Key Stats Room Name The Prison Venue Lucardo Location Manchester, UK Date 09/06/2019 Escape Time 43:03 Team Size 3 My Recommended Team Size 3 - 4 Review We’ve managed to get this far playing escape rooms without playing a single prison themed room. That run was always going to come to an end, and I think we’ve probably done it with one of the best prison themed rooms around. This is not an ordinary escape room, this is...

Room Story - from Lucardo A serial killer is on the loose. Every hour, on the hour for the past 24 hours a murder has taken place.

We’ve always enjoyed Lucardo’s games, so we thought we’d go along and “complete” the venue. After the standard briefing, we were given our task. As members of a police force, we were tasked wi...

Room Story - from Lucardo You have been offered a place to study at the mystical University of Magic. In order to secure your place, you will need to cast spells, recite incantations, mix potions and battle with dark forces. Do you have what it takes to play this ultimate escape room and become the next Witch or Wizard of the University of Magic? Key Stats Room Name University of Magic: The Entrance Exam Venue Lucardo Location Manchester, UK Date 21/10/2018 Escape Time 47:27 Team Size 3 My Recommended Team Size 3 - 5 Review I got a gift voucher as a work leaving present to play University of Magic (take a look at this post that reveals the quest I had to complete to get my voucher code!). Out of all the escape rooms we’ve ever played, University of Magic is the busiest room I’ve ever encountered as it’s usually booked up for the next month. If you want a Saturday game, it’s usually two months before you find an open slot. So other ...

Room Story - from Lucardo Your dreams are always happy and delightful, but tonight something is going wrong. Your wildest dreams of finding the magic numbers are slowly slipping away, through a whirlwind of riddles, puzzles and illusions. Can you solve your way out of this dream before your chances get lost in the subconscious forever? Be aware, things may not be as they appear! Key Stats Room Name The Dream Venue Lucardo Location Manchester, UK Date 01/09/2018 Escape Time 51:30 Team Size 3 My Recommended Team Size 3 - 5 Review The Dream has been on my to-play list for quite some time and when Lucardo shared a time-limited offer on Facebook to get 20% off, I couldn’t resist diving into my empty escape room fund to book a game. I’d heard good things about The Dream and the theme sounded very appealing and different. After a joint welcome briefing with a few other teams we separated off and received a briefing about th...

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...
