Oculus room is tough but fun – We did the Oculus room with the very handsome Huey.
It’s quite a difficult room and I think if you can get through this without any clues at all,… read more that would be very impressive.
The room was very detailed design and felt very immersive. Good mix of mostly mental puzzles.

  Zombies rule – This was booked for a birthday party, so I had the joys of being in charge. Zombie room was the one this time and the attention to detail is incredible.… read more The staff here are energetic and so good at what they do.
Couldn’t imagine them having a better time anywhere else.
All enjoyed the afternoon, including me.

  Great time – The Sherlock room was a great balance between tricky and fun so that nobody’s stressed but it’s not easy either.

Dom ran our escape room and he was… read more fantastic—literally made the experience what it was. His he made sure that we knew there wasn’t a limit to how many hints we could get and that the goal was for us to solve it, which took some extra stress off. Also, just a fun and funny guy to be around.

We went while in Cardiff for a day trip and I wouldn’t change it for a thing!

  Great fun! – Astro Quest is a really great room, design was brilliant and puzzles were engaging and fun. Rauri our host was friendly and helpful. Would recommend !

  A Christmas gift from my family resulted in a most entertaining hour in the Sherlock Room. Solving some of the clues to progress the case gives great satisfaction. Having to… read more accept an outside clue because you have missed something really obvious raises the 'Doh!' factor....More

  best in Cardiff – Best escape room in Cardiff, been multiple times and always great. Each room is unique and cleverly put together. Meg, our host this time was lovely and very helpful, just… read more as ever. Definitely will come back for again.

  I came here October 15th just after I got married! It was the perfect wedding day activity and Chris was so lovely! Always have great games here and always have… read more a great time! Definitely recommend booking 2 games as 1 is never enough!

  me and my bf really enjoyed doing sherlock 2 and we done it in time and toni came in and helped us as we stuck and toni was really helpful… read more and friendly

  We had a brilliant time! Zombie room was creepy, jumpy but exciting and challenging! Kayleigh was very helpful with us today and made it a fun experience:)

Will be… read more coming back!:)

  Fantastic time – The Tomb room was fun and engaging, and our game host Kenz was fantastic! Will definitely be coming again!

  A fun night – what a great, fun, night. We completed the Cardiff Castle room and then the Astro Quest room. Both were very good and we needed the occasional tip! Toni our gamesmaster… read more was great, really enthusiastic and informative about the process of setting up and the work that goes in to make the games so successful. Would thoroughly recommend.

  Awesome escape room! – We’ve done many escape rooms and this is definitely one of the best! Rauri was a great host and we can’t wait to go back for more!

  Great game even though we were dum dums! Kienan was great! Thanks for a fun afternoon we will be back

  Oculus Escape Room – It was brilliant. Quite tough and exciting because we were right up against the clock at the end. Felt authentic, scary room and lots of touches that it… read more made it feel super scary. Our host Huey was a total star.

  Good but too hard. One for the purist. – Great location in the centre of Cardiff and close to all amenities. Good welcome with only a short delay as they reset the room.

But found the room Oculus… read more hard to the point of it being not enjoyable, had to ask for clues too often. Some items didn’t work meaning we had to ask for clues even though we’d solved certain things already but as they didn’t work we had to get that confirmed and then really jiggle them, realign them or force them/push them hard – fingers and thumbs were hurt in the process!
Managed to escape with 3 mins to spare but without clues never in a million years. And we have done rooms all over.
This was too hard.

  I had a really great time! This was my first escape room, so I wasn’t sure what to expect, but our Game master Toni was really personable and friendly. They… read more were excited to let us do our thing, but they were always available when we asked for hints, so we weren’t completely stuck.

Overall, I really enjoyed the experience and I would definitely come back again! Would 100% recommend giving it a go if you have a free hour to kill.

  We played the press start escape room and the atmosphere was superb, really well thought out and clever little puzzles really brought together the experience. Our game master, Ayleena, was… read more very friendly aswell as helpful with the hints and tips. Brilliant experience and look forward to going back.

