Went 4 years ago, almost to the day, for the original game.

The new "Mind of Moriarty" experience is just as good and the staff just as brilliant and very accommodating around our travel delay situation.
Entertaining challenges that make you think. Well monitored with appropriate hints if needed.
The bar at the end has increased its offerings since last time and the (unisex) toilets are well maintained.
Looking forward to the next installment!
It was our second visit and we completed the Mind of Moriarty game this time - same great experience and super staff. Totally recommend

Loved it. We did The Mind of Moriarty which was even better than the one we did before (The Sherlock one).

Challenging, but not too challenging. Different types of problems meant that all of us had a chance to shine. Lots of teamwork required which makes it inclusive. Our age range was 14 to 49 and we all got involved.
Great staff, attention to detail and finishing touches really get you into the game. Highly recommend.
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.
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!!
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.
