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.

Top notch - Booked this for a 10th birthday, 4 children and us two adults Hosts were amazing! Aesthetics fantastic! Game play very clever 10/10. We escaped and the children had a great time. Booked as a party package so used the party room, staff set up the space for us with our table cloths and balloons etc. Quality food. Great drinks selection. I cannot fault this place. Worth every penny and a day to remember 😁

Great Experience. - A really enjoyable experience. Among the best of escape rooms we have visited. Amber our host was great - we needed some help/tips but felt it still challenged us. The room build was good and added to the experience. There is a cafe for refreshments and pockets for belongings to be kept safe. Would definitely recommend and will go back to try other themes.

Great Merlin's Academy party - We booked the Merlin's Academy room for my daughter's 11th birthday party with her friends and were really impressed with the whole experience. They all loved putting on their cloaks and solving the puzzles in the room with a little help from our host. The details in the room were great and it made a perfect party. The food after was really good too. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

Great fun, would recommend - Had an amazing time today doing Merlin's Magic Academy, our first ever escape room. The host and staff were really friendly during our visit. Our escape room was dimly lit which helped create the atmosphere and the gargoyle helper was indeed a great help as we needed a few tips and clues along the way! Would definitely recommend as a family experience, great fun. We will be back!

Merlin's Academy GREAT FOR KIDS - Just did this yesterday with my twins and two of their friends, all 9 years old, for a birthday party. What a great time. This one is not too difficult for children with some adult supervision. The atmosphere is great and there are a lot of challenges to mentally exhaust you. There is help from an ethereal gargoyle which the kids used a lot. The one thing was the lighting is a bit low to read if your eyesight isn't great but after me saying it a few times, and louder, magically Merlin turned up the lighting!!!! I won't spoil what the reveals are but I would recommend this for kids. There were iz of us (2 adults and 4 kids) and it can accommodate 8 in total. It sounds like a lot of money but I think it is about right for what you pay for.
