In August I bought my teenage grandchildren to do The Magician. It was the first escape room for us all. We loved it so we went back straight in to do The MacGuffin. So today we've been back to do The Fortune Teller. Another fantastic experience. In the intervening time I've done some other escape rooms and this is definitely the best. We're disconsolate there are no more rooms to do. Brilliant.

For my first locked room experience I found that it was amazing. We first visited in August and at we thought we would do one room but later we would go on to do two that day.We decided to do all three and went in January and found all three brilliant.

Great thinking, fun and frantic game that’s great ... with lots to keep you entertained and guessing - Room completes was ‘The Fortune Teller ‘ looking forward to doing more!

This is the second escape room that I've been to at the Macguffin Project and it was just as good as the first. Last time, we did the Fortune Teller room which was a lot of fun and had a really great atmosphere. This time, we did the Magician and it was definitely a bit harder but still very enjoyable. The staff are very friendly. Julie told us the backstory which was really interesting and she helped make sure we were excited and ready before we went in. She made sure we had a great time and then helped us take funny group photos! We had a fantastic time and it made for a great birthday party.

This is one of the best escape rooms we have done, very friendly staff and I like how its interactive. I would definitely recommend it and can't wait to do more!

Wanted to celebrate my birthday and do something different with my family so 7 of us went down to the MacGuffin Project. We were able to compete against each other in 2 teams ( 3 against 4) at the same time in 2 rooms which were the same. Unfortunately the other team managed to get out their room 1 minute quicker than my team. Everyone said what great fun it was and we were made up of ages ranging from 15 to 58. Danial was excellent in instructing us at the outset and Joey was excellent with some guidance and interaction during the game if and when we needed it.Would recommend this to everyone and look forward to returning as there are different games to be played.

Brilliant time- 7 of us (ages 15-58) split between 2 rooms competing against each other. Really well thought out and great fun- our hosts Dan & Joey were great. Definitely recommend and will return!

Went for a family member’s birthday and did the head to head rooms. Great fun, suitable for all our group aged 15-58. Dan and Joey were brilliant and the interactive aspects were really fun - especially when they joked about members of the group! Would recommend highly and would definitely return.

Amazing! Had the best evening, place was easy to find and staff were super friendly welcoming us in and explaining everything thoroughly. First time doing an escape room and can't want to go back and do the other rooms!

Such a good place, highly recommend!Really enjoyed it for my friends birthday, we will be going again!

My first time doing an escape room and I loved it. The guys there were so friendly and helpful, the escape room kept us entertained the whole time and now am planning to do the next room as its so addictive! I would highlighly recommend The MacGuffin Project if you've not done it before, or even if you have!!! You only need to bring you and some friends, nothing else. Thanks to all at MacGuffin, thoroughy enjoyable time :) xx

The game was so fun and interactive. They use lots of lighting and sounds. It was the perfect amount of difficult. The staff were so fun, friendly and helpful. Apparently the whole place is run by 6 people and they’ve done a really amazing job. I would definitely go back again - it’s a great activity for a family / group of friends. Thanks for making our experience so great!

Fab time playing the head to head rooms. Definatley recommend it. Was very exciting, puzzles were fun to solve.

A great alternative to the traditional Christmas work do. Second time I've visited. Staff are really friendly, the sets are amazing and we all had a thrill trying to solve the puzzles and escape before being electrified in the storm!!! 49 mins - get in! Thanks guys!Jo

I wasn’t sure this was for me but I have to admit I had a great time. We played pearents against kids (kids range from 23-27 so no youngsters) in the magician rooms. I’d recommend you give it a go if your looking for someting entertaining to do. Well organised and enthusiastic staff. Oh we all got out but we lost.
0
An amazing day and we did it suprisingly quick - thought we were In there a lot longer (completed it in 36 minutes with one hint)For two of our group this was the last room to complete here, for me it was my second room, and for one it was their first.The setting, theme, puzzles are all fantastic. Just need to get some more rooms so we can keep going back!

me and my family had come here for my girlfriends birthday and what an amazing experience the staff where top notch made to feel very welcome and had a very good laugh with us and the room it self left us all saying this was amazing and we are definitely going again and also will be having a work team building exercise here if you are contemplating going here just book it you will not be disappointed and thank you to the staff amazing job guys :)

We were impressed with this from the moment we arrived. The building looks great. The carnival decor throughout is classy and adds to the overall experience. The staff were friendly, funny and helpful. We did the MacGuffin room and found it pitched at the perfect level : hard enough for 4 people but not so hard we had to ask for help. The attention to detail is amazing. We had a run through of our stats with our host Gina at the end which was great. A quick photo booth session at the end finished the evening off perfectly. We will definitely be going back to do another room!

