similarly there were a couple of puzzles we just felt baffled by. ????????????????️???? Thankfully the Sheriff, well played by Olivia, was kind in rewarding our funky chicken dancing with some tips when we really needed them which meant we just about escaped with our eyeballs intact! ???????? This is the only room I’d say is potentially family friendly, depending entirely on how resilient your child is. Compared to many escape room venues this is a very professional & slick operation, themed from the moment you enter & well located within the city centre. The GM’s were really friendly, clearly enjoy their work & made our visit a great experience. The games here aren’t for the feint hearted, not overly suitable for young children & I wouldn’t say they’d be the best choice for your first ever escape room experience as they’re not as straight forward as some, but for a challenging & fun day out with some scary thrills & a few laughs as well they’re definitely worth the trip. ????⏱ Apparently they’re opening a new venue in Leicester this summer with 6 rooms. I really hope they’re not all scare/horror based as I’m not really a fan of the scary or really spooky, but either way I’m already looking forward to coming back & giving them a try. ☀️????????????????

Ape Index

Ape Index is an indoor bouldering, ninja warrior and obstacle race gym. We have a large bouldering wall and many ninja warrior and obstacle race obstacles and climbing training aids. We offer a training environment for children, beginners and supermen. There is something to pull every muscle in every direction and under every duress imaginable. You can learn to balance, swing, jump. You will get stronger, more supple, more agile and more aware. You can build strength, and not just specific single plane pushing or pulling strength, but overall strength from your toes to your head, pushing, pulling and gripping. You can develop power, not lifting power, but explosive pulling and jumping power. Then you can work your strength endurance on the pegboard or power endurance on the salmon ladder, or overall endurance by running through the obstacle courses.

We have just had our sons 8th birthday party at Ape Index. Where he also had his 7th birthday! Both times the experience has been brilliant from start to finish. Both Alex and Nigel are friendly and laid back which makes the whole experience really rather pleasant! The party offers great value for money compared to many more obvious venue choices. Nigel was endlessly patient with the 18 excitable 7/8 year olds and managed to control them without ever being cross. The kids all really enjoyed it. You get as much free time to play afterwards as you want, which is fantastic. Overall a brilliant birthday party at a great venue.
