Review: The Haligonian - The Escaporium, Halifax

Room Story - from The Escaporium Enter the newly discovered private Halifax museum of Mr. P. Saul and find out what he has been the guardian of all this time! Key Stats Room Name The Haligonian Venue The Escaporium Location Halifax, UK Date 22/07/2018 Escape Time 53:17 Team Size 3 My Recommended Team Size 3 - 6 Review We played Operation Moonshine at The Escaporium a short time ago. We really enjoyed that game so knew we had to go back and play their other game soon. The Haligonian is located in a different building just across the road from Operation Moonshine in the historic Piece Hall. On the day we visited, there was a food festival (Chow Down) taking place in the centre of The Piece Hall with lots of different food and drink on offer. This is taking place on different weekends throughout the summer so it’s a great day out for food and escape room fans. The Haligonian (which means somebody who comes from Halifax) is a game

Review: Corruption - Lucardo, Rawtenstall

Room Story - from Lucardo You are a bunch of cops working on an operation to bust a notorious criminal gang known for car theft, robbery, kidnap and murder. Police headquarters have been tipped off about a hideout and will conduct a raid in 60 minutes’ time. The only problem? You’ve been corrupted and are working with the gang. You’ll need to sabotage the hideout, dispose of incriminating evidence and plant clues to lead your colleagues in another direction. Can you stay one step ahead of the law and escape without a prison sentence?

One team took on University of Magic and my team took on Espionage at Lucardo in Manchester. We had a team of 5 with a mix of people who’d played a few games before and some who’d played none at all before. We received a good briefing from o

Review: Edith - Unescapable, Derby

Room Story - from Unescapable When we first open a time portal we send one of our scientists back to make sure everything is ok and it is all safe and stable - we sent Edith, but unfortunately she hasn’t returned… We’ve now lost communication with her, but we do know that she was trying to shut the portal down when something stopped her. We need your team to finish the job - we would go ourselves but we’re too scared.

As the time drew nearer, we grew more and more nervous about what to expect. And when Unescapable won an award for the scariest escape room in the country, we wondered what we’d let ourselves in for. At Unescapable, the theming and immersion starts from when you enter the
