Booked this place when I went for a visit overseas to Liverpool. Didn't know what to expect, but I…read morehave to say I was very pleased. Ryan was the dude who took care of us and helped us along the way in our Heist escape room, and he was a total professional! Enjoyed both the room, and although we didn't manage to escape, we still had lots of fun, and I highly recommend doing this place in Liverpool if you're ever there!

As an escape room (and groupon) junkie I couldn't pass up an opportunity for a Blueprint game when…read moreI saw it on Groupon. Brilliant set up and great variety of puzzles, fun and challenging. The looks pretty authentic - as if you stepped in to cold war times via time machine. Highly recommend!

Whilst we're in the UK we decided to do an escape room with @xscape_now in Telford. For those of…read moreyou who have never done this before you have to try it! Basically you get locked in a room and have 1 hour to get out which is only achievable by solving a series of puzzles and clues! Previously when doing these kind of rooms we have always chosen the horror themed ones but this time we went a bit different choosing 'Escape From Mars'. The story being you are stuck in a badly damaged science base on the red planet's surface and will die unless you figure out how to restore the oxygen supply. Oh, and there's an asteroid on a collision course to you! there were some nice little #scifi references to #startrek and #raybradbury etc. A lot of fun, much better than one we completed in Manchester, but not as interactive as some we've done in LA or Stockholm. The puzzles were well thought out and challenging, in fact we actually didn't complete the room within the time! We will say that it would benefit from more sound FX and live action play (guys in costumes). However the staff were v helpful and friendly, venue was easy to reach with plenty of parking, overall a really fun time and pretty good value for money! Definitely would come again! GROSS SCORE: 7/10

The room is well themed and the difficulty level was good. There was only two of us playing and with Dee's help we got out with 8 minutes to spare. I 100% recommend.

What could be better than being locked in a room for an hour on a Friday night? Now, I am fully…read moreaware that that could sound like some peoples personal hell, but I totally dug my escape rooms experience.... I had first heard about Escape Rooms after two of my Elites had visited one on their honeymoon in the US. I was actually clueless about the whole thing before they had explained it's kinda like your own little detective experience with a goal of figuring out a mystery and getting out within a certain time. I don't know about you, but after years of watching Castle, CSI, Elementary and Jonathan Creek - I fancy myself a little bit of an expert when it comes to sleuthing and I fancied my chances at having a go at figuring out a mystery myself. I got a top notch team together (me, Dan, Lucy, her partner Dan and Mike) and off we set to solve a mystery and escape. First thing to note is that if you're not 100% familiar with the Jewellery Quarter, it might be a little tough to find. As a guide, head to St Paul's Square, follow the path towards the arches (heading past Anderson's and Oliver James Salon), cross the road, head under the arch and it's situated on Henrietta Street (to your right hand side). If you're coming in from Constitution, take the road opposite the Hen and Chickens to your left. I have uploaded a photo for recognition purposes. We had booked online (highly recommended as this place gets busy) and we were greeted by the lovely Jordan who explained the rules to us. You get 60 minutes to get yourself out and are handed a radio to ask for clues if you need them (you can have up to 6 clues). We had opted for the "Dr Wilson's Office" room (rather than the horror themed scenario - "Room 13") and after a brief explanation about instructions, got locked in and told to have fun. Now, I'm not going to spoil the experience for you... but be prepared to use all your noggin to figure this one out. The rules are clear and it's lots of fun, but you will need to use some of the clues to escape (unless you're some kind of genius). Our team managed to escape with 7:33 left on the clock and only 3 clues used. The best record ever was a team who had tried many escape rooms all over the world and only used 2 clues and had 18 minutes to spare. I loved this intense, immersive experience. I would recommend getting a team together (a team of 5 is £70 - so £14 each) and giving it a go as something different to do on an evening and weekend. We enjoyed ourselves so much, we're going back to try out Room 13. Stay tuned to see if we manage to get that one!

A good puzzle :) The escape rooms has 4 rooms to escape from, and they were just the right level of…read morecomplexity, we did need the occasional hint but it really was just a hint. Our group did room 13 and took us just under an hour, apparently that is quite good with around a 10% success rate. All of our group had fun and were mentally challenged throughout the tasks set before us, glad we did not attempt this after we had been drinking. We had booked all 4 rooms and then we split up into our four groups, again this is a great activity for a large group or small as you could do all four rooms at different times if you wanted. The staff were great at setting the scene and also were polite and easy to get along with throughout, there is also a bar on site so once finished you can congratulate each other or commiserate over a drink. We loved this and I suspect i will be back in the future.

We took on a 4* room (the name of which escapes me) themed on escaping a murderers lair before he returned to, well, murder us! The room was suitably creepy, with imitation knives, axes and body parts scattered around the room. The only problem was that the most challenging part of the room was that it was very dimly lit. We escaped with nearly 12 minutes to spare, but I feel like if the lights had been on, we'd have escaped much sooner as there weren't that many puzzles to complete, and they were relatively easy once we were able to see them. I would like to come back and try a different room though as it was fun, just a bit easy. Nice bar and waiting area which is a big plus, although you can't take drinks into the room with you.
