There’s quite a long time to go until this event, taking place on Saturday 20th August 2016, but due to massive demand I need to tell you about it now. I posted a little while ago about what a megagame is, and there’s another take on it here. While they…
I’d normally leave news and events from the escaping community to ExitGames, but as he’s on intermission at the moment and this event is fast approaching I’m stepping in just this once. The second Great Escape UK Unconference will take place on Monday 25th April 2016. The location hasn’t been clarified…
A couple of weeks ago TheLogicEscapesMe challenged me to come up with a visual representation of the ‘fun spectrum’. The fun spectrum being the term I coined to cover lots of different activities that are related to, or could possibly be liked by people who enjoy, escaping. At the time…
Please see part 1 for a fuller introduction and build up to this post. This review of The Vampire Chronicles is based on a visit from December 2015. “Oh” our host said when she noticed us sat in the waiting area “how did you enjoy that?” “Yeah, it was… okay”…
Another risk of doing a review a long time after a visit is that things might have changed. That’s why I always start my reviews by saying when I visited (and I’m doing reviews for new escapes straight after visiting to ensure they’re relevant). The Logic Escapes Me is always…
This review of Project Pandora is based on a visit from November 2015. As mentioned in my earlier review, I first visited Tick Tock Unlock Salford Manchester back in November but the review slipped into my (now steadily decreasing) ‘catch up’ pile. The obvious risk when trying to do a…
You may have noticed me using the term ‘megagame’ quite a bit recently, both here on the site and on Twitter. But a lot of you probably haven’t heard the term before. So what is a megagame? What seems like quite a straightforward question really isn’t. In fact it usually…
This review of Pirate Ship is based on a visit in March 2016. It’s entirely appropriate (you might think even ‘planned’, but you’d be wrong) that I’m writing this review today, the day after this piece from Room Escape Artist. If you don’t fancy reading it (but you really should)…
As promised (although it has just crept past midnight!) I’ve updated the rankings page based on the 30 reviews I’ve completed. The highest new entry is Escape Quest‘s Bad Clown straight in at #3. I didn’t give much away in my review because it’s incredibly hard to talk about it…
This review of Quarantined is based on a visit in November 2015. Where am I? How did I get here? Maybe this room introduction will help me: With the growing threat of a radiation leak due to the increase in nuclear power, the government seek a solution to radiation poisoning…
