Don’t let the slightly dry title fool you, this post is going to get very nerdy. But it does have a pie chart, and we all love pie charts! A few weeks ago there was some discussion on Escape Room Enthusiasts about some escape room themes being so widely used that they’d become…
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…
I almost missed it, but assuming I can get this post published in the next 48 minutes, today is QMSM’s birthday! It was a cold and boring Wednesday afternoon when I decided to stop thinking about creating a blog and actually published something. Since then there has been a few…
A big hello to any first time readers borne out of our meeting on Wednesday. I used to post here quite regularly. Please have a rummage through the archives, you might find something of note. An only slightly smaller hello to everyone else. What happened on Wednesday? I attended the…

Sticking to a regular timetable is hard! Let’s just ignore the fact that this post was due two weeks ago and carry on with Themed Thursday, okay? (Toronto Escape Rooms and ExitGames are much better at sticking to schedule). The theme for this week is betrayal. A bit of an…
I was delighted to get an email from my friend Helen saying “my plans have fallen through for Sunday night. Fancy doing something, maybe escaping?” Not delighted that her plans had fallen through of course, but that someone else had initiated a plan to go escaping rather than my constant…
Reviewing a new room is fun enough, but visiting a new site is better, and a new operator better still. And I got do that twice this last weekend! But first things first. As mentioned by ExitGames, Escaping is exploding in Liverpool at the moment. Not long ago Clue HQ…
Sometimes when reviewing an escape room you struggle to say anything beyond the obvious; the presentation was nice, the host was pleasant, the puzzles were easy, yadda yadda yadda… That isn’t the case with Classified. I’m not saying the host wasn’t pleasant! I mean it gave me lots of other…