I went here with 3 friends as part of a birthday celebration. I didn't know what to expect, but had a fab experience. The hosts were very friendly and put us at ease! The tasks were sufficiently challenging to keep us occupied, but we managed to escape with 5 minutes to go. If we got stuck, we were able to ask for help, and our host appeared to give us a clue to point us in the right direction. We were in the Fortune Teller room. Very interesting clues & challenges. I am tempted to go back with the family to try out another room another time. Thanks a lot!

We went to the Macguffin project on Sunday for my cousins birthday. We had an amazing time going head to head with our other team! The staff were great and definitely made the experience. We will definitely be going back again soon!

2nd year in a row visiting here for our works night out, great fun, challenging & a brilliant team building exercise. If you've never been, you really should give it a go, you won't be disappointed.

Did The Magician escape room as part of my birthday celebrations, the staff were so friendly and welcoming and the escape room was great! Loads of exciting puzzles and pretty thrilling too! Would definitely recommend :) #Alexandtheamigos!

We visited the Maguffin project yesterday for my daughters 14th birthday party. She did the Head to Head game with 7 friends, ranging in age from 12-14. They had an absolutely brilliant time and both teams escaped in under the hour limit. They came out buzzing with excitement! From the moment you walk through the doors you are transported into another, very atmospheric world. We booked the gold package so had a separate room for our use whilst the teams were trying to escape and the kids then joined us for refreshments and a debrief after the game. The winning team received a prize and certificate. They then had lots of fun dressing up and posing for pictures. The staff here are exceptional and really brought the experience to life.We very much look forward to returning and trying one of the rooms ourselves.

We have just had a brilliant afternoon in the escape room. It was really good fun and the staff were great too ! We will definitely come back and recommend you !
0
Had so much fun and would recommend the MacGuffin Project to anyone. Although me and my friends enjoyed the experience this place had to offer, what made a huge difference was the staff. Joey and Lord D. deserve a raise. There was another lady there, and for the brief time we interacted with her, I can say she was amazing too.Cannot wait to go there again and try a different room.

We did the Magician room and it was really entertaining with great puzzles. Would definitely recommend it.

Visited the MacGuffin Project yesterday as part of a team building activity for work. Two groups of six were split in to rooms to complete the Magician challenge.Without giving too much away it was really good fun. I wasn't sure what to expect but we managed to escape within the hour. The challenges vary so different skills are needed within the group meaning everyone can contribute and no one is left out. Additional little hints are available should you become really stuck. All the staff were very friendly and kept in character when they realised one of the items in the room was missing and needed replacing quickly. Would definitely recommend it!
0
Came today with work colleagues on team building exercise and had a great time. Really enjoyed the whole experience and would definitely recommend to others.

This was mine and my Wife's first escape room experience, and we were not disappointed! Very friendly staff and all round great fun escaping Macguffin's workshop! Will definitely be back to try out the other rooms

Took my team to The MacGuffin Project for a team building afternoon. The staff and venue were great and the room was great fun. Really impressed and worth every penny. Try the head to head rooms if you have a team of 10 :)

Six teenagers all saying that it was totally amazing. Both of our cars home were full of praise for this experience they did not stop talking about it. Very chuffed to have booked this for our son and five friends to experience and have gained a few parent stars! Only jealous that we haven’t done it yet so must rebook soon for ourselves.
0
Visited a couple of days ago with my family. Excellent experience and so different to everything else. All the staff were very friendly and Dan was our host for the Magician Room. Will definitely be coming again to do the other rooms and will be recommending to everyone!
0
We went as a group of 8, all of us in couples! When we arrived we were given a very warm welcome and the reception area brilliantly reflects the experience that you are about to have! We split into 2 teams- husbands v wives just to increase the competitive nature amongst us all!! The game itself was well orchestrated, organised and really engaging- time seemed to fly when you were in there which itself is a good indication of how fun it was!! I will definitely be recommending it to everyone I meet and more than that I can’t wait to arrange our next trip to play one of the alternative games! Well done to everyone at McGuffin’s you have an excellent business that creates super memories for those who attend!
0
So much fun, really well presented, staff are really nice and helpful can’t wait to go back and try the other rooms.

