Visited yesterday with the family and played the Egyptian Exodus room. Having completed previous escape rooms before we decided to challenge ourselves as the difficulty rating was 5/5 for this room.

Upon arrival, our host, Lewis, made us feel very welcome. He offered us hot drinks before going through a few health and safety details and explaining the details of the experience to us. He then left us and soon enough returned in costume and the experience began.

I can't comment too much in detail about the escape room itself as I'd hate to spoil the experience for anyone looking to visit but it is very well built and extremely immersive. One thing I found particularly noteworthy is that, unlike some escape rooms, The Escapement don't put you under a lot of pressure to escape in a certain amount of time. The allocated time slots are 90 mins, which gives a good amount of time for any group looking to take in the experience and not necessarily escape in the quickest time possible. However, the latter is of course an option if you wish to play it that way.

Lewis was truly exceptional, he really made our time both before, during and after the escape room one to remember. He's clearly very passionate and performs his character very well, and is happy to joke around as well which was great. Even the debrief following our escape was entertaining, something which can't always be said for other escape rooms.

Overall, a superb way to spend an evening and highly recommended. Massive shout-out to Lewis for making our night
