We booked the Magician Head to Head experience for a work team building event. What a great experience!! We split our current work team into 2 treams, then raced each other (being a very competitive team anyway it was perfect). The room was great fun and the staff were lovely :)Definitely recommend!!

My first time. Helpful staff. Interesting puzzles. Humorous help through a ventriloquist dummy. Nothing too physically demanding. We succeeded in just under 40 minutes. Our other team took an hour. Great fun.

We did this for my sisters hen do activity. We did three individual rooms and went against each other in teams. It was great fun. The rooms were so well done. The staff were all so helpful and professional, everyone loved it so much. Would highly recommend! So glad we decided to go there.

We booked for a group of 12 on a stag do so took on the head to head magicians rooms. The staff were all brilliant and very welcoming. Very quick to get us through the H&S and Admin bits and then onto the main event. The whole place is so well thought out that as soon as you enter the door you are part of the story. The rooms themselves were very well done with a good level of challenge to them. Help was always readily at hand along with a good deal of banter which went down very well with our group. Before starting several in the group were very sceptical of what to expect but by the end they were already talking of the next time they do one. Thank you very much guys

Great activity for our hen do this weekend. We did the magicians room. Very professional and loads of fun. Lots of laughing but also tested your brain. Really recommend the experience!Xx

The staff were welcoming and fun- they even put up with our odd humor (team name Paula likes poo- didn't bat an eyelid lol). The actors were really in keeping with the spirit of the theme and the room we completed was great. The puzzles were numerous and as they unfolded the solutions became clear.but provided a good level of challenge that we were all engaged and really wanted to solve the room Unexpected twists in store.

My bridesmaids made this part of my hen-do. We played in 3 teams as there were a number of us and competed to see who could get out first. Everyone got out! Despite having a real mixture of people and ages, everyone had a great time and the staff made sure of this- they were excellent. I have done escape rooms before but others hadn't in my party and I definitely think they have been converted: we'll definitely be back to do the other rooms soon.

We arrived to a warm welcome at The MacGuffin Project having booked our first “escape room experience” as a birthday treat. We had chosen the Magician experience and it was really easy to book online. After a quick form filling exercise to cover any medical needs, we were given the standard health and safety information and the concept was explained clearly without giving details that might spoil the game. Secure lockers were available to stow bags etc as cameras and mobile phones were not permitted during the experience for obvious reasons. With trepidation we entered into a different world and our guide led us to our destination whilst playing their character flawlessly with brilliant improvisation skills. The game was absorbing and fun. Hints were on hand but not easily given and this made for a great, challenging experience! The whole environment (especially the props!) were fantastic, cleverly designed and well thought out. Everyone had a great time and we will definitely be back to tackle the other experiences available at The MacGuffin Project. Ps. The location is excellent with on street paid parking, easy access to local bus routes and plenty of pubs/restaurants nearby to have a post escape discussion!

20 rugby stag lads on a Sunday morning seemed to get the cobwebs swept away by the MacGuffin crew!! Absolutely brilliant from start to finish! If you’re in the area it’s a must do! 19 of us had never done 1 before I think all 20 of us would love to do another! Thanks to you all at MacGuffin! Quality work! Freedas IWRFC lads

The building looks exciting and the guy at reception was really friendly and helped get us ready for the adventure. The setting and props were all really good . Lots of detail and the challenges were hard. There were 6 of us and we just about managed to escape in time. Really well thought out, and we all had a good time. Thank you Mc Guffin.

If you like escape games, you definitely want to try The MacGuffin. Loved the dark, steam punk setting. We (two adults, two teenagers) booked online the night before.

Came for a mate's birthday. Had a great time at the MacGuffin Project, Dom and all the actors put together a great time, hope we'll be back to try out the other rooms soon!

As a friendly bit of competition, we went raced through the carnival escape room to fight for an office chair. Sad to say us nurses lost.This was an amazing night out, it was hilarious but stressful! We found parts difficult but it was a great laugh. The team working that night were very welcoming and provided us with several hints, clues and riddles. Im sure they must have had a laugh just watching us stress out and looking in very ridiculous places, whilst missing the most obvious ones! I will definitely be doing this again, it was AMAZING!

