We visited Hounds Immersive Experiences on Friday 5th December 2025 for our work Christmas social. We split into two teams of 7 players as the rooms can accomodate roughly 8 players each. to take on their mission-style escape rooms. The whole experience was outstanding from start to finish and we had such a great time. Each room was varied length with our teams completing them in just under an hour each. The staff were brilliant. Their energy, acting and interaction with our players added so much fun to the experience, creating plenty of laughs, nicknames and memerable moments, whilst still keeping us fully engaged in the story and progressing through the rooms. They struck the perfect balance between guidance and letting us figure things out ourselves. We would highly reccomend interacting and going along with the actors to step outside of your comfort zone as it makes the experience even that bit better! The rooms themselves were extremely well designed, with each space incredibly immersive, atmospheric and genuinely giving the feeling of being transported into another world. The puzzles were clever, varied and a good level of challenge, without ever feeling overwhelming. Every element felt well thought out, you can tell a huge amount of creativity and detail has gone into building these rooms and we would love to see if there are any more to com in the future! The structure of the experience worked really well. Everything was clearly explained at the start, the storyline was easy to follow, and the missions flowed smoothly from one stage to the next. Having an escape room experience that combine great acting, strong narrative and polished puzzle design so effectively is brilliant. The pricing for the experience was very fair and great value for the quality of the experience. We all felt we received excellent value, especially considering the level of production and the professionalism of the team running it. Overall, we had a fantastic time and every member of our group came away buzzing, and talking about it all evening. We would highly recommend anyone looking for a fun, immersive and memorable team activity to visit Hounds! We’ll definitely be returning for more missions in the future.

We did the Explorer’s Diary at Hounds and wow, absolutely amazing! I’ve done numerous escape rooms, and their theming is truly top tier. Every detail felt thoughtfully crafted and totally immersive. Our hosts, Lady Brenda and Sir Edwin, were hilarious and kept us laughing out loud from start to finish. The perfect mix of adventure, creativity, and fun. Highly recommend.

What an incredible experience! David, Izzy and Quinn were outstanding and ran the Acid Bath Experience for us, the immersive nature combined with the challenging puzzles made it such a memorable and unique level of entertainment. We will be recommending this to everyone we know! Thank you team

We’ve done quite a few escape rooms and this was easily one of our favourites if not our favourite. We all thoroughly enjoyed it. We did Southern Discomfort and it was great fun with a good level of challenging but not overly difficult puzzles. The icing on the cake was a brilliant performance by our southern belle host( sorry forgot her name ) who stayed in character perfectly the whole time and really added to the overall enjoyment. We will definitely be returning to experience the rest of the games and would 100% recommend Hounds to anyone who will listen. Thanks again to our lovely host can’t wait to come back for the rest. 10/10 a really great experience. We Loved it !

This place is a fantastic experience as soon as you walk in the door! I've been to some lazily put together escape room businesses, but this is not that. The Kennel Klub bar is beautifully decorated and well presented, and you can get drinks while you wait for your experience to start. The staff were superb, friendly and welcoming the whole time. We did the Southern Dis-Comfort experience today, and it was a lot of fun and really well put together. Everything worked great, the effects were on point, and Lexi (our guide) was a lot of fun and really got into their role. We're definitely considering coming back for more.

Fantastic escape rooms with friendly and talented staff. Arnold was an excellent host and we completed The Explorer's Diary with only 55 seconds remaining. We were with a less experienced group and were given just the right amount of help to keep things fun without spoiling the experience. Lot of fun, I would recommend Hounds to those looking to try out escape rooms and experienced players alike.

We love Hounds! The bestie an I have done quite a few different escape rooms and Hounds is definitely one of our favourites. We've done all three available so far and each one has been brilliant. The puzzles are challenging with a good spread between logic, physical and team coordination. What's really made it for us has been the effort put into the details - the rooms are all brilliantly constructed (although could prove challenging for big teams), torches are provided for some of the darker rooms (some places don't and it can often be tricky to see padlocks etc). I want to give a special shout out to the hosts. The three we've had have been brilliant and really made the experience for us. They come and get you from the bar already in character and do a great job of breaking the ice. They stay in character throughout, right up until you're ready to leave. They really do make a difference to the game. The bar area is very pleasant and, although we've not yet sampled them, there's a good range of cocktails on offer. It would make a great evening out.