We went for a friends birthday and had a fab time. It’s nice to do something other than go to a pub! We raced against the clock to solve the puzzles and crack the codes... turns out we had the best time of the week!! Everyone should give it a go!

It was funny having an ‘assistant’ in the room who talked to you. It was challenging with some interesting puzzles.
0
First escape room and it was such a good experience, excellent staff and great puzzles, would thoroughly recommend to anyone!

Excellent staff, friendly and informative. Escape room was well thought out and challenging. Would recommend to those who have never used an escape room before or anyone who is experienced in them.

I've been to the MacGuffin Project twice, first to try out the 'The Magician Room'. Since we were 10, they split us into two teams and we raced against each other. The second time, I had 2 friends visiting and they were really fast and helpful allocating a slot for us in such short term. We tried the 'The Fortune Teller Room', which was IMO even better! The rooms are full of hidden clues and they really follow the overall theme of the MacGuffin Project. The front staff is really friendly and they even explain you the full story behind the project so that you get into the theme. Guess I'll have to visit soon to escape the last room!
0
We attended as a family group of 5 for a Birthday treat. Great fun for all and the staff were extremely helpful from first contact on the phone to the moment we left. We did The Magician and would highly recommend. Dan was our host and was friendly and enthusiastic. We will be back to try the other rooms!
0
We attended yesterday evening for a work event. We competed head to head in the Magician rooms. It was a really good evening and we were very well looked after. I would highly recommend.
0
The MacGuffin Project team are amazing! They are so friendly and helpful - they genuinely want to make your experience enjoyable! This was the first escape room I've ever done and it encouraged us to go back to complete their second escape room. The stories feel realistic and I can't recommend them enough!

I visited bournemouth as a trip to meet up with friends again as I have recently had to move away and one of the first things I has in mind to do was one of these escape rooms. I had wanted to do it before moving away but am I glad I eventually did! What was just a one room trip turned out to be all 3 in the span of a week! I wanted to make the most of my time there and nothing made it more memorable than the time spent in the escape rooms. Lots of atmosphere. Great staff. 10/10 will be the first in line for the next room you guys make no matter where I have to fly from.-Jamie. The small one.

Second visit different room but equally as good frustrating at times but enjoyable at the same time staff very friendly well worth a visit for something different
0
We did the MacGuffin room as a team of 6 and all thoroughly enjoyed the experience, the room was challenging but not frustrating, full of well thought out challenges and all brilliantly themed with friendly staff to enhance the atmosphere. Would like to try the other rooms soon!
1
My first escape room and I hope not the last! Great fun to be had by all and love the atmosphere. The staff were very welcoming and Clara helped us a couple of times and tried not laugh at us staying in the faraday cage for nearly 3 minutes! The guy at the desk let us dress up in the props afterwards and kindly took photos. A very enjoyable experience that had us talking for ages afterwards.Thank you and we will be back

Had a laugh doing the MacGuffin experience with some mates. Was an enjoyable test and I’m glad our team did pretty good on timing too! Thank you :)

Excellent staff, great fun, very well made. Accommodated my university class of 22 students. Definitely recommend

Was a great evening and staff were super helpful as we had absolutely no idea what we were doing lol!!
1
My first escape room and was not disappointed! We took part in the Macguffin Workshop room which was great fun. Will definitely be returning to complete the other two rooms with my team. Will be recommending this to a lot of friends.
1
Visited the macGuffin project and tried the Fortune teller escape room. It was great fun and challenging. Great staff and fun for all the family and your fluffy friends (not suitable for pets)
1
Have been to one other escape room elsewhere previously but this was far superior in comparison. We did the 'Fortune Teller' room which was interesting and challenging. Excellent staff and good value.
0
Me and my best friend had our double date here and it was absolutely amazing. We all had so much fun, the staff are really friendly, the room we did was brilliant. Cheaper than other escape rooms in the area, couldn't recommend it enough.
0
I have now visited this place 3 times and experienced 2 of there escape rooms, both were unique, amazing and challenging they earned 4/5 just for that.But what really set this place apart and earned them a that last point are the people. Charming (in and out of character) willing to tailor an experience to help bring out your full enjoyment and obviously enjoying the experience just as much as you are if not more.I think the best thing i can say to sum this up is that if you're looking for a fun time with friends, family or work colleges i cannot think of a better place to go.
0
First off, this place is amazing and the staff are second to none! I had my first escape room experience here with two of my friends... We came back two days later to take on our second. The atmosphere is spot on, the effects and props only add to the atmosphere and the staff are not only great actors, but great people, a pleasure to visit and talk to. I would recommend The MacGuffin Project to any and all, regardless of skill as just the experience itself is worth it!
0
Absolute awesomeneness!! Make sure you pick a team leader to direct your team, this will help you greatly. The decoration, atmosphere and staff were all great. You can get hints and tips in each room so you're not left clueless. I guarantee you will have an epic time. I highly recommend a visit here. Three different rooms to pick from and you can get a good idea of each room before you pick so you can pick one you will hopefully enjoy.
0
Had a great time, really enjoyed it. Wife didn’t really fancy it, but she really enjoyed herself too. Would thoroughly recommend. Our hosts Dan and Finn Diablo were extra fluffy!

