Company «Cryptology Sheffield»

Great room and a brilliant host, with decent theming and engaging puzzles. The astrology thread halfway through clashed with the murder angle for me, and a couple of tech bits misbehaved, including a latch that needed a thump and a laser that didn’t fire at first.

First-ever escape room and it was a blast. Looks great, the flow mostly sings, and the big central puzzle was super satisfying. We missed one thing because it looked way too pristine to be part of the game, hit a section that broke an early rule, and the use of the word altar misled us. Staff were excellent and we got out as a duo in 45 minutes.

Went as a pair and had a blast. The central puzzle is a banger, the videos add charm, and the host was on point with hints. A couple of clues could be clearer, but we left grinning.

Really enjoyed it and loved how it wasn’t just a standard open-the-door format. The story felt a little odd in places, but the tech and varied settings were cool and memorable.

Fun room with enjoyable puzzles, some very straightforward, and hosts who made it welcoming. Definitely worth a visit.
