I understand that not everyone may be comfortable going out for an escape room game right now, but remote playing option has made it possible to enjoy this hobby in a safe environment. No chance of contracting the virus, and no need to leave the house! (Or wear pants!) Well, make sure you lower body is well obscured should you choose to omit essential clothing below the torso. Anyhoo~ Here's my review for remote escape room "VIRTUAL X-CAPER"... A really quick summary of the basic premise: Help captive Agent November escape the villain's hideout On a scale of 1-5, how much would I recommend this room: 6 (5 being an absolute need to tell everyone!) On a scale of 1-5, how memorable was this room: 5 (5 being I will remember it forever till I die!)

Agent November - Virtual Mission via Zoom - Arts & Entertainment Near Me

I think this one ties for my favorite virtual/remote escape room I've done during this pandemic. Excellent storyline, the best game master EVER, and a smooth, interactive experience that was really immersive, especially at the end. The humor was great and the puzzles were just the right level of difficulty for experienced players to enjoy. I highly recommend this room especially for those of us who live elsewhere and can't experience this room in person. I hope I can try their other rooms one day! Also you can tell this company is passionate about escape rooms and the whole experience. Recommend teams of 3-5. read more

I did their remote escape room Virtual-X Caper with some friends, and we had a great time. The puzzles are solid and the guy who acts as your avatar/agent does a great job of making it funny and entertaining. The room is low-tech, but the puzzle are solid and the experience is fun, so that was a complete non-issue. I did this with a group of friends, and we're all very experienced escape roomers. We had a much better time doing this room compared to many other much more expensive remote rooms, so I would not hesitate to recommend this room to anyone who likes puzzles or who is looking for a remote group activity. If you're looking into remote escape rooms, just book this one already. read more

I have done quite a few virtual escape rooms during the pandemic. This is one of my absolute favorites! The puzzles were fun and creative, with a great variety as well. Our agent was hilarious; we were cracking up the whole time! We did have some technical difficulties in the beginning, so we got some extra time to make up for it. For someone who missed in-person escape rooms, this definitely filled the void. I didn't even feel like I missed anything from the in-person experience. Best of all, I got to do this with one of my friends in the UK and another in HK. A great way to connect with friends across the globe during the-epidemic-that-shall-not-be-named. read more

What a fun way to spend a couple of hours on a Saturday afternoon! I met fellow Yelpers Joanne M and Jason M at the Charlton Street Coffee House (which is actually a pub). Here we had to find a member of who knew our password so that we could start our adventure. We were given the task of saving London from being blown up in a two hour timescale. Major X Plow-Shun wasleft brokenhearted by is female lover, and has placed a bomb in a suitcaseto destroy London. We were met in the coffee house by Agent November who briefed us on our mission. After signing the disclaimmer document and donning our agents trilby hats, were set about finding objects within the pub to help us solve the mystery. The clues were hidden in a message left by Mr X. Once we completed this part of the task, we were given a map with directions to a nearby open square. Here we were given clues to help us open the briefcase. Once solved the briefcase was opened. From this point were need to solve a further set of puzzles involving collecting objects and finding keys. We were on a 1 hour time limit to save London. We were running around the square (well Agent Joanne was) with walkie talkies to communicate with each other to get the mystery solved. Agent November was on hand should we need any guidance. This would be really good for a small team building event, as we were playing against the clock, and not other teams. It really helped that is was a warmish sunny afternoon. I would highly recommend Agent November for a fun afteroon with friends!! read more

Agent November revised Major X Ploe-Shun game incorporates new puzzles and clues to enhance your experience within this escape game bases within Tavistock Square Park.  A great game to play in the London summer sunshine, you are briefed by an agent explaining that Major X Ploe-Shun has returned to his evil ways and in order for you to save London you must find the bomb and deactivate it before it blows!  You have 60 minutes to find the clues which are located  within this beautiful park... Be aware of the red herring leading you astray..  The clues requires teamwork.. Also a big clue would be to read your clues out loud, it really works trust me!  The game really brings the players together and that working together is the only way journey will be able to figure things out and save the day.  I just admit there were a little hiccups along the way. . Such as a key I found was for one of the safes but I managed to open a clue box instead.. It was funny seeing our games master trying to find an excuse why it happen. Jason our games master was so engaging, he really brought the character to life.  Oh, start thinking of a code name as you will need one when you play.. Be inventive and enjoy!  This time round we managed to save London from the dreaded bomb.... 12 mins to spare! Woot Woot...  Thanks again for Love Pop Up London for organising another great escape game experience read more