The decoration and time gone into it was amazing but I just couldn’t get my head around it all, it was so vague what we were actually meant to be doing and I just didn’t enjoy it sorry it was frustrating more than fun.

Went to do the ‘MacGuffin Workshop’ as a group of 6 work friends and we had a fantastic time; I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone! As soon as you enter the premises you can tell they’ve put a lot of effort into the steampunk feel and all of us were buzzing to get inside and get started! Two of our party were running late due to traffic but the staff were very accommodating and allowed us to wait for them to join us - they did say that had they been much later we could have started without them but luckily we didn’t have to.After an introduction to the story from a woman in a fantastic costume we were allowed into the room! We were all amazed by the depth of detail that had been put into the room; they’ve obviously spent a lot of time designing and collecting props. You’re given a small hint about where to start and then after that it’s up to you! We didn’t need any hints throughout but you can ask for them using a microphone in the middle of the room if you need to. The puzzles were sufficiently challenging that you felt you had to work as a team and really hunt for clues, but not so hard that we felt completely lost.It’s hard to write a review for something where you can’t really describe what happened without giving it away but I can say that we all massively enjoyed it and left wanting to book a different room next weekend! I hope the team carry on making more rooms for us to explore.
1
My wife and I were stuck in the rain and wanted something indoors. I have done a few of these before, but my wife hadn't. But she loved the experience and you can do the rooms as a couple easily. Nice mix of puzzles and so a good challenge. The dark gothic/steam punk atmosphere makes it unique and not a light and fluffy experience! Plus Gina at reception and our guide Reginald were hugely helpful and accommodating.

I booked the Macguffin workshop as it was the most reasonable priced escape room in Bournemouth for a treat for the family last weekend. We have been to many escape rooms around the country, but loved the atmospheric style of the steampunk carnival of the MacGuffin. We were greeted by a man dressed in Steampunk costume and fluffy beard, who explained the theme and H & S rules. There were 3 of us, myself, hubby and 12 year son, we completed the room in about 50 mins, would have been quicker, but our son keep distracting us, as he was scared (in a good way, you see). I was surprised at the end that the staff didn't take a picture and put it on their FB page as others have done, as I think you are missing a trick, as it is more likely that the photo on your page will get shared and would generate more custom for you via friends and family. But they do offer the opportunity for a dress up and photo on your own phone. We all loved the feeling of the room, although there wasn't as many puzzles as previous rooms we have done, we felt it was a fully immersive room and enjoyed the experience and hope to come back soon to try the other rooms.

Fantastic experience would highly recommend to anybody. Amazing mixture of the macabre, Steam punk, magic and the crystal maze. Couldnt have asked for a better evening. Also the staff were absolutly lovely and very accommodating!

The MacGuffin project escape rooms had everything from Fluffy bunnies to evil machines! Good fun, many comical moments and many challenging puzzles.

