First time doing an escape room? You're going to want to watch this. 🎬

We've put together a short video covering the 7 things first-time players almost always get wrong — from crowding the same puzzle to treating the clock like the enemy. Every single one of them is fixable with a bit of know-how before you walk in the door.

Whether you're planning a family outing, a birthday, or a team catch-up, knowing these ahead of time genuinely makes the experience better. Drop a comment if any of these sound like your group! 😄

T James

We were having an amazing time until an honest mistake ruined the rest of our visit. We accidentally took a photo in the room, largely because a 'no cameras' policy was never clearly communicated to us prior to starting. Instead of a polite reminder, the staff reacted unpleasantly, treating us poorly and rushing us to finish and leave (that's how it felt to us anyway). They did try to explain afterward, but by that point, the experience was already sullied. Better communication clarifying that 'no phones' strictly means 'no photos' would have been appreciated.

Response from the owner:Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that what was otherwise an enjoyable experience ended on a disappointing note. We do understand that mistakes can happen, and we certainly don’t want any guest to feel uncomfortable or unwelcome. However, we would like to clarify that our no-phone and no-photography policy is communicated to all teams before entering the rooms as part of our safety briefing. There is also clear signage inside the building, next to the TVs, reminding guests that photography is not permitted. The reason for this policy is not simply about phones. Our rooms, puzzles, clues, props and game design are original intellectual property that we have invested considerable time and money creating. Like any business, we need to protect that intellectual property so that the experience remains special for future customers. Our staff are required to address photography when it occurs, and we’re sorry if the way this was handled left you feeling rushed or that you were being treated poorly. That was certainly not our intention. We did try to explain the reason for the policy afterwards, but we appreciate that by then the situation had affected your experience. We’re genuinely pleased to hear that you were having an amazing time before this happened, and we’re disappointed that the misunderstanding changed how you felt about your visit. We appreciate your feedback and will continue to look for ways to make our pre-game briefing as clear as possible for every team.

Have experienced 2 different escape rooms now and enjoyed both times. Lotsa fun with friends, helpful if you don't all think the same lol. Nice friendly staff, accessible location with good parking, easy to book online. Would definitely do again, you just want to challenge yourself to do better, best way don't over think it!

Response from the owner:Thanks so much, Linda! ⭐ It sounds like you’re officially been converted to escape rooms. We love that you’ve tackled two different rooms and had a great time with both. And you’re absolutely right — having a team that doesn’t all think the same way is half the fun! Sometimes the biggest challenge is convincing everyone that your idea is the right one. 😂 Thanks for the lovely comments about our team, location and easy online booking too. We’d love to see you back for round three… we have a feeling you’ll be determined to beat your previous times! 🔐⏱️ Genie & Lindsay

We have done the spy adventure and it was we'll set up, pretty hard to solve and the team was super friendly and helpful. And we could bring our dog. Which was great.

What a blast! Haven't had such a genuine, fun time in a long time. As a family, we did the Blackbeard's Treasure escape room and it was some serious fun. Let's just say we are now PIRATES OF THE SEVEN SEAS!

We had a great time celebrating our teenagers birthday - teens in one room and adults in the other. Loads of fun.

Response from the owner:Thank you for the review Aimee, good to hear both teams had heaps of fun.

Jo Watson

So much fun thank you!!! This was a family Christmas present and we had so many laughs.... we split into two teams and tried to stop a train with a bomb on it.... needless to say we were greatly challenged and failed 😂😂 But had so much fun in doing so... a great way to spend time with our teenage and adult children! Thank you! We will be back!

Response from the owner:Thank you Jo, it was great to see the competitiveness between the two teams. We look forward to seeing you again.