We were a mini-hen group of 3. 1 was new to escape rooms, 1 had experienced one before, and one has done 6 others. We all loved this room!!We did the MacGuffin room. As ever, can’t give anything away but the atmosphere was Electric 😜. Really well thought out room and great for anyone’s first time as it is so beautifully structured. Particularly liked the immersion into the theme with Luna looking after us - she was amazing and subtly helped us when we got stuck!!Thanks for a great time - we will try to make it back to Bournemouth soon to do your other rooms!
1
Came to MacGuffin on a works trip out - was sooooooo much fun!Not going to give anything away but was tough but fun. We had a lot of laughs and would definitely return.One minor thing.... could do with some air-con... was too hot in there especially with 6 people in one room!!
0
Really good evening, good fun & great enthusiastic welcoming staff. We did the magician experience which was fun but quite difficult We needed a lot of hints but still good fun. A good evening out

Hi Tom and MontonThanks for an awesome experience (Saturday Night)! We had head to head in the Magician room and the other team was in the MacGuffin Room! Great team bonding exercise will be returning soon!!Cheers from Howdens Joinery - Dorchester.

Came here a couple of times with my work. We did the fortune teller and the magician room on 2 separate occasions. Really enjoyable and a great team building activity.
0
A 13th birthday trip and a party of 5. Really enjoyable - we did the magician and the girls loved it and completed it! Helpful friendly staff. We will definitely be visiting again to do another room!
0
Friendly staff, great escape room with lots of challenges proven to be really fun! Suitable for all ages! Great authentic atmosphere to set the mood. We did the magician escape and allowed us to book with a group of 10. Would highly recommend and come back to try the other rooms!

Me and my friend josh did the workshop room.I’ve done a few escape rooms before and I would say that The Macguffin Project is the best one that I have done so far. What makes it really great as well is you have actors to introduce the room and give u help if you need it. They bring a lot of entertainment to it.So amazing that we came 3rd on the score board
3
This is the fourth time that my BHVape have visited the MacGuffin project, each time trying a new room. Today there was 9 of us and decided to do girls v boys. It was the best one yet! You get fully immersed in each scenario and it’s fab for team building, problem solving and working under pressure. Not to mention the staff have always been fantastic. Definitely recommend!~ BHV
1
My first visit to an escape room.It was great good fun too, can’t wait to do it again sometime soon
1
Great front of house staff, beautifully themed challenge room and a series of varied puzzles. More back story and plot than other escape rooms I've done before, and the actor to provide guidance, when needed, was great. We were visiting Bournemouth for the day and there were several escape rooms to choose from. We're SO glad we chose the MacGuffin Project, and we'll definitely visit again to try one of their other rooms on our next visit.

We did the MacGuffin room as a team of four and had a great time. Okay, so we didn’t crack it but, with a few useful hints, we were getting close! The time flies, the frustration builds but you get a great sense of satisfaction when you make a big step forward. We would like to do one of the other options at MacGuffin’s and, hopefully now that we’ve had this first experience, we’ll crack the task.The staff were great too ensuring that we had a terrific time. Thanks guys.

Hey guysJust wanted to say what a brilliant night we all had. Was our first time. We were booked into the MacGuffin room . The staff were so friendly and very welcoming. Although they explained everything really well - we were actually quite rubbish at solving the puzzles within the room !! We had a bit of help from the lovely Reginald. Even so we ran out of time I think one of our group are still locked in the room!!! Really good to do something completely different. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Definitely will be back and would recommend this to all. Thank you again x Debbie

