   Mum and son team went on the 3/4/24 we have enjoyed the whole experience. We have picked Room 13 and the puzzle wasn't overly hard that made you feel defeated. ( There was only 2 of us). It was a little bit scary sometimes. Anyway We did managed to break the game before the time is up. Props and settings is amazing! Gamemaster George has been very helpful and entertaining and so is all the staff there. Will definitely try a harder room next time.

   As soon as I entered I was greeted by a very friendly host. They really tried to put me at ease as this was the first time doing an escape room. Once our whole group had arrived and we filled out the waiver form on the tablet, our experience began. Our hosts led us to a viewing room for our induction, which involved the backstory of our escape room theme. The host was very passionate and gave a lot of effort into the performance. Afterwards we were led to our escape room. Although a few of the puzzles went over my head, they had very well placed clues, so we used others and we found keys by chance. Overall I feel your experience is very much dependent on your group, how well you work together and the chemistry. But for our first experience it was very enjoyable and had a lot of laughs. So for my own experience I can't really critique it so I would say overall experience 5/5

   We went to Houdini's as part of my 30th birthday and did the Titanic room. There were 6 of us and we managed to complete the room in just over 44 minutes getting us onto the leaderboard! The room was great fun and had some surprises which always adds to the atmosphere. Our host Nathan was also incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. Thank you to you for a lovely evening!

   Really good time thank you! Out host, Chloe, was really friendly and lovely, and the room (we did titanic) had a really good mix of puzzle types and was super engaging. I loved the storyline, and we thouroughly enjoyed ourselves! The only thing I will say is that the room was a bit easier than other rooms we've done in the past- although I still preferred it :)

   I should preface this by saying we’ve already done the Extinct and the Titanic escape rooms with Houdinis and LOVED them both. I’ve done a fair few rooms over the country and extinct was the best one I’ve ever done. With that in mind we booked the Alcatraz one, and unfortunately were so disappointed. Apart from the fact that the puzzles were pretty much all number related, and therefore did become a bit samey, it was just far far far too hot in there. To the point that we couldn’t wait to get out. I don’t see that you can have rooms underground like that in the summer and not have some form of air on or at least a few decent fans going. It unfortunately just ruins the experience. Also I would say you could really tell a difference between the quality of the extinct and Alcatraz rooms- it was night and day difference. I would recommend titanic/extinct- in a heartbeat! But personally I wouldn’t do Alcatraz

   I wasn't too sure about this. I read the reviews and yes they are excellent but I was still very weary! This place did not disappoint. Without giving too much away, it really did exceed my expectations and we had a great day. We escaped with 49 seconds to spare. Granted we had 5 hints but it was still an excellent experience. Thank you

   Amazing experience. We managed to escesc from Alcatraz ! The staff was very friendly and made the experience more fun. They offer unlimited clues, this is good if you feel you need a Little nudge in the right direction. Amazing hen do idea. Would 100% recommend and we will be returning for the Titanic experience!

   Everything about the experience was incredible! The staff were very welcoming, friendly, and hospitable, providing complimentary beverages for our briefing, and even popcorn during the instructional video. The ambience of Houdini was fantastic, as soon as you enter the building, you are transported into a 1940s 'noir' setting, with every single room having great attention to detail in setting the scene. For both my partner and I, this was our first escape room experience, and we did it just the two of us. It was incredibly challenging, but the Game Master was always on hand in moments of need, with effective hints, that did not detract and take away from the experience. We would have not made it out alive without them, we managed to escape with just 7 seconds to spare, it was a very intense! I highly recommend this experience, especially as part of a group of 4+ people, it is great for team building. I cannot wait for their upcoming Titanic experience. 5*s.
