About the escape room
The Wrong Turn escape room in Bury drops you into a dusty American backroad nightmare, and you have 60 minutes to find your way out.
You and your friends are driving along Route 66 when you notice your fuel running dangerously low. A friend suggests making a turn at the next set of crossroads to see if there is a gas station up ahead. You don’t find a gas station — but you decide to explore the one place you have discovered after taking that wrong turn. Doors lock behind you. The lights flicker. Something here doesn’t want you to leave.
Will you escape, or will you spend the rest of your life regretting that wrong turn?

AI Overview
AIMost players rave about the immersive mid‑west vibe, scent work, and set detail, with a story that threads through and ramps up near the end. Puzzles are varied, largely logical, and a bit padlock‑heavy, with a mostly linear flow that keeps teams moving. Hosting and hint timing get frequent praise. A minority felt the set was small, red herrings wasted time, and the scares or story depth underwhelmed.
WeaknessesExpect lots of locks and a fair bit of searching, which some found repetitive. A few red herrings pop up, and one team mentioned a luck-based final moment. One outlier called it a small set with thin story development.
StrengthsAtmosphere is top-tier, from the set dressing to the smells that sell the world. Puzzle flow feels clean and purposeful, and the narrative actually progresses. Game masters are on it and step in right when needed.
SecurityNo safety concerns were raised in the reviews. Clear briefings and responsive hosts keep play smooth and comfortable.
Level of fearCreepy and tense rather than extreme; no gore mentioned. Most teens and adults should be fine, though very skittish players might squirm.
Actors' gameNo live actors are mentioned. Interaction is mainly via attentive game masters and a tidy hint system, which several reviews praised.
Quality of riddlesA mix of observation, searching, classic padlocks, and a few physical moments; clues read fair and logical. The flow leans linear so you’re rarely stuck, though search-heavy spots can slow progress. Occasional red herrings appear but don’t dominate.
PlotYou take a wrong turn off Route 66 and stumble into a place you probably shouldn’t explore, with the narrative unfolding room by room. Most players noticed steady story beats and a satisfying finish.
Difficulty levelMid-range overall and friendly to mixed-experience teams. Newcomers may want a hint or two, while enthusiasts will enjoy the momentum and volume of tasks.