I went on one of Agent November's top secret missions with 5 others to kick off a hen do and we had a fantastic time. The game (we did Major X Plow-Shun) is brilliantly well put together, from the starting point in the Doric Arch to the beautiful nearby Tavistock Square. It's not that easy either, so feels like a real challenge! Thoroughly recommended! read more

Once again, I was a lucky winner to take part in one of Agent November mission: A game of HEARTBREAK by MAJOR X Plow-Shun. Nathan Glover and his team put another twist on the immersive/escape room type of game by playing it outdoors. The mission: Major X Plow-Shun suffered a terrible HEARTBREAK when the object of his affection turned his marriage proposal down. Out of spite, he created a nuclear explosion device that you and your team will have to defuse to prevent the city of London to explode. This game requires speed, communication and organization skills. It's really fun to play as you get to talk to each other via talkie-walkie and have a whole park as your playground! So if you're tired of locking yourself in a room you have to escape from than this is your place! P.S. Thank you to @lovepopupslondon for the freebie, it was amazing! read more

Agent November's Virtual X Caper and Mind Heist are humorous, smart, entertaining, inventive and silly adventures. These missions are deftly hosted by Agent November and elevate the virtual experience to a uniquely engaging level. There are clever puzzles and tasks to be completed, but the interaction with our "Agent" and the improvisation that occurs is what makes this a memorable and highly enjoyable experience. read more

Agent November revised Major X Ploe-Shun game still showcases Major X Ploe-Shun's complex device that you have to unlock in order to prevent the destruction of key evidence against a crime gang. If you have played the original game, you'll know that the game is outdoors and that you'll be briefed and supervised by an agent at all times. This leaves you to focus on the task at hand, solving new riddles, puzzles and finding for clues around Tavistock square. This game is great to play when you want some time outdoors. Our team managed to escape with 12 minutes to spare because we had great team work and was familiar with an outdoors based-game. It's quite interesting and different to traditional locked in a room escape games because the agent will be with you at all times. This is beneficial if a lock fails to turn, or if a key opens a wrong box, as help is on hand and you are reassured if things are working the way that they should. I would definitely recommend this game. Thanks to Love Pop Ups London for organising the experience! read more

This has to be one of the best indoor/outdoor mysteries I have ever done. The game takes place in Euston firstly in a Coffee House and then in a park) Me and my friends played the Major X Plow-Shun challenge. We had to help save the world from a nuclear destruction from Major X Plow-Shiun. We had to find objects and solve clues to crack the code to disarm the nuclear device. You are firstly met by Agent November where you are briefed, given a waiver to sign, create you team name and given a choice of different detective hats to wear throughout your mission and walkie-talkies. No smartphones needed. You are then handed a letter this will then lead you onto seek out hidden objects around the coffee house. Once all the objects are found you are then given a map to a park (no bigger than a football field). This is then where we stayed to solve clues and seek out keys which was literally hidden everywhere within the park. The puzzles vary from picture puzzles, props etc. to help you solve and crack the code to disarm the device and save the world. Some of the clues given you have to have a collective imagination and think outside the box to solve. If at anytime we got stuck Agent November was there for brief guidance. We just ran out of time within seconds so alas the world was destroyed. I really felt like I was Aneka from Challenge Aneka but a spy version. I highly recommend to anyone that loves mysteries / treasure hunts. read more

