Company Deception Escape Rooms

Excellent room with strong puzzles and an engaging plot, but the headline is you can turn the jump scares off—even mid-game—if it’s too much. We loved the automatic-fail twist; it kept us mindful of every action. We’ll be back to Deception.

Very inventive room with a clearly explained story. The puzzles are logical and flow well, though an early “find items in a picture and count for a code” stumped us longer than it should. We loved some fresh touches we’ve not seen elsewhere, and it’s the first room at this venue we’ve actually escaped. Be aware it’s a tiny footprint and pretty linear; as a pair we were almost climbing over each ot... Expand

Brilliant experience. Staff were kind and tweaked the live actor’s scares to our comfort, and the space feels massive and moody. Puzzles landed cleanly and the story pulled us through. We left buzzing.

The team were wonderfully friendly and adjusted the live actor’s scares to what our group could handle. Fresh story and a surprisingly large set made it a standout experience.

Our first Deception room and the theming and story were fantastic. The jump scares hit, and the auto-fail if a character catches you had us hiding more than solving at times—though I doubt they boot you instantly. As a duo we found it tough and didn’t escape, and I’m not a fan of the final timed, one-shot puzzle, but we still enjoyed it.

Loved the variety of puzzles and the fairytale twist. Only gripe: the end has a timed step that can end your run on one mistake, which stung. Everything else was tense in the best way.

The auto-fail rule sounds scary but it made us think strategically and it never felt unfair. We even turned the jump scares down partway and kept playing. Great actor work and a cracking narrative.

Took my two kids and they were buzzing the whole time. Staff set the scene well, nothing scary, and the puzzles clicked for us. We squeaked out with a few minutes left and big grins.

Atmosphere is stellar, but the chase elements sometimes overshadowed the puzzles for me. I appreciated being able to switch the scares off mid-game and the team were super understanding. Mixed feelings overall, but glad I tried it.

Loved the story and the logic, but wow, it’s tiny. The picture-count code near the start cost us ages, and the game is quite linear. Still a solid recommendation for 2–3 players.
