About the escape room
Think you have what it takes to survive a glitching time machine? Step into Tommy, the most immersive, family-friendly escape room Derby has to offer, and prepare to test your wits against the fabric of time itself.
The Mission: A Totally Routine, 99% Safe* Portal Test
So, here’s the deal. We’ve successfully cracked time travel (hooray for us!), but our main portal has been acting up just a tiny bit. It’s nothing major—just a few blinking warning lights and a weird humming sound we’re choosing to ignore.
To make sure it’s completely operational, we just need a brave, enthusiastic (and completely expendable) team to jump through the portal, land inside a World War 1 bunker, and come straight back. A quick in-and-out test. Simple, right?
Now, full disclosure: if the portal decides to fully malfunction while you’re back in the trenches, you’ll be trapped in the past. You’ll have to manually recalibrate the portal’s inner mechanics under pressure just to return to the present day—otherwise, you’ll be lost in time forever. But hey, our scientists are fairly sure that won’t happen. Mostly sure. Probably sure. What’s the worst that could happen?
AI
Brief assessment
Navigator AIGo for the WWI set design, cinematic opening, and a low-stress mission that feels like an adventure. It’s a quick, confidence-boosting run that’s perfect for first-timers or a warm-up game.
Location
AI Overview
AIPlayers love the look, sound, and atmosphere, but repeatedly note it’s light on puzzles and leans into searching. Experienced teams finish fast and may find obvious time sinks. Several call it the venue’s easiest or older-feeling game, though still enjoyable overall.
WeaknessesNot many puzzles, with a search-heavy style and a couple of time sinks. Feels dated in places, and enthusiasts may breeze through quickly.
StrengthsSuperb theming with strong audio and effects, plus a striking start that pulls you in. Hands-on tasks and clear flow make it welcoming for newcomers.
SecurityNo safety issues are mentioned in the reviews; no further data provided. Expect standard escape-room briefings and supervision.
Level of fearNot a horror room; no jump scares mentioned. Feels suitable for families and kids with adults, despite the wartime theme.
Actors' gameNo data on live actors in this room. Interaction appears minimal beyond standard hosting.
Quality of riddlesStraightforward and fair but sparse, skewing toward finding things and simple, tactile steps. One sequence can snag teams briefly, yet most of it is easygoing.
PlotYou’re testing a time portal that drops you onto the Western Front in 1917, then racing to fix it before the bridge collapses. Light narrative, clear goal, and a punchy intro.
Difficulty levelBeginner-friendly and labeled by players as the easiest/starter room. Enthusiasts may finish in roughly 25–35 minutes and want more challenge.
