Escape Rooms Cornwall - Penzance — Attraction in Great Britain

Did “the Lemorna Brown Affair” with a friend, and I’m happy to say it’s one of the most unique escape room experiences I’ve done and possibly my favourite. Without spoiling any of the puzzles, you actually have to “break in” before you can start the room proper, and the result is a very different beginning to other escape rooms I’ve done - one that’s very atmospheric and really set the tone for our experience in a good way :)). Our game master, Paxie (I think? I may be misspelling that and if so I’m really sorry) was phenomenal - we ultimately needed a lot of hints but they were really good at giving us just enough to figure it out ourselves without solving things for us - and in another fun gimmick, instead of communicating by just showing us stuff on the screen like in most rooms, our communication with them was via walkie-talkie (they were playing the role of the hacker/support person in our “heist”, so it felt really immersive) :))

The puzzles themselves were really good and broadly thematic, with some very clever moments - there’s a couple where a bunch of previous stuff you’ve done comes together, which is always fun. Like I said, we did end up needing hints, but I think that’s more because we were bad rather than the puzzles being overly hard; everything made sense and I didn’t feel like there were any weird leaps in logic or moments where the solution wasn’t sufficiently obvious in hindsight.

The only things I’d note are that the beginning is very dark and cramped (even by escape room standards) and there were a couple of moments that required us to crawl - these aren’t negatives (and I’m sure the website warns about them) - I thought both moments were really good - it’s just something to be aware of if that kinda stuff is an issue for you personally.

All-in-all, I thorougly recommend to anyone who enjoys these kinds of experiences, and will be definitely coming back to do one of the other rooms here...

I recently visited Escape Rooms Cornwall in Penzance with my 12-year-old son, and we had an absolutely fantastic time! We tackled the Cold War-themed "Cabin Fever" escape room, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The attention to detail in the room was remarkable. The puzzles were challenging yet achievable, providing the perfect balance to keep both of us engaged and entertained. The immersive atmosphere and storyline really drew us in, making us feel like we were on a real spy mission.

JOE who ran our session was friendly, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what he does. He provided just the right amount of guidance when needed, without giving anything away, ensuring we had a genuinely rewarding experience.

My son and I left feeling exhilarated and accomplished. It was a fantastic bonding activity and a great way to spend a day together.

I highly recommend Escape Rooms Cornwall to anyone looking for a fun, challenging, and immersive escape room experience. We'll definitely be back to try their...

We were in Penzance and found ourselves with a few hours to spare, and decided to try an escape room. This was our first time. We hadn't booked but luckily they were able to squeeze us in, I would definitely recommend booking though as I don't think this is usual. We loved it so much, we have now done several other escape room and feel able to review Eureka better now we have more experience!! The location in the basement is perfect for an escape room company, and the host working they day we visited was lovely. Very friendly, explained everything we needed to know. We did The Nocturnal Alchemist. The room was in good shape and there was a wide range of puzzles. Clues are only given when you asked for them (we needed a few!). After doing several others, this is still definitely one of our favourites, and we'll definitely be back to try the other rooms next time we visit Penzance. We are also hoping to try the new rooms in Truro. Highly recommend, and thank you for sparking our love of...
