Horror Escape — Local services in London

This was easily the best escape room that I've ever done, and I think I've done about 10 in Edinburgh, Birmingham, Brighton and London. The room was really well devised and decorated (we did the Cabin Fever one), and you could tell that loads of work and thought had gone into it.

For me though the best part was the way the room was run. Like most escape rooms, someone keeps an eye on you via cameras and can offer help if you get stuck over the speakers. The difference with this one though was that the person helping you played a character that was part of the scenario and stayed in character throughout. They also kept an eye on how you were progressing, and instead of forcing you to say "We're stuck, we need a hint", they would just come on if they thought you needed it and make a comment in character if you were taking too long to guide you in the right direction. I thought it worked really well, as you never really know how far through the room you are or when you're obviously getting something wrong, so you don't otherwise know when you might need help to stop you running out of time.

The other thing I really liked was that we were very nearly finished as we approached 60 minutes, but instead of cutting us off the people running the room gave us an extra minute or two so that we could get to the end and complete the story. I thought that was great - you just want to finish the room, and it's frustrating if you just fail. Because they gave us that extra minute we were really happy at the end instead of feeling disappointed.

I 100% recommend this escape room and would definitely come back to do more of their scenarios...

The location of the Escape Horror was precise, but when you got there, you need to search for a small sign on the wall that indicates the name of the place so you don't miss it driving down the road. Frankie, our host, gave us a warm welcome right away and is a really pleasant guy, he gave us instructions in a clear, concise manner and gave us time to get ready and put our bags and jackets in a locker that was provided in the location. After that, he guided us through our first mission, which involved entering the Horror Escape Murder Mansion, a tale of demonic possession, was the one we reserved online on their website along with the payment which was easy to do. We played as a team of four, and we enjoyed the story very much. From the plot to the mysteries and jump scares to the puzzles, it was very exciting and full of anticipation. We had some trouble with some of the puzzles, but our host was a great game master and gave us hints when we needed them. After the game was over, they offered us the chance to take a photo with some spooky props. They have a variety of escape story alternatives and levels of difficulty, all of which are easily accessible on their website. The setting and its amenities were excellently maintained, well-themed, and kept clean. I would recommend going here because it's a terrific experience, fun ,and appropriate for groups of friends and families. I will most definitely...

I can’t begin to express how amazing this experience was!!! I have been to other escape rooms in the past but they do not compare to this by any means! Me and my boyfriend did the Alice in Wonderland theme and it was honestly sooooo much fun! From the moment you walk in the foyer the decorations are incredible - the rooms themselves are decorated to perfection, it’s incredibly immersive - the attention to detail is 10/10. We had Dan help us out and he was incredible - he’s clearly very experienced! He gave just the right amount of help, in just the right way, just at the right times we needed! He never told us the answers but when we asked for a clue, he knew just the thing to say to help us figure it out alone - he honestly took the whole experience up a notch for us and made it just that bit more enjoyable.

Honestly if you’re considering coming here, DO IT! You will not regret it!! My boyfriend had never gone to an escape room before and in my opinion the Alice and wonderland room we did was the perfect introduction into escape rooms whilst also being perfect for me, someone who has tried escape rooms before. 10/10!!! We’ll be coming back for sure...
