Latest reviews of escape rooms in Edinburgh

I had a fantastic experience, the game master Tayler was very helpful and patient. We had never been before and found it quite difficult although Tayler was really helpful and guided us through whenever we were struggling, 100% recommend and will definitely be going back. :)

Really good escape room would recommend . Matthew was a really good instructor and was not shy towards my group

Matthew April 26, 2025

Deacon's Cabinet may be the best escape room (out of over fifty) I've done. It's only one room, but it feels almost alive, with how much they packed into it.

Hats off to Beth, who got us into the spirit with some top notch acting.

TimMarch 8, 2025

Escape the Past is our favourite escape room in Edinburgh! We loved the historical details and little touches that made it feel extra atmospheric! We did the Deacon Brodie one this time and it was so enjoyable, thanks to Beth and Julia for making it so fun! We hope they can add a third room one day!

EleanorMay 11, 2025

Clearly a lot of thought and attention has gone into the new room, was good fun and lots of fresh ideas as well which made the experience that much more enjoyable.

GeoffMay 10, 2025

We did the Anatomist yesterday and immediately booked for Deacon’s Cabinet today and can highly recommend both, Beth our gamesmaster was amazing, and both rooms have so much thought and attention to them.
