The Asylum room was so much fun and just the right amount of scary! (But definitely not for those afraid of the dark 🤭) Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for an escape room. Matt was great and helped us know what to expect for when we got inside the room ☺️

I went to the Asylum for first time with my friend for her birthday. We refused treatment and were able to escape the psychotic therapist. Alex was amazing and helped guide us through the Asylum let back out into society untreated. We can’t wait to come back and play :)

My therapist, Doctor Alex almost fixed me - I didn’t think it was possible. I’m finally close to being normal. I can’t wait to come back to the Asylum and be treated again. I may then, finally be able to function within society. I realised for the first time, how inspiring it was to be chained up. What a revelation. I can’t wait to explore my new personality. Thank you, Doctor.

Had such an amazing time doing the Asylum escape room! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was already intense — dim lighting, creepy details, and that uneasy feeling like something could jump out at any second. The set design was seriously impressive, and the puzzles were clever, challenging, and perfectly themed. It wasn’t just about solving clues; it really felt like we were inside a psychological thriller. What I loved most was how immersive everything felt. The sound effects, the storyline, and the flow between rooms kept the adrenaline going the entire time. It was challenging but still fair , every puzzle made sense once we figured it out, and the progression felt super satisfying. Huge shoutout to our game master, Mischa! Mischa absolutely nailed it — the perfect balance of staying in character while still guiding us at the right moments. The hints were subtle and well-timed, never giving too much away but helping us stay on track. You could tell they genuinely wanted us to have the best experience possible. The energy and enthusiasm made the whole session even better. If you’re looking for something immersive, thrilling, and seriously fun, the Asylum room is 100% worth it. We’ll definitely be back for another challenge! 🔥

Have been through multiple rooms now and always had a great experience. The rooms are varying in difficulty and theme with something for everyone. What stands out the most is the attention to detail in the room designs, great aesthetically and engaging games. The staff have been a highlight with great service, accommodating kids who were first time players. We had Dean most recently who was warm and attentive, will definitely be back!
