ESCAPE ROOMS CARDIFF

  Well organised, super friendly staff and suitable for all ages. We hired two rooms, the Tomb and Zombie. It was a great event and fabulous value for money. The FREE... read more team photos were a nice additional touch. We there took advantage of the special offer to eat at Zizzi’s Italian Restaurant. The best team building event ever.

  My first escape room experience and I'm glad it was with escape rooms cardiff! It was for my 21st in The Tomb, which I would absolute recommend for its atmosphere... read more - you could really get lost in the scenario, it's very immersive!
Thank you to Bebe who was our host!

  me and my bf did zombies but failed but toni came in the room and helped up and she was really helpful and we were really pleased

  Really had amazing time Saturday for my partners birthday book the tomb which was a fun hands on room. Then we decided to do z after which was a amazing... read more room. Emz was our host and she was amazing help when we really needed it

  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!

  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.

  Went for a birthday treat and it was brilliant. Completed all of the other rooms and told this was the toughest one. Certainly had us scratching our heads at several... read more points, and the setting and mood was brilliant... Very unnerving at times. Grey, who looked after us, was an absolute legend. Excellent service, looking forward to when you have a new room

  Went there today on a double date. Played Oculus it was pretty hard but we managed to escape just in time

  So much fun and a great laugh - Had so much fun doing oculus room. So clever and well put together. Experience made better and more fun with our games master Bebe!! Can’t wait to try another room!... read more

  Made our 5th visit over Christmas to play the leanest game, Oculus, having played and thoroughly enjoyed all the other games. We played as a team of 5, all enthusiasts... read more with a degree of experience. The game didn't disappoint as always it was very well...More

  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 First Time! - It was both of our first time going to an Escape Room ever! And now we're addicted to the experience. We accidentally selected the hardest of their rooms from the... read more get go and the Game Master Toni was an encouraging delight.

She helped us understand the rules, the process, things we would need to know for the game and was energetic, encouraging and amazing from start to finish.

The escape room that we did was a series of rooms with incredibly immersive detail in them, each puzzle to be solved was intuitive and well thought out with a huge amount of variety.

I enjoyed every step of the way and despite our first time we managed to conquer our first room! Toni made sure to give us hints only when it was clear we were struggling which I greatly appreciated. Giving us critical pushes for us to be able to work out the puzzles with the information we already had available.

I would recommend this Escape Room to anyone looking to give themselves a fun challenging experience!

I absolutely will be returning in the future.

  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!

  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).

  We went to the Escape Rooms in Cardiff for my 10 year old son’s birthday but also took my 15 year old son and we all really enjoyed it. It... read more is expensive but the room (Sherlock Holmes) was well laid out and the clues and game itself was excellent. The staff are really friendly and it is in a good location. There isn’t a cafe here but you are not far from one of you have to wait for people to complete the game. Easy to get to from car parks nearby or public transport

  We managed to escape the Sherlock room. Brilliant bit of entertainment, really enjoyed it. Will definitely be back to experience some of the other rooms.

  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.

  Escape Room Cardiff - Brilliant! - We booked for our daughter’s birthday treat, having never experienced an escape room before. We booked The 13th Floor, which was brilliant and really interactive. Our Games Master was Todd,... read more who was excellent and gave us glues when he thought we needed them which allowed us to progress through the game. I would thoroughly recommend Escape Room Cardiff, as the team were really friendly and helpful, especially Todd, thank you a great experience. We would definitely book again. 👏👍

  Enjoyed a good time here. Staff very helpful, efficient and friendly. Room layout was challenging but fun.

  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

  The astro quest escape room was great fun and well introduced by Toni. It was hard for a first timer but luckily some in our group were experienced escapers and... read more knew how to look for clues. The crawl though part was pretty physically tough for some of us and we nearly had to press the button to be let out. I have been left with bruises on my knees from the struggle to get through. We had a few clues but didn't always get them when we asked. Sometimes, we had to ask several times. However, we were successful and got out in plenty of time.

  Egyptian tomb - Good fun , Egyptian tomb room gave crystal maze like experience. Rory was enthusiastic and helpful. Fun times.

  Having been to this place since August 2019 our party of 6 has thought this place comtains game rooms with a range of difficulties. From the simplest of rooms to... read more the most difficult one, we had thoroughly enjoyed our time. Things we liked about each room include:
- Tomb: nice and simple room to get you started
- Sherlock: chess board and bank notes
- Heist: the 2 team split twist
- Z: the logic puzzle with the green and red lights.
- Press start: crawling into the room
- Oculus: finding the codes in the second room

Would love it if this place does a 6 month rotation of game rooms so there'll be more challenges in the future. Clues do genuinely arrive at the right time and whenever we get stuck if you ask them. They'll give you (if it's at the right time of course).

Highly recommend!!

  Astro Quest room is great - Amelia was fantastic! Gave us the perfect balance of hints only when we needed them and really enthusiastic. Astro Quest is a great room, we've done a few escape rooms... read more before but there were lots of new things we hadn't seen before. We escaped with 3.40 to go! Great adrenaline rush!

  We loved this escape room, but I'd suggest that it really needs at least 3 people to make it more enjoyable. (This applies to all escape rooms, not just this... read more one.)More

  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!

  Great time today - really well thought out rooms and Charlie was a welcoming and patient host, especially given that we were a little fragile, and one of our team... read more - Jim - wasn't there, which broke us emotionally and spiritually.

  Great fun! - Went as a family group of 5, did the Sherlock room. Great fun, really well thought out, everything was thoroughly explained bef5we started. Will definitely go again.
