Company The Escape Room Guys

Did it as a duo and you’ll likely use the whole hour—roughly 20–30 minutes for the escape, then it’s all about the haul. Minimal searching, lots of standalone decode/logic/cipher challenges that suit mathy brains, and several are best tackled by two people coordinating. Family friendly with no jump scares. We had a blast and want to try their other rooms.

Loved the two-stage design: quick crack-in then an all-out puzzle sprint. We played as two and still kept busy the whole hour, finishing with 11 bars. Clean logic, barely any searching, and the host nudged perfectly when we stalled.

Heist themes are common, but this one flows beautifully with a broad puzzle range. The first act is a straightforward linear run, then it shifts into a steal‑what‑you‑can puzzle fest; theming is simple yet effective, difficulty varies, and even one of the tools feels like a puzzle. Adam nudged us expertly when needed. Feels like an underrated gem in Derby and absolutely worth a visit.

The escape bit took us about twenty minutes, then it switched to full-on bank robbery. We loved the blend of linear and non‑linear tasks that let different teammates shine.

We had a blast from start to finish. Adam knew when to step in and when to let us figure it out, so hints never felt heavy-handed. Nice mix of searching and tidy logic, and the final reveal clicked. Would happily recommend to first-timers in our group and the one veteran among us.

Good mix of ciphers and logic with hardly any rummaging, which suits me fine. The scoring format kept everyone engaged right to the buzzer. Would recommend to teams that like thinking fast.

Like the venue’s other rooms, the set is minimal yet effective, and it begins with lots of searching, including a hiding place I’d never seen before. Your job is to retrieve five diamonds before Mr Big returns, the route is mostly linear, and there are some clever puzzles sprinkled in. Our GM, Adam, steered us back on track brilliantly.

A very solid room—maybe not wildly original, but tight, fun, and hosted really well. We nabbed 12 of the 15 bars within the hour, then they kindly let the timer run so we could clear the lot. If you’re anywhere near Derby, it’s worth a stop.

Not the flashiest set, but it runs so smoothly and the puzzles click. Our GM kept hints minimal and on point, which made the final rush super satisfying. Great value for a team night.

Took the kids (12 and 15) and it was spot on—no scares, just solid brainwork. Communication puzzles were clever and we split up for the non-linear bits. We left buzzing with 10 bars.