I did the MacGuffin room with my mum and gran (I'm 24). I design escape rooms so visited to do some research, but also because it's my birthday tomorrow!The staff were really friendly, informative, helpful and enthusiastic! Our host was especially helpful in assisting us at an appropriate pace throughout the game, pushing us along but not holding our hands. The lady at reception was very welcoming.The theming is clearly carefully thought out and was consistent throughout, tying in well with the story. The puzzles were unique and offer something new for visitors to try. In spite of us failing, the staff and overall quality made it thoroughly worthwhile!Perhaps the puzzles could have fewer/clearer stages, as their complexity may affect the enjoyment of those who aren't well-experienced in escape rooms. It was a bit difficult to take in the story, what we were doing and what we had to do all at once due to this complexity. Another idea might be to make room difficulties clear on the website. Despite this, I still encourage people to visit, as it's very much worth the money whether you find it hard or not!A wonderful opportunity for team work among families, friends and colleagues.

My husband and I went recently as a team of two for my birthday. We had a very fun and positive experience and I’d definitely go back again.
1
10 / 10 escape room!! The staff were so friendly, and the layout of the room was amazing, although the plot seemed odd. The whole point was to go in to the room to use the teleportation to come out, so the plot could use some work, but it was still really good! And at the end we got a 10% of voucher for our next time, which we are definitely going to use, as there are two other rooms to escape from there!! We did the magicians room, and the way they helped us throughout was very good through the magicians puppet, and was able to help whenever we needed It! They checked if there were any disabilities that would affect our experiences, which is good!
0
I had so much fun! The room I played was awesome and the puzzles were very clever and very well thought out. I loved the interaction with the staff and they were all really friendly. I definitely would love to go back and play another room soon! :)

We had a fantastic experience with our team and we battled head to head. The escaperoom was original, exciting and very much fun. It was nice that they kept time scores reaching each level, fun to hear at the end. Worth going again!

4 of us took a friend here as a birthday surprise and she loved every minute of it as did all of us. Fun and giggles, the odd little fright and a very well made escape room. We did The Fortune Teller and I cannot wait to do the others. It was the best escape room I have done yet.
0
Went to the Project as part of a work do. Really good fun, and got the brain working! There are various rooms that you can do, and the good thing was that they obviously have ‘duplicates’, so although we were split into two teams, we did the same room, so were able to effectively ‘compete’ against each other!They don’t leave you struggling for long, dropping in verbal clues which certainly don’t give you the answers, but at least point you in the right direction.Gina and Clara were our hosts, and were great.We’ll worth a visit!
1
What a brilliant place to go , staff were great and The rooms were brilliant, loved every minute of The experience thanks guys and girls
1
I went with a group of 4 and the experience was so amazing and definitely lives up and past expectations! The live characters were very funny and really helped the escape move on as we may have got a bit stuck sometimes. We had Finn and he really set the scene and put up with our slow heads. Can't wait to go again
1
Visited as part of hen do on 5th May around 3pm (group of 8) We were greeted by our host Gina who was v friendly, explained everything and got us ready for our escape room experience. Really immersive, the actors were great and the room and puzzles were brilliant. Definitely makes you think outside of the box!! Would totally visit again and try the other room experiences. 10/10. Thanks!
1
The guys that work there are lovely (Dan, Joey and Clara) are really make the experience come to life. The layout of the escape room is awesome and from start to finish they have thought about everything to the finest detail to give a really absorbing experience. I loved all the effects and would definately come back, Thank you
1
Excellent experience! This was booked for a group of six and everyone came away impressed, happy and keen to go again. The production value was really high and that added to what was a really enjoyable time in the escape room.The staff, Gina and Reginald were excellent in their roles and made us feel very welcome indeed.Highly recommended and will be going again!
1
An ideal way to spend a Hen Party Sunday! The head to head rooms were extremely well designed- all of us agreed that our brains had a proper work out! Dan, Joey and Cara were extremely friendly and very helpful, making us feel very welcome. I'm definitely going to come back to try out the other rooms! Thank you!
1
Had a awesome time the whole experience was awesome and they were so awesome and friendly and helped us to solve the mysteries. We did The magician it was amazing and for a beginner it was awesome. we wanted to do another one at the same time but unfortunately we didn't have time would definitely recommend going here and doing all of them.
0
Amazing experience. Took 2 of us 51 minutes to escape (with a few clues) clear to see great effort went into designing the room and puzzles. Very imaginative with great theatricals from Finn. Would recommend to anyone looking to try something a bit different- definitely worth the money.
0
I had recently visited with friends and completed one of the other rooms and had such a great time that I recommended this to our Director for a corporate event. Great fun and a great team building exercise! We split our department into 2 teams and went head to head in the Magician Room. Loved the little guy who is listening in and giving you hints - he was great fun. As 7 people of very varied age, we all had a great time and really had to think about the clues to actually escape.Really impressed and will definitely come back to do the final room I have left, the Fortune Teller!Would absolutely recommend.
0
Great experience, the entire steam punk theme is well designed even the toilets.We did the Magician room, and with help from our host who was completely in character, we managed to escape. Brilliant will be back to complete the other rooms soon!

