Would highly recommend - Took a group of 9-11 year olds, they had a fantastic time and managed without too much help! The host was excellent, and I'm sure we'll go again!

Good service, fun time. - Went as a party of 8 with family and friends. Really fun time and challenging but not too hard. Teenage children enjoyed it too and had to switch on their brains.

Thrills and spills on a magical mystery tour - I booked the Merlin Escape Room for my daughter's birthday - 6 girls, all aged between 9 and 10 years. The puzzles were quite challenging for them, but they really enjoyed working against the hourglass to crack the code! A great birthday party experience that would suit adults and children alike. Would definitely go back.

We managed to escape the room! - It was really fun for our family – we had a great time as a family of eight and five children under 10 we were only engaged and it was great fun for everybody.

Magical escape room that's perfect for kids - Went as part of my daughter's 11th birthday party... 7x kids and me! It was awesome: the puzzles were nicely pitched to their level (and I enjoyed it too!) would definitely recommend.

Wonderful Wizarding Afternoon - Another amazing afternoon! The staff again were fantastic and really catered for our son during the experience. He has not stopped talking about our little helper in the room 🤣Great family activity to do and wouldn’t want to spend my Mother’s Day any other way. Can’t thank the staff enough for their extra support with the sensory things in the room. Puzzles were family friendly and my son was able to help with them all.

Really enjoyable would recommend - Really enjoyed this family experience. We did the Merlin room which we thought was perfectly pitched. Plenty to make you think but not so hard you got bored. Staff were really great

In Merlin's Magical World - Great fun! 8 - 76 year old together! Amber intervened eerily appropriately and we all enjoyed it. There were 8 of us - would say too many people ideally, but we weren't too serious about it and have had lots of giggles since!!! Thankyou.
