Key Stats Room Name Interstellar Venue Trapped In Location Bury, UK Date 2018/02/18 Escape Time 60:15 - Technically a loss Team Size 3 My Recommended Team Size 3 - 5 Review This was our first visit to Trapped In. It’s situated in a converted office building behind the main street in Bury Town Centre. Conveniently, there’s a car park right next door so it was easy to get to and easy to find. There are a couple of large signs outside the building so you really can’t miss it. The waiting area is filled with a lot of table based puzzl...

Review: Curio - Escapologic, Nottingham

Room Story - from Escapologic Be careful what you wish for. An Englishman's home is his castle. Or his curio if he's a treasure hunter who's spent a lifetime collecting trinkets from all four corners of the globe. Alexander Curio was a true eccentric. A legendary explorer who left no stone unturned in his search for gems and gimcracks. To him, life was a gamble, with fate to be decided on a whim or a flip of a coin. A mysterious loner who loved to raise the stakes until they could be raised no higher. show more.... Alexander's life was one big puzzle. Only a select few ever got beyond his front door. You're about to join their exclusive ranks. At first glance, Curio looks like the home of an explorer whose passion for chasing treasures has taken him from the Thames to Timbuktu. But the clue lies in the name. Secrets lie within her seemingly innocent walls and trinkets hold the key to untold riches. Fortune favours the brave but riches come at a price. Who ...

Review: Howitz v1 - Escapologic, Nottingham

Room Story - from Escapologic A tragic loss. A happy family destroyed. A desperate man, irresistibly drawn to dark forces. As the door slams shut behind you, you're trapped in the world of Eli Howitz, an enigmatic figure whose gut-wrenching story pervades every millimetre of the room. show more.... Just what happened in Eli's toy shop? You've heard the rumours. You know the horror stories off by heart. But how much truth is there in the police report? Can there really be ritualistic carvings on the walls? They say there were glowing symbols, and toys that whirred, clicked, and span on their own... Our resident genius created Howitz after too little sleep and too many disturbing movies! There are scenes of a nature that might upset in here. Of all the escape rooms in Nottingham, this is the one that could cause sleepless nights. If that kind of thing messes with your head, we recommend leaving the door locked on this one.