Our group have done two escape rooms previously but this was definitely the most immersive. We completed The Magician room successfully. The member of staff on the front desk was very friendly and explained things clearly. Our 'host' was entertaining and again, this really added to the atmosphere. I enjoyed the introduction to the carnival and the scenario of the room - this was different to the other rooms I've been to and was very exciting.Once we entered the room, I was really impressed with how it looked. Unfortunately, our group took a while to get into the problem solving and we needed more clues than I would have liked. The clues were delivered in an effective way which was in keeping with the story and I liked the interaction between us and Gilbert especially when he addressed some of us by name - very funny! I definitely found the red herrings frustrating. However, we did start working together more successfully around halfway through and things seemed to 'click'. Once we got to that point, we sailed through the last few clues and felt a good sense of achievement. One thing I like about the other rooms we've done is the website leaderboard and photos they take when you escape (or don't!) and post on their facebook page. Maybe an idea for the future?Overall, a great experience and we enjoyed our Easter treat - thank you!
1
We had never done an escape room before and wanted to try one. The guy explaining was very helpful and went through everything thoroughly. We went into the room and started, albeit slowly sorting the puzzles out. We did manage to get out, but we only had 1.5 minutes left. There was a lot of shouting(encouragement) at the end. All in all a very good first time experience. Our hosts were, Finn, Aaron and Gilbert (Jay!!). Gilbert was the most helpful!
1
Came here recently with some friends and did 'The Machine'. We've done lots of escape rooms but this was definitely up there as one of the best! Enjoyed it so much we went back again to do the fortune teller! Both rooms I would strongly recommend!!
1
Went with some friends and we have done a few escape experiences locally. We went and did the McGuffin room(s). Nice idea, and the character(s) were engaging and helpful. The room provided some challenges but felt a little under developed.Unfortunately we spent some time waiting around for our game to start, after the time we were told it would start, as staff had not turned up on time and there was no photo or recognition of us completing the room(s).We will be back to try the other rooms, but it's not yet on our favourite Escape Room list.

