• Don't Bother!
  
  Having done many escape rooms in both London, across the UK and in different countries, we tried the Capital Caper Escape Room and it has to be the WORST escape room we have ever done.
  
  Despite the ominous location (thought we were going to someone's flat), when we first entered the room we had high hopes as it initially looked like a well dressed room and the staff member was very pleasant. However, things then went downhill once we started. Ultimately there are very few puzzles to solve which in essence makes this escape room bad value for money.
  
  Please do not go here if this is your first escape room experience as you will be put off which is a shame as there are many many many wonderful escape rooms out there - this is just not it!
  
  It would appear that things are faulty and broken within the room. Probably from previous people getting frustrated with what is a fundamentally a very basic and flawed escape experience.
  
  We encountered a series of problems which even resulted early on in the game master having to come inside the room. This did not bode well for the rest of the game (looking back now, at that point the experience was already ruined). The radio response was also very slow and we had to repeat our calls several times.
  
  Multiple times, we had solved a clue but things were not triggered correctly - we had to state exactly what we had done on the radio rather than things happen automatically. At that point the next thing would be triggered - this was extremely frustrating, not immersive and tainted the whole experience.
  
  In the laser room, there was a laser that was not working and this puzzle seemed to be visually triggered by the game master. After a while the game master realised that the first laser was not working so stopped penalizing us for it as we had been working on solving it correctly.
  
  Escape Room: Limited puzzles, really not worth wasting money on solving approx. 5 clues. One of the puzzles is also wrong as it doesn't correctly follow the rules of chess. If you don't have a King on your board you have already lost the game! Puzzle can still be solved but this was "not the correct answer", therefore the 'king' is actually a queen. When talking this through with the game master they just said "I don't play chess".
  
  Other things to note: The whole place has low ceilings - bumped our heads multiple times. It is also pretty hot in the room.
  
  Once we escaped there was nothing - we have so many photos of our experiences after joyous escape rooms and this was the first time there was no photo and we just left.

• This was the best escape room I’ve been to. By far the best experience we’ve had. The rooms were extremely imaginative and detailed. We tried Capital Caper which was a jewellery heist escape room, and it didn’t disappoint. Would recommend to anyone.

• Had great fun playing the Capital Caper yesterday. Although we were a little lost at the beginning, the game fought up quickly with a couple of tips from the game master. Managed to escape in time thanks to the master and have generally really enjoyed the puzzles. The location is a little quirky adding up the charm of the experience.

• I went to this escape room for a date and what can i say, Mazer Zone exceeded all my expectations. I booked the room Capital Caper with my girlfriend and we had a great time, we've done escape rooms before so we had a bit of an idea how they work but the creativity and interesting plotpoints is what made our experience just that much better
  
  if you're thinking of going to an escape room in a good location, think Mazer Zone

• Myka, the young host, was brilliant, friendly and helpful. He provided the perfect amount of nudges in the right direction, without giving a lot away. A fun time was had by all
  
  and we'll definitely return and have a bash in the other room!

• Mazer Zone Escapes is a must-visit in Camden! The jewellery heist escape room was an absolute blast and kept us on our toes the whole time. The puzzles were challenging and required us to put our heads together to solve them.
  
  The attention to detail in the room design was impressive, and we were fully immersed in the experience. The staff were friendly and helpful, adding to the overall fun atmosphere.
  
  I highly recommend Mazer Zone Escapes to anyone looking for a fun and exciting challenge. It's perfect for a group of friends or colleagues looking to bond over a unique experience. Don't miss out on this incredible adventure!
