About the escape room
Area 51 - Roswell is a highly debated subject. Imagine something similar on your doorstep… Rumour has it that in Stoke there was an incident and hidden away in a basement there is evidence to prove it. No one knows what it contains but you and your friends are about to find out as you have stumbled across it. Does your group have what it takes to determine if it is a conspiracy or the real thing?

Overview of artificial intelligence
AIGuests consistently rave about the hosting, calling out Ben, Andy, Sarah, Karl, and Arabelle for great briefings, warmth, and well-timed hints. The puzzle mix feels varied and fair, with a few red herrings that can stall progress, especially early on. Many teams finish in the last minute, which keeps tension high without feeling punishing. Works well for families, teens, first-timers, and even teams of two.
WeaknessesRed herrings and a couple of props can throw teams off for a bit, leading to extra hints. A few groups reported a rocky start or narrowly missing the finish.
StrengthsStandout hosting and clear guidance elevate the whole experience. Puzzles are diverse, immersive, and spark plenty of laughs and teamwork.
SecurityBriefings are clear and the team checks in throughout, so players feel looked after. Rooms are well run and instructions are easy to follow.
Level of fearNot a scare-fest; the tension is all about the clock. Safe for kids and teens, with no horror elements mentioned.
Actors' gameHosts are lively, patient, and quick on the draw with tailored nudges. Multiple names get praise, suggesting consistently strong game mastering across the team.
Quality of riddlesGood variety and devious in a fun way, from logic to search and interpretive tasks. Mostly fair, though a handful of red herrings can slow momentum. Multi-room flow keeps things fresh and collaborative.
PlotA basement conspiracy vibe ties the rooms together as you test whether the Roswell-style story is hoax or truth. The narrative builds as you unlock each space without heavy spoilers.
Difficulty levelMid-level challenge with a tight finish; beginners can win with a few hints, while veterans won’t be bored. Expect a couple of bottlenecks but overall a balanced climb.