Mr Thompson and Gina made the experience great. The actual escape room was brilliant, went as a family and all enjoyed it. Hosts made it really personal and funny. Would definitely recommended :)
1
Escaped by the skin of our teeth- 51 minutes. A great way to spend an hour. Intriguing clues, lots of fun and really friendly staff. Well worth a visit.
1
Busted for a friends birthday and want sure what to expect but we all absolutely loved it! Mr Thompson was a brilliant guide and made the room so fun. We can’t wait to come back and try another room!
1
I've never done an escape room before and really didn't know what to expect. We had went with 3 other couples and went boys V girls head to head in identical rooms. We had such a good time. You are in the room just with your team but there is someone watching you who talks to you and gives you clues which just made the whole thing. The guy was absolutely hilarious and made us all laugh so much. We all all planning another visit soon.
1
Good props, puzzles ok but what really made it for me were the character played by actors. Really good fun game but we wasted so much time trying to find stuff. Would recommend for a different night out!
0
Strolled in with 2 mates to just see what it was about. Absolutly amazing. Accommodating to us every step of the way Dan on front desk, Horatio guiding us and Joey running the show were just incredible. Had the time of our love and it's down to the service received
1
Walked in by chance. Best time ever! Shout out to Dan, Horatio and joey made it a proper laugh. Would definitely come again!
1
We went as a team incentive, none of us had done an escape room before. The guys were really helpful in deciding what room to do and we chose this one as it was about finding clues and working as a team. It was great and we had a fabulous time, I would definitely recommend this to anyone. Well done to Lord and Julie who looked after us.
2
I am no expert on escape rooms. As a first timer I felt welcomed and had all my questions answered. From the initial Facebook inquiry to the phone booking (I spoke to a genuinely nice guy called Isaac 100% great customer service).Arriving on the day we were greeted by a friendly chap (Joey) Who ran through the basics in a friendly efficient manner.The fortune teller room was great. It was well thought out atmospheric. The entire backstory of the Macguffin project is brilliant and sets the mood perfectly. The steampunk vibe is awesome as well! I cannot fault the experience.
2
A great night out. If your looking for something different then this is well worth a visit. Aaron was very welcoming and Luna (fortune teller room) was brilliant throughout the night. Great puzzles and clues. I’ve been twice and can’t wait to go again.
1
We have now completed all three rooms and we were not dissapointed for a single second! Amazing team, amazing themes! A challenge you wont forget! Aaron and the team, montop & gilbert from The Magincian were epic and amaxing hoasts! And Mr Thomson on our second adventure with the Fortune Teller was brilliant, witty and such a great character! The whole day was one to remember! Thank you once again, we hope to see a new room in the future!
1
None of us knew what we were getting into which was the beauty of our time spent here and not knowing only heightened our enjoyment of the night. We went as a team of four people and were greeted by a friendly face called Aouron who was welcoming and easy to talk to. Before entering we got to meet Horatio who got us prepared before entering the room. We all enjoyed his character and felt he added something to the overall experience. Without spoilers the room was fun, well thought out and we all came away with a memorable experience which we all agreed would liked to be repeated. Thank You
1
Thank you so much. Was really apprehensive about going. I am so glad I did. It was such fun. We did the head to head and our room won! Whoop whoop. I will be back to tackle another room! X

