- Tara D1 contributionAn experience to rememberWe did the Behind number 7 escape room. We loved the experience and enjoyed the hardship of this particular room. It gave us plenty to solve. You could ask for hints as and when needed. We left feeling like we had fun and enjoyed every moment. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our whole experience. Will be coming back to do more escape rooms in the future.Visited April 2024Travelled with familyWritten 24 April 2024
- kirstyRamsgate, United Kingdom3 contributionsQuick e Mart roomWe had so much fun today in the quick-e-mart room. Myself and 3 10 year old boys spent the time trying to finish the shopping list and somehow made it out with 6 minutes to spare! Thank you so much to the team for their wonderful service!Visited October 2024Travelled with familyWritten 29 October 2024
- Bec and Sam B2 contributionsSO. MUCH. FUN!!!!!Went for my birthday this year and did two escape rooms back to back! We did Quick E Mart and Ye Olde Lock Inn. Both were super fun! Quick E Mart was a lot of search and find, running around and general chaos! The bonus round had us SWEATING. Ye Olde Lock Inn was slower-paced but equally fun - very visually appealing and with multiple spaces to discover. We even got to shoot a crossbow at the end! Shout out to our games masters Amy and Ziggy who were so helpful & friendly and got very into their roles too! Would highly recommend a visit. Also heard they are working on an Xmas room which sounds awesome so we will definitely be back for that! Thanks team! XVisited November 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 11 November 2024

Well worth a vist.Visited December 2024Travelled with familyWritten 23 December 2024
- Megan C2 contributionsGreat family fun!What a great and fun time! We went as a large family, with kids of different ages, to experience the Santa’s Workshop escape room. The puzzles were fun and engaging, and brilliant for keeping us all entertained and the kids thinking! The puzzles were suitable for different ages of kids and even had us adults thinking! Very well done and a fantastic elf to help us along the way! Thank you Toby and Ctrl Alt Esc for a wonderful time!Visited December 2024Travelled with familyWritten 23 December 2024

- Charlie-Anne B1 contributionFun Christmas Escape RoomWe had so much fun doing this escape room! We booked quite last minute however they were so accommodating and booked us in. The games were clever and really fun to figure out, we loved the Christmas theme. Simon, who was our Christmas elf was very welcoming and friendly. He was really helpful and gave us some clues when we were in need and we would highly recommend this escape room to families, couples and friends. It’s really good fun!Visited December 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 29 December 2024

Incredible as always! This was my fourth visit and my partner's first. Today we played Quick-E-Mart and Ye Olde Lock Inn back to back and thoroughly loved them both. The sets were fantastic, the puzzles were clever and intuitive, the staff were absolutely gems and really made the rooms (extra shout out to Max, the best "giant rat" around!). I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to anyone, whether beginner, enthusiast or something in between.

We had never played an escape game before and 4 middle age adults were turned into giggling kids searching for giant banana’s and bits of cheese etc.
Our host Ella was the most fantastic presenter giving us just a little nudge in the right direction when we were stuck on a clue.
We as a group have been hooked and are booking another game here very soon,looks like we are going to be naughty school kids in the “detention” game.
It was a great day out and recommended it to everyone.

Rae, our host was absolutely fantastic and very engaging throughout the experience. She really got into character and made sure we were immersed in the experience. The room itself (behind number 7) was very well thought out and fun to play. The puzzles had lots of small wins so for less experienced players this would be an ideal room. We played as a 4 and I’d suggest that is the optimum amount, any more than that and you may find players standing about. Overall great experience and will come again! Thank you Rae!

Played Detention & Frankenscape. While Frankenscape was very good (and one could indulge in amateur dramatics 'ITS ALIVE! (play the game to find the moment)) we all loved Dentation. A superb classroom themed escape room. Breaking out of School was never so much fun. Excellent puzzles. Special mention to our GMs Mark & Kat for being just great. Throughly recommended.

Thank you for your kind words! We design and build all our own games, so your words really mean a lot to us. Hope we will have you all back again soon for more thrills and giggles (Spacescape and Frankenscape are CLOSING in April, so make sure you book early to avoid disappointment!)

We visited for the first time and really enjoyed the setup and friendly host making us feel welcome. The time in the room was 30mins longer and more involved than most escape rooms and i think this was far better value for money. The lighting and effects inside the room made things more realistic. We managed to escape with only one minute to spare! Would certainly return to do other rooms here.

We were a team of 4 aged from 23 to 55, on a weeks holiday for Broadstairs Folk Week, and we booked this because the forecast was rainy and we are escape room fans.
We were not disappointed - it was great.
We did the Spacescape room, with Cat as our host ( who was just excellent ).
The room itself ( no spoilers) was active the full time we were there, never a dull “head scratching” moment. We’ve done almost a dozen different rooms in different places, this was one of the best,
Great fun, highly recommend.

We just played Ye Olde Locke Inn and oh boy… what a phenomenal game!! It’s a room with a perfect balance of fun, jokes, original puzzle mechanics and physical puzzles. Mark and Sarah are lovely people and excellent game masters. We can’t wait to go back for their other rooms.

Played Spaceescape with a group of friends. Great game. Very atmospheric, engaging and complex just when you needed it to be. Would highly recommend it for sci-fi fans, people new to games and old hands. Genuine fun. Shout out for our host Paul too, knew just how to play with us, pushing when we needed it, letting us stew when we need that too, fabulous!

The whole experience was great, from start to finish. The escape lead, Kat took on the role of the supermarket host and had so much enthusiasm you couldn't help get into the fun. The room was a different escape to usual, but was really enjoyable.
Would definitely recommend going.

Hi. What sort of age do kids need to be to do this? Was thinking of taking my son and friends who are all 11/10. Thanks
Written 10 September 2018
Hi isabelharvey852.
The minimum age we recommend to play our rooms is 10 years old, and we have had plenty of birthday groups around this age-bracket so I am confident that your son and his friends will have a great time!
We also sometimes allow children younger than 10 to play if it is specifically requested, but only if they are accompanying a larger group with at least 1 adult.
Thanks,
CTRL ALT ESCAPE
