This review of Armageddon is based on a review from January 2017. What a difference an hour/year makes. After spending the last game with the ghost of escape rooms past, Gamescape’s newest room felt more at home in the modern (end of the) world: Scientists have discovered a massive asteroid …
This review of The 13th Element is based on a visit from October 2016. The opening of a new game at any operator is always an exciting time, but when that news comes from one of your favourite places it’s a red letter day indeed. So when Escape Quest announced …
This review of Contagion is based on a visit from July 2016. It can’t really be 2.5 months since my last ‘proper’ review can it? Although it would explain why I’ve got 16(!!!) rooms listed on this backlog here. I better crack on. Speaking of surprises, when’s the last time …
Back in November, Animals team member Paul turned 30. To mark the occasion we (the rest of the team) wanted to do something escapey for him. But as his celebrations were a meal and drinks in town we were a little limited in what we could do. We produced a little …
This review of Remy’s Room is based on a visit from February 2016. The last of the five sites in Liverpool for us to visit was Clue Finders. We hadn’t been avoiding it. In fact all the reviews, including one from our own James who had visited with his wife …
This review of Sacrifice is based on a visit from February 2016. We’d learned of this room back in August when playing The Teleporter, but didn’t have chance to go and play it until much later. I was particularly interested and intrigued for two reasons: 1) The room design was …
This review of Golden Cage is based on a visit from January 2016. Game-Scape? Gam-Escape? Gam-E-Scape? I thought the point of a portmanteau was to blend two words together to make a new one. It doesn’t really count if you have to turn it back into two words to say it. They aren’t …
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 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) …
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 …