First of all, this place is nothing like the rest of the escape rooms. It features hosts that are in character and made the experience seem so surreal. My partner and I are escape rooms enthusiasts, and let's just say, this is probably one of the best we've ever done. Initially, we booked for the McGuffin room and the puzzles are so interesting. Nothing in the room looked cheap. After our experience with MacGuffin room, we decided to go for the Fortune teller right after. Immediately we could see a difference in both rooms. One is more logical while the other requires intuition and creativity. The special effects are amazing. Upon finishing the Fortune Teller, we booked for The Magician later in the evening. The Magician is different compared to the rest. It is a room full of riddles. Needless to say, my partner and I had a fantastic time solving 3 rooms in a day. If you're looking for an escape room, I would surely recommend this one. Everything seemed so surreal and exciting! Although if it's your first time doing an escape room, this place will set the bar wayyy up high. The hosts are extremely friendly. During our visit today, we were hosted by Luna (carnival character), Aaron, Julie, Horatio (carnival character) and Gina.
2
We were greeted by Aaron who was friendly , enthusiastic and helpful. Luna was our guide during our time in the room. Luna got right into her character. We loved the challenge and this was our second room attempted. Definitely recommend this to people who want something different to do with an hour and a half. Thanks Aaron and Luna ✋👍
2
The escape rooms were awesome, had so much fun! Was only one second off the best time too! Would definitely recommend and will be back! Big shout out to Aaron, Mr Thompson and Gilbert
2
This was my first visit to an escape room and I hope it won't be the last! The whole experience was great fun. Aaron was very welcoming and friendly and explained everything we needed to know before we were locked in. I say locked in but I've no idea if the door was actually locked or not. It never occurred to us to try it! We were completely engrossed in trying to 'beat the machine' and get out. Horatio, our host on the way to and from the room, was brilliant. Such a theatrical character! We were a team of 6, which helped us get out as different people have different ideas and strengths but if you get stuck you can ask for a little help if you want. No need to spend all your time scratching your head!All in all fun experience that makes you think and work as a team And for anyone who is worried it might be scary, it's not!
1
Me and three friends decided we would love to do an escape room as so many have started to pop up around Bournemouth. I have been to a few others already but nothing compared to this one. The staff were particularly helpful and very into the role. Gina welcomed us into the experience and explained everything thoroughly. It was exciting, fun and reasonably priced for what you get. would definitely recommend.
2
it was my first time ever in a escape room, I have been there for my birthday! The hosts Horatio and Aaron have been very entertaining, the room was amazing! We felt really involved an we had so much fun! Definitely coming back to try an other one!
1
I have now completed all three rooms and can honestly say that they are the best escape rooms around! I’ve completed quite a few in the UK and these are definitely the best. They are put together so well and the staff are incredible. A bit shout out to Gina and Heratio who were fabulous!! A great experience and great value for money!!
3
So we travelled all the way from Southampton to take part in the fortune teller. It was great! The staff was so friendly and so in character which made it even better. The special effects were fab and they were so kind to stay open late for us to do another room filled with lots of different challenges. I defiantly recommend !
1
Visited with a group of friends and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Place is fantastically put together and the puzzles are challenging yet enjoyable
1
I visited as part of a 11 strong hen party with ladies ranging from 15 to 50+. Unfortunately we arrived a bit late due to mix up with taxis but they were very understanding snd accomodating. After a few basic house rules we split up into groups of 3 or 4 and were taken to 3 different rooms to try and complete our challenge within an hour. I won't tell you much about the challenges as obviously that would ruin things but every hen of every age really enjoyed the experience and found it entertaining, suitably challenging and team building with the time passing very quickly! I guess younger children or those with a nervous disposition might be a little spooked by the dark rooms and characters but the emphasis I would say is more on fun and mystery than horror. Overall we all thought it was reasonably priced, very entertaining and would highly recommend especially for groups as can get quite competitive!
1
Went with 6 friends and the guys there were in character which was great we did 2 rooms there and they were both really detailed and challenging 100% worth it.
4
Went here today to do 1 escape room at 8:30 was amazing. As we finished he offered us to do the other room which meant the workers staying on and working later quality experience would highly recommend. X Even got a record time this week!! Up the amber leaf
3
Went here on a Hen Party. I was a bit dubious and didn't know what to expect. Without giving anything away it was a fun experience and got the old grey matter working. Suitable for all ages. (Not sure what children policy is though) Great way to work as a team. Thoroughly enjoyed the visit.
1
We visited as a family of 3. We have done a few escape rooms, this is by far the best one so far. The room was well set up and puzzles good. There was a good theme which was reinforced well by the staff. I would definitely visit again to do another room.
1
We booked in for the Fortune Teller at The MacGuffin Project as a gift for our Dads Birthday! We all loved it! Although it was challenging it was very doable! It was a great opportunity for us to all come together and test our team building skills! Highly recommend this experience! Aaron and Luna(tic) who were our host were very professional and welcoming! Can’t wait to book another experience with them soon!
1
This was our first escape room, and it was such a fun and immersive experience. Having real-life actors made it really entertaining, and the staff (Gina and Harutio) were excellent. We did the Mcguffin Room, which is a mixture of searching for clues and breaking codes. You have to be able to think laterally as well as being good at finding things in the room! Would really reccomend it for anyone who likes solving a mystery.
1
My husband and I first visited the MacGuffin Project in early February, in a team with my sister and her boyfriend. We did The MacGuffin Room where you fight to defeat the machine! We were greeted at the desk by a friendly and efficient Aaron then led to our fate by the mysteriously enchanting Luna, such a great character! I can't say too much about the room without giving things away but be prepared for tension, excitement and teamwork. It is challenging, but the clues are there and help is available, this time in the form of the lovely Clara - you'll never get a direct answer but a helpful reassurance and redirection of our focus was all it took - not knowing the time can create some panic when you feel your progress is stalling. All I'll say is search thoroughly!!! Well, we beat the machine (yes!) and came out on such an adrenaline high that we wished we could go straight back in to do another one - certainly you could see on our progress card for completing the key tasks that we got faster as we got into the swing of it!Anyway, we couldn't resist and were back last night to do The Magician room AND The Fortune Teller, again enjoying a nice chat with Aaron on the front desk but this time guided by the very entertaining Finn Diablo. The Magician Room was fantastic fun, this time you are trying to escape the machine rather than defeat it, aided by a puppet named Dilbert (or Gilbert?!), who despite his sarcasm was very helpful! Quite different from the first room we had done but such good fun - The Magician room actually has a second room set up the same so that you can race another team, I'd totally love to do this over some of the corporate team-building exercises I have endured. Anyway, we escaped in a good time and were soon led to the final room, The Fortune Teller. Quite different again but we were on a bit of a roll by now, in fact Finn informed us that we were very close to breaking their all time record for the room, very frustrated that a couple of simple oversights set us back! I can't recommend it highly enough for an evening out with a difference, amazing fun and feel-good factor. We are just a bit sad now that we have no more rooms to try for a while! Thank you to all at the MacGuffin project for a great time.
2
Second escape room I have done and second I have made it out of!I did the Magician Room (which has a mirror room) with 4 other people and really enjoyed the challenges. Hard to say much without giving anything away but well thought through and small 'hints' are helpful throughout. Only loses a star because it would have been good to have a countdown timer in the room so we knew where we were in the hour - very difficult to keep track of time once you're in!Great staff and a great idea for an event where people who don't know each other will be put together which is what I did - looking forward to returning and taking on another room.
1
We came on a staurday afternoon as a family of 3, we did the MacGuffin experience. Having never done an escape room we did not know exactly what to expect. The guys that looked after us, Horatio and Dan, were very good, professional and friendly. We had a really good time, it is very interesting as it is quiet challenging, yet still achievable (we had to ask for a little bit of help to get started). A very fun thing to do with family or friends.We will be back for more!
1
Really good set of escape rooms, Aron was professional at reception and luna (daisy) was very fun and creepy and made the experience more immersive.
1
Had loads of fun! Bit more tricky than we expected... felt a bit stupid when we had to ask for help!Aaron was extremely accommodating and Mr Thompson was very charismatic! Gilbert was a bit annoying... know it all!
1
We visited before Christmas and had a really good time. The staff are all in character and dressed amazingly! Clara helped us in the macguffin room. She was so funny - we weren’t very good working out the clues and she was very tolerant of our inability!! We very nearly managed to do it in the time - only just missed out. Highly recommended. Good pressie idea too
1
I was bought this experience as a gift for christmas. I would highly recommend, really fun and thrilling! The staff were so friendly and involved. Planning to go back with a larger group of us to try out one of the other rooms where you can race against each other in teams.