I visited the MacGuffin Project as part of a team night out and we hired all three rooms with teams of 4,4. & 5 taking part. The website is really professional and gives some background on each available room as well as useful information such as the fact that they have flashing lights and some indication of physicality required. Because I wanted to book three rooms I didn’t use the online booking option, I called the venue instead. They were really helpful with the booking and I got an immediate email confirmation as well as email reminders the day before. I selected the £20 option (£18 is the normal price with no extras) which gives you some extras such as photos on a usb stick and some fruit juice/squash post the event plus certificates and detailed timesheets .... all important for bragging rights. Upon arrival We were suitable greeted by one of the fair characters and after each completing an iPad registration/waiver/disclaimer and locking our valuables and phones away in a locker...we all dressed up and had our pictures taken in front of the fair. The interior of the venue is also suitably dressed for the experience and also includes most recent fastest completion times for each of the rooms so you have something to aim for! I don’t want to give anything away so won’t describe the rooms other than to say they were suitably dressed in line with the story and fantastic fun. The first team to finish took pride of place in the post event room where we drank our squash and waited for everyone else to finish before we had a full timesheet reveal including breakdowns of how quickly you solved each puzzle. And the winning team received a box of chocolates in addtion to everyone getting the certificates and time sheets. Without exception every person that attended really enjoyed themselves and were really animated about the experience. I have attended other escape rooms and would put this one top in terms of venue dressing, professional look, feel, fun, the certificates and timesheet breakdown and overall experience. We enjoyed it so much that we all agreed we’d visit again and swap rooms around next time!Highly recommended and well worth a visit!FYI - The fortune teller room is more physical than the others so if you’re booking make sure that everyone intended for that room is able bodied enough to get on their hands and knees.
0
Went here for a team building, from great reviews to a great price it seemed too tempting! We had 10 of us and did the 2 rooms race with a mirror in between the 2 rooms. The puzzles are complicated enough to have you thinking but a few helpful hints made it possible! The team are very welcoming and the actors remained in character throughout. Would definitely recommend and can’t wait to go again!
0
My team and I did a head to head experience and we were all full of praise for what a cracking experience it was. I wasn’t expecting to enjoy it or be particularly good at it - but wanted to give it a go for a team night out. Turns out it was such a buzz and great fun.We’re planning to come back for our next team event! And I’m dragging friends and family along in the near future for sure. Highly recommend!
0
We attempted The MacGuffin room - it was well designed, well decorated and the puzzle was well thought out. Finn and Dan were friendly and helpful. We had a great time - would definitely recommend to others!

Went in the other day for my birthday and it was just amazing! We were taken care of by Mr Diablo and he was just fantastic. Couldn’t of asked for a better experience.
0
Visited with work colleagues and had a fantastic time. The room we did was great fun and lots of banter and shouting ensured in order to escape the room. Some very clever touches with the way the puzzles work out and lead you to the next clue. The staff were great and played a really good part. A great way to spend 30 mins to 1 hr depending how good you are to escape. We will definitely be back to try the other rooms.

I visited the MacGuffin Project a couple of weeks ago with my husband and friend as a belated birthday celebration activity. I had always wanted to do an escape room and definitely was not disappointed.All the staff were super friendly and welcoming and those that were in character stayed in character and were very fun and helpful. We did the MacGuffin room/lab, with helpful hints from Luna. There was an excellent story and when you eventually solve a clue it is very rewarding. We JUST managed to escape in 55minutes. I would say that the more minds the better, 3 people is the bare minimum, and communication really is key (and don't be afraid to ask for help)We had a fab time thank you to all that made our experience! :-)
0
Fab activity to do with family or friends. We were all adults but kids over 12 would enjoy this too. One of the best escape rooms I’ve done. Great attention to detail with the actors and props. We did the Magician room (there are two identical ones) so were able to split into two teams and go head to head.
0
Visited today with 13 ladies as part of a Hen-do. This was a great activity for 'the morning after' because it woke everyone up and got them excited and working as a team again. We split up into 3 small groups, so each group did a different themed room. Everyone had a fantastic time, including people that hadn't ever completed a mystery room.The whole experience was slick, with friendly actors/staff and brilliant sets. The quality of the surroundings was perfect.We'd love to come back another time to try the remaining rooms.

We visited The Macguffin Project last night and had a fantastic time. In a team of 4 we attempted the “fortune teller” room. For most of us this was our first escape room and we were really not sure what to expect. We were all pleasantly surprised at how well thought out and detailed the room was. The challenges were great, ensuring you work as a team. We had the privilege of meeting Mr Montop (and his fluffy beard!) He was a great character and really helped to set the scene. Luna was lovely on reception and prepared everybody for the experience. I don’t usually leave trip advisor reviews but I felt this place definitely deserved one! I would thoroughly recommend it and can’t wait to book again . . .maybe we will try the Macguffin room next time!

Out of the four of us, it was the first escape room for three of us. It was really exciting and a lot of fun. We did the Fortune Teller room and it was incredibly well done. The staff were in character and were funny, the atmosphere was appropriately spooky and the props were really cool. It was great feedback when you solve a puzzle and the lights change and you hear that something has unlocked and you have to figure out what is different. When we got stuck, we were given some helpful clues so that we could go back to solving the puzzles without getting frustrated. It was a fantastic experience and we're going to come back monthly until we've tried all the games.

