The storytelling and attention to detail were exceptional, and it really felt like we were stepping into another world.

Lots of lovely little details have been included that really envelope you in the world and a really good story running through the room too.

The room itself was exceptional in the completeness of the theme and how engaging and interactive all the elements were.

Amanda and Michael
We did Trapped In Peter Pan today and wow. We have done 50-60 rooms over the last 3 years and this has gone straight to the top of my list of favourites! So much fun, enjoyed every second! The smiles say it all.
Taylor
Great family friendly escape room. I booked this so the whole family could enjoy an escape room (aged 4 – grandparent age). It didn’t disappoint! The Games Master was welcoming and helpful. The rest of the group were escape room veterans and enjoyed every minute in the room.
Kelly
We have done over 50 escape rooms and this was a brilliant room, that has clearly been made with lots of love. There was a nice mix of mental and physical tasks and we had great fun throughout the game.
Matt
Great fun! Took me by surprise. It was my first escape room, so wasn’t sure what to expect, but I loved every minute of it.
The Andersons
We loved the whimsy and the twists on familiar games, there is something for everyone here and we loved it.