  This is the sixth Escape Room I’ve done this year and unfortunately the first real disappointment I’ve had (which is a shame because this was my first visit to this… read more particular place). My partner and I did the Sherlock Holmes themed room for my birthday which I was excited about because I’m a fan of the Great Detective. Literally one of the first puzzles to solve malfunctioned, that is, the lock wouldn’t open despite the fact we had the correct solution (and before you ask, yes, we had clicked it twice). I’ve had Escape Rooms malfunction before, I get it, it happens, it’s hard to make it work perfectly every time, but usually the staff have the grace to acknowledge it. Instead we were told there was ‘no issue’ which was weird because, ya know, we had, in fact, just HAD an issue. If we can’t open something despite having the correct solution then there demonstrably IS an issue, made us think that we hadn’t got the correct solution meaning that we wasted a lot of time and rather spoiled the game for us right at the beginning (had another lock malfunction later in the game too but not quite as badly, I don’t know, maybe it was the cold weather). Many of the ‘hints’ came long after we had already solved the puzzles, despite being told that we could be seen and heard at all times (this was a problem on the very first puzzle where we found the solution quickly but couldn’t progress because of the malfunction). A shame really because I liked the room broadly, it had some clever and unexpected puzzles though the anachronisms somewhat spoiled the immersion for me, but I am a stickler for theme so that is just personal taste I guess. Out of the three Escape Rooms I’ve been to in Cardiff it is the only one I’ve had a bad experience at. All in all, I left in a bad mood and it makes me reluctant to go back.

  We did Sherlock 2, it was fun and immersive. Thanks, Emily for your help. The last one was really hard.

  This was a first escape room for my 11yo and her friends. Needless to say they had a blast, I am am quite proud of myself for doing it as… read more a surprise. We did the Tomb and have to say, even I , Iwas thrilled :))) the host, Bebe, she was great and so helpful and approachable, the girls felt like VIP. We will defo do it again,this time, maybe without any extra hints :))

  A fantastic and clever Escape Room.

We did Sherlock 2 and it was just like being transported to Baker Street. Some very clever puzzles that kept us guessing… read more until the end and left us laughing and discussing the room for hours after.

Thanks to Rawri for his hospitality and the design of the room.

Will visit again!

  Fantastic hour spent solving problems within The Tomb looking for Howard Carter.
Well worth a visit.

  My husband and I are huge fans of escape rooms and have done about 8 so far. The 3 best ones have all been at Escape Rooms Cardiff. Not only… read more has it seemed the best actual rooms/escape experiences, but it has also had the best staff (friendly and very helpful, without being intrusive), the best atmosphere and general set up and the best location (in my opinion).

  Best experience ever! Would 100% recommend to everyone

And really want Amelia to win the trip to London cause she was fantastic!

  Loved it, amazing! Perfect clue timing, wasn’t patronising even when we were dumb, definitely coming back – had Arron, lovely bloke, thanks 🙂

  Amelia was wonderful, we booked through a hotel package in December for my partner’s birthday, and she was super informative and even scared us before getting into the room, putting… read more us right on edge before Oculus. The room was the perfect amount of creepy, difficult and clever, and we escaped! Yay! Thanks for everything, we’ll definitely be back!

  Great experience in the Sherlock room. Really loved the feel of the whole setup, and hosting by Bebe was superb. Really friendly, approachable and explained the process nicely. Can’t wait… read more to come back and try some of the other rooms.

  Blast off to top marks! – What a great way to spend a raining, cold, cloudy morning! My friends and I do like an Escape Room and this did not disappoint. Booked easily online a few… read more days before we wanted to go, but it’s worth booking in advance if you want more choice of time slots as all 6 Escape rooms are popular! Sign-in was simple, all participants scan a QR code and we wait for one of the Games-Masters to show us to the room. Big Shout out to Meg here for being a fantastic host and for providing us with the odd clue when we were struggling! We chose Astro Quest and it was amazing! So engaging, and so much fun! Recommend this 100%.
Group photo after completing the room which is emailed to everyone who scanned the QR code at sign-in which is also uploaded to their Facebook page.
Highly recomment this place. Go enjoy yourself and exercise the old grey matter!

  Fab First Escape Room Experience – Went as a family of 4 (2 children aged 13 & 10) which was first time for all of us doing an escape room, didn’t know what to expect, did… read more not disappoint.
We did Astro Quest and Toni was our host. We all enjoyed it and all participated and contributed. The kids were inquisitive when we were in the room and noticed things that once we found a clue they realised what it related to. Toni was enthusiastic and gave us hints when needed when we were close but not too much that it gave it away.
If you haven’t done an escape room before this is a great starter with lovely staff. Break up your shopping day by having some fun here. Looking forward to doing another one.