Agent November provides a choice of both outdoor or indoor games which is a nice variety considering how many escape immersive events take place in one or the other. I was one of the lucky members courtesy of lovepopupslondon.com to do both missions and on a rare hot summer-like day too. When I first arrived at the venue for the indoor mission, Murder Mr. E., the location lived up to its 'disguise', for who would've guessed an immersive escape room would be residing inside a pub. Situated in the corner of the room behind panel screens with police tape draped across, you'll be forgiven for thinking that the quality of this make shift getup was lacking in quality. I had expected another room away from the pub's customers, and I did wonder about the public 'contaminating' the scene, which might've perhaps delayed or even ruined the game process. But fortunately, despite it being different from what I would expect in an escape room, it soon lived up to its thrill because as soon as the clocks started we all immersed ourselves in the game and for the next hour, forgot where we were. One of my concerns was the confusion in items that were actually a part of the game itself. I had on numerous occasions, picked up an object only to be told it wasn't part of the game aka litter lying around lol. However, what was fun was actually finding items that were clearly in front of you and the best part was finding and solving clues quickly one after the other and seeing them all fit together systematically. There were some difficulty in some areas with figuring out what to do next, but with the helpful prompts from Agent November himself, we were soon on our way. Although we worked through till the bitter end, we unfortunately got the wrong suspect (so close, so very close!) but seeing it all come together, especially in such a small area was incredible. My other nitpick was the area space. if given more space to move around with (we were potentially a team of 7), it would've allowed for more exploring and area to work out what was clearly a lot of items and objects found. Still, I've never done an escape room like this before and if you're looking for something different, with abit of challenge, and something to stimulate the mind, then this is a game to go for! It works out cheaper per person than an average escape room so you would get more value for your buck. The game delivers the same thrill as an actual 'roomed' escape room and although tricky at times to figure out some of the clues it wasn't impossible and once you get the actual answer, you'll be kicking yourself for not having figured it out earlier. ;-) For the outdoor game, titled MAJOR X PLOW-SHUN, the best way to describe it would be an escape room with a major expansion of space which was in contrast to the other game I played with the lack of space. I would say this was by far my favourite, as it was active and felt a lot like a treasure hunt. In fact, I would love to participate in the other game as the thrill and adrenaline was definitely there. Compared to Murder Mr. E., this game had fewer materials to work with, leading to less distraction and more teams to focus their concentration on as there were fewer amounts of tasks at hand. We were lucky to have the rare hot summery weather, so this doubled up as a lovely day out too (if you're up for some summer fun but with a twist, then this is a game to defo sign up for as its exhilarating and feels alot like an undercover mission, especially as we were all given our own radios and hats!!). There is alot of rushing and running involved and once you figured out the clues, you would never see the park in the same way again. Hidden in clever pockets of the park were key items which you must find to proceed and I have to say this is actually one of the best immersive outdoor experiences I was lucky enough to be involved in. The weather held out, and although we didn't get to the end of the game before the time ran out it was still alot of fun and extremely memorable so thanks Agent November. in terms of improvement, I reckon perhaps an extra 15 minutes would allow plenty of time to complete the game for when we saw how much we had left to do, it did leave us feeling abit disappointed we never got the chance to get that far and also in terms of prompting, perhaps hints should be given even when the players didn't ask for them which would've allowed us more time to move on to the next task without much delay but all in all, a fantastic game, well executed and defo one for Londoners to immerse themselves in. read more

Who needs an escape room if you can have a whole park in central London to solve riddles and save the city?!! Agent November never get's bored - you need to be fast though. I don't want to give anything away but the organisers were brilliant and played their parts very well! Team up with up to 7 people, since they offer the game outside - in two different parks - with two different storylines depending on the location. However the parks are really close to each other and would be perfect for team building events. We really enjoyed the game and the beautiful sunny day outside. Are you bored by being locked away in one single room - go and book this escape experience! You won't be disappointed! read more

I ended up booking Agent November for my friend's hen party. There were 11 of us, so we did it in two groups and they ran them concurrently. It was definitely a lot of fun. It's not quite as elaborate as the escape room events and not as long as some of the other special outdoor events I've done that are similar. But the puzzles are challenging, and when you've been drinking for a good part of the day and you're not in your best mental state, it worked out really well. All the people running it were super friendly and really helpful. It was a lot of fun running around to different locations and solving puzzles. As well as taking selfies of ourselves around different landmarks in the area! Highly recommended! read more

A team of us booked an Agent November challenge for my husband's birthday and it was absolutely awesome! From the moment you enter the Doric Arch Pub you become a detective. Its so much fun and you have a really good laugh. Well organised and a unique way to have fun in London. Agent November himself is really helpful and the whole concept is cleverly coordinated! I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to do something a little wacky and different. A great start to the husband's 25th birthday. read more
