Review: Carfax - Cave Escape, Nottingham

Room Story - from Cave Escape Journey across oceans of time as you descend into Victorian England, fearfully held under the cold grasp of something dark... evil... Undead. Key Stats Room Name Carfax Venue Cave Escape Location Nottingham, UK Date 23/03/2019 Escape Time 44:49 Team Size 3 My Recommended Team Size 2 - 4 Review It feels like Carfax is one of those games that everybody is talking about. Whenever we’ve visited any escape room recently, I swear that most of them have mentioned this game and how good it is. That’s why we had to go and play. This game was the 2nd of 6 games on our East Midlands escape room weekend. Cave Escape has a very gothic looking entrance at the bottom of a main road that makes its way out of Nottingham city centre.

It feels like you’re taking a step back in time.

This was the first game of our trip to get our brains warmed up. Break Escape is situated in Loughborough town centre next to a cinema and restaurant complex. It’s easy to find with cheap parking nearby. We received the standard health and safety briefing and introduction to the room story. One interesting element in this game is that there are a number of side quests that allow you to get crystals that deduct time from your game. The main goal of the game, however, is t