We have done the MacGuffin Room and The Fortune Teller room and both were brilliant!Really clever and cryptic puzzles and clues. The themes are excellent, really intense sound effects and story. We had Horatio for the MacGuffin room and Luna for The Fortune Teller. Both were fun characters who were helpful and funny. Definitely recommend these escape rooms to anyone who wants a thrilling and exciting experience.

Went today with a bunch of people from my uni accommodation and it was really fun. The staff (Dom, Horatio and the lady- don't know her name) were really accomodating to such a big group of us and it all ran smoothly. It's a really fun escape room 😁

We booked the escape room online as a party of 6. Some of us had done escape rooms before and others were new to the experience. We completed the original MacGuffin room and enjoyed it so much that we did the Fortune teller room straight after! It was such a great experience from start to finish and the staff we all friendly and helpful. Would recommend to anyone and can't wait to have a go at the magician room!

We booked a visit here for a group of 4 of us while we were in the area... Some of us had been to (different) escape rooms before, I hadn't, but we all loved it. 'Finn Diablo' was great, and we would definitely want to come back for another visit.We did 'The Macguffin' room as from the website this suggested a good starting point as the 'original' escape room, but after speaking to Aaron on the desk after finishing the room and asking for recommendations, he suggested that from a story perspective it may've been better to have done one of the other rooms first....

