Exit the Game have released some new games perfectly in time for Christmas, so this of course meant I had to give it to my other half. Criminal activity is rampant in the frontier town of Fortune City, and now the sheriff has disappeared without a trace. With precious little time to find him, players... Continue Reading →
ClueHQ, Bedford – The Betrayal of Cluetankhamun
It was a friend's birthday so of course this called for an escape room together. Finding 'local' games means we are having to travel a bit further afield. ClueHQ's Bedford location (not actually in Bedford but in nearby Sandy) was one fo the nearest games that none of us had played. So we popped on... Continue Reading →
Locked In A Room, Infinity – Milton Keynes
The Locked In A Room branch in Milton Keynes recently did a bit of a refresh swapping out one of their rooms for a new game. Having previously completed all their rooms, this was great news for us having a new local game to play. We grabbed a couple of friends, and the 4 of... Continue Reading →
Clued Up! Escape Rooms, Norwich – Nuclear Countdown
We’ve ventured over to Norfolk to visit some friends, and thought that this would be a great opportunity to fit in an escape room while on our little holiday, especially having hit the majority of our local ones.

ClueQuest, at home – Survival Escape Training
I’m going to start of acknowledging the elephant in the room, that despite the fact that this game was a Halloween special edition released by ClueQuest, we’ve ended up playing it in July, quite a number of months after we actually bought the game. Following numerous reports of maniacal monstrosities terrorizing neighborhoods across the world,... Continue Reading →
Escape Room The Game – The Dentist
The Dentist is the second expansion pack we picked up for Escape Room The Game, we've had our decoder lent out for a little while for friends to play, and having it back we decided to utilise a day off work to play a game. You need the chrono decoder, keys and hint decoder from... Continue Reading →
Blackout Escape Rooms, Milton Keynes – Hostage
Blackout Escape Rooms is an independent escape room company in the Milton Keynes area. When the company first set up we played an Alien Abduction themed room, though I think that must have been about 4 years ago now. Low and behold it was high time we returned to Blackout and we thought we would... Continue Reading →
