Cluedini Live Escape Rooms — Local services in England

This was great fun. It was our first time in an escape room (the Blitz room). Our team comprised my girlfriend, son of 17 and daughter of 14.

After staring blankly at the various objects and clies for about five to ten minutes, my son started to make progress. We were given some guidance thoughout the experience by the organisers over a tannoy. Just gentle clues to keep us moving. We all became incredibly engrossed, and before long our hour was up. If we had another ten minutes, we'd have cracked it.

We all had a great time. My kids solved most of the clues. There is certainly something for teenagers and adults alike. Now that we have got our first escape room under our belts, we'll know what to do to get up and running when we try another room in the future.

We were advised that you can solve multiple clues at once and to work independently - this certainly worked well to get us out of the room in time, but it meant that we did not both enjoy the thrill of solving all the clues. Well-executed and fun, this is an excellent way to spend a rainy hour or so...

What a great time six of us had at Cludini Darlington. A good mix of fun and panic... The clues were challenging but with thought not overly difficult, they were pitched just right for our group who were aged late 30’s early 40s. We were all buzzing like children when we came out and discussed it. Pleased with our individual efforts and that as a team we did it with just over 3 minutes to spare. Looking forward to playing a second room sometime soon. Well done guys, it’s great that you are bringing something new and different to...
