Company «Unescapable»

Did Alan with my husband and a friend and it was fantastic, miles better than another Derby venue we tried. Wild how much they fit into a small space. It’s tough, but we escaped with about five minutes to spare. Stephen set the scene perfectly and dropped helpful nudges without making answers obvious. Can’t wait to return for the other day rooms—probably skipping Edith because I’m a wuss!

SO much fun. I’d call it quite difficult simply because there’s a lot to solve in the time, and being pretty linear means another teammate wouldn’t necessarily help. Great variety, strong story and theming, and fantastic use of space.

One of their newer games and, in my opinion, the best. The premise is familiar—an agent vanishes through a time portal and you follow—but the transition between worlds is excellent, and the theming in the past is spot on with some great puzzles.

The first section left me underwhelmed, but we cleared it quickly and the rest of the game got much more interesting. The second area looks amazing, with clever puzzles and smart use of space. It’s a shame most teams don’t reach that part as fast—they’re missing the best bits.

Loved the atmosphere and the flow, though it’s quite linear so we queued a bit on a couple of steps. Still, loads to chew on and some smart logic chains.

Good room overall, though a couple of time‑sink puzzles felt more frustrating than fun. The pirate set, however, is incredible.