We visited the Macguffin project for my daughters 15th. We did the macguffin room and managed to get out with on 58 seconds to spare!! We were well looked after by Aaron on the desk and Clara who introduced us to the room. You really do need to work as a team, and we found everyone had something to contribute. Really good fun and we will definitely be back!

Absolutely love the MacGuffin Project, I took my Mum, her partner and my boyfriend and we did the MacGuffin Project. Felt welcomed from the moment we walked in and the atmosphere was great! The escape room was so clever and well thought out. The staff made it complete! We managed to complete with 3 minutes to spare! Recommend to everyone and will definitely be going back!

Went there for the second time over the weekend. We did the Fortune Teller with Luna and it was even better than the Magician which we'd done before. Aaron on the front desk was very friendly - a couple of our party were late but he was very nice and polite about it! Think he also enjoyed our team name ('We gotta get Theroux this').Without giving anything anyway, the Fortune Teller was fantastic and Luna was very entertaining. We will have to return to do the MacGuffin, and hopefully beat the fastest time.

We went for my best friends birthday today and it was amazing! We love to doing activities such as paintball and lazerquest but this was such a nice change, doing something that required brain power rather than physical. We were welcomed by Gina upon entry who was very friendly and helpful. The decor in the entrance is absolutely gorgeous and I was just fascinated by everything. Free lockers are provided, filling out paperwork was quick and easy and Gina offered to take a group photo of us with costumes provided.We were then taken into The Macguffin room by Reginald who was a very entertaining host. He came into check on us half way through the challenge and gave us some slight hints (as they have cameras to see if you're struggling!) There was 6 of us in the group and there was enough for everyone to play a part in the puzzle solving.We managed to do this room in 33 minutes which was the best time of the day! It was such fun and we are definitely coming back to do another room. We even said we would be happy to do the same room again and try and beat our time! It wouldn't be boring to do again. A massive thank you and well done to all the staff for creating an amazing experience!

I participated as part of a group for birthday celebrations. The detail in the rooms is phenomenal, a lot of care has clearly been taken to make an immersive experience!The staff on hand during our visit, Gina and Reginald, were both welcoming and friendly, making jokes and inviting us to wear costumes for a group photo. The puzzles were both challenging and fun, but by no means impossible, and after an enjoyable experience I will absolutely rebook and try one of the other rooms the place offers. Great place, many thanks!!!

We arrived as a group of 8, having booked 2 of the rooms (MacGuffin and Fortune Teller). We were warmly welcomed by Aaron, who set the scene and created an atmosphere before we went in. The theme was a little creepy, but not scary, and was really entertaining. We were then greeted by one of the actresses, Luna, who did a great job of staying in character despite us being a bit rowdy. I personally was in the team that did the MacGuffin room, and we loved it. The puzzles were fun, challenging and made us work as a team. The guys who came out of the Fortune Teller room said the same, and that they also really enjoyed it.All round, a great first time escape room experience for me :) We are definitely planning to go back in our teams and swap rooms so we can all discuss each of them!Thanks to the staff for showing us a good time. Go Team And The Winners Are...!! :D

Unfortunately due to a technical problem, our booking was moved at the last minute to a less convenient time. The staff were apologetic and also offered a full refund if we were unable to make the new time. Annoying as it was we were able to shift our plans around and accepted the new time. So I when I arrived I was already feeling negative.This soon changed with the welcoming attitude of the 2 members of staff at reception. They were very polite and couldn't do enough help.I did not take part in the event but the feedback when the boys came out was very positive.They had a great time and were chatting animatedly about the experience. The boys are all 12 which is the minimum age and it was fine for them. Not scary but just a bit jumpy at times. The boys were top of the leader board for being the fastest ones that day so far to 'escape' and the staff made a big thing of this which added to their excitement. I would recommend this event.
