Don’t they have one at twin lakes,

It sounds fun.

Unless you're claustrophobic.

In which case it sounds horrific.

Highly recommend Escapologic in Nottingham (recently opened a branch in Leics too but not tried those yet). Crypt-ic in particular was very good - set in an old crypt and all you start with is an old oil burner type lantern and a note book from the adventurer who has gone missing in there previously. Very atmospheric and great for team work as you need to share the only light source. 

I've done the three in Escapologic Leicester now - all very good, ReactorVate was my favourite, really nice concept and atmosphere, zero padlocks and a good jump moment

I'm going on Friday night to the Leicester one, doing the chronos room. 

 

Any advice, like how do I get out

Yeah that was my favourite. My Mrs preferred Operations Magnus though. Neither of us were that keen on Chronos (sorry glenny_fox). Done all three now and chronos and reactorvate took about 40 mins with me and the other half and operation Magnus took 50 Mins with a team of four.

Even if you're really struggling, the clues that you get given sort of spell it out for you. How many of you doing it? On that room, best advice is don't get destracted by what other people are doing as you don't have to do everything in a certain order like in other escape rooms. The bit you are working on might be completely separate to another's persons but all need doing to get you to the end goal.

I came across this blog which reviews escape rooms.  It is mostly London centric but it has reviewed rooms in Loughborough,  Nottingham and Derby so it might come in handy if anyone wants to venture afield.
