Escape game: Capital Caper
Don't Bother!
David
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.
Escape game: Da Vinci
This is a 1 star - I don't get how this is at 5 stars, all the reviews can't possibly be genuine.

The room is poorly kept, almost all the props on the walls / tables are broken in some way. The puzzles are old and finnicky, often need jamming for them to register your correct input. The design is very poor, the puzzles feel disconnected from each other and you have to spend 10 minute after completing your puzzle trying to figure out what you unlocked. The puzzles themselves are nothing to write home about, align a bunch of discs, put dominoes together, pull on books, and are often way too obvious (there's clearly visible light sensors on some of the puzzles for example)
I would not recommend this to anyone except someone that has done literally all other rooms in London and needs a fix.
Escape game: Taken II - The Last Chance
I invited two friendto this escape room with me and it was very fun. Me and one other friend cowered in a corner for the first 10 minutes but it really wasn't as scary as we thought it would be. At a request, our host told us when a jumpscare was coming which gave us confidence and we were able to get out with 15 minutes to spare. Will defo come back and would reccomend this escape room to anyone.

Escape game: Trapped Undercover
Our family visited 'Trapped Escape Rooms' for our first escape room experience. We chose to do the 'Trapped Undercover!' theme, which was quite unique in that it all takes place within a surveillance van as opposed to a room.

We each of us thought the whole scenario was extremely well implemented and were impressed with the varied range of puzzle elements to be solved in order to pass the challenge.
Very glad that we managed to complete the challenge with some minutes to spare. A good time was had by all. A special thanks to Agent Beckett, who made the experience more immersive and enjoyable.
Would definitely recommend this company (and scenario). Many thanks!!
Escape game: Trapped In A Room With A Zombie
10/10 experience, worth every penny. We went for my daughters 16th Birthday, with a group of friends, booked the zombie experience, which was a MOVIE!!! It was Fun, Challenging and Exciting. Would definitely be returning.

Escape game: Trapped In A Room With A Zombie
Went with friends to a Zombie Escape Room with Molly as our zombie! What an experience, had a great time, scared, but ran out of time to escape and became her meal!

Escape rooms are taking the United Kingdom by storm! The goal of the game is to find a way out of a locked room within the given time limit. Work as a team to solve logical puzzles, uncover clues, and follow the storyline to unravel the mystery. Each riddle brings you one step closer to the ultimate escape!