This was our first visit to an escape room, 2 adults and our 15 year old son. We had no idea what to expect, but decided to give it a go as we all like solving puzzles. We all thoroughly enjoyed it, the whole place is very well themed, it feels like a very professional setup. The staff were great, we met Luna and Mr Montop. Luna was lovely, very friendly and a great character. Mr Montop was excellent, very funny and entertaining, he made the experience feel more authentic. The puzzles were challenging, without being too difficult, but we did need a little bit of help. We just about managed to escape. We would definitely recommend The MacGuffin Project to anyone, we had such a good time we went back the next day to do the Magician Room. This room was very different but just as much fun. Next time we are in Bournemouth we will definitely return to do the Fortune Teller room.
0
We took on the head-to-head challenge, five in one room versus four in the other, most of whom were first timers at escape rooms. All of us absolutely loved it from the minute we arrived! We were grateful for the occasional hint when our progress slowed and both teams got out with time to spare. We were talking about our experiences over dinner later and indeed for ages afterwards!

We were a family of four and we all thoroughly enjoyed this experience, The Fortune Teller. The set up at the venue is professional with friendly and helpful staff/characters who work hard to ensure you have a great time.The atmosphere was well set up with brain thinking clues and working as a team we solved it and escaped in a good time !We would highly recommend and will be back to try the other rooms !

What’s a great room. Came along on a stag do and the staff joined in with out antics as well as including theirs. Very enjoyable game with some tricky clues to keep us all motivated. Will be returning to the complete the set.

Had a fantastic time doing ‘The Fortune Teller’ with our hosts Reginald, Luna and Finn. The place was extremely atmospheric and had some really fantastic design. The puzzles were enjoyable and rewarding, and occasionally surprising!Overall, an amazing time!

Had a wonderful time doing the Fortune Teller room. Oodles of atmosphere with fun and impressive puzzles. Our hosts, Luna and Reginald (with guest appearance from Finn) helped maake it run smoothly and provided no small measure of entertaiment. If you're looking for some larger-than-life spooky puzzle solving, this is the place.

Good fun but needs to be a few of you in each team. Thouroghly enjoyed it.was a birthday family get together and was good fun

First time doing an escape room and it was definitely not the last! I had no idea what to expect and it just blew me away. Me and two of my friends did the Fortune Teller and we did impressively well considering it was all our first escape room experience! Highly recommend and definitely coming back to do the other escape rooms here.

If you're looking for something to exercise the old brain cells then head for this attraction in Bournemouth. Three of us, ranging from 21 to 68 and one in the middle did The Fortune Teller. Absolutely great! You'll be scratching your head, hoping for help occasionally but desperately wanting to solve the mysteries. And we had a great score!Will definitely try the other rooms in this Escape Room puzzle. Team there were superb too. Full marks!
1
Came with 11 other people for a birthday event. We booked in advance selecting the head to head 'The Great’ Magician' option (6 people on each team). The staff were fantastic (in character and funny throughout) and the experience was brilliant!. I would recommend this highly to anyone visiting Bournemouth!

Interesting, fun and well thought out. Had a great time with family and enjoyed the evening. Great theatrics.

First time, and we chose MacGuffin, happy we did, an hour of fun that all the family (including 2 teenagers) very much enjoyed. Easy to book, find, and the lady on reception was great. Would return if only Bournemouth was closer to home.

I have done 5-6 escape rooms around the UK but this was one of the better ones. There was 8 of us so we were split into two identical rooms and then tried to escape quicker than the other group. I don’t want to give anything away so I won’t go into detail but listen to what you’re told and ask for clues if you get stuck
0
Amazing friendly staff. We were so impressed with the attention to detail in the room, props and the clues. Such a fun and exciting experience. Can’t recommend enough.
0
We have done a number of Escape Rooms and found this one to be as good as any we have done. If you have done a few different escape rooms and would like something a bit different this is definitely the one to try. The puzzles are quite challenging but it is its general approach that makes his different and quite a unique experience. Slightly cheaper than other rooms we have done as well.

Went here yesterday with friends. Went in to a really nice guy on reception, friendly and chatty, really nice welcome! Got briefed with the story of what had happened and in we went. Met by Luna in the next room, she was brilliant, stayed in character all through and made us all laugh! The room was great, we have done a few before, and this was one of the better one! Finished in just under an hour, will definitely be coming back to do another one! Great night out with friends!

What an amazing place to visit! We did it as a team building exercise and it couldn’t have brought the team together in a better way! Would recommend to anyone!!

Booked the Fortune Teller as a birthday night out with my best friends. The atmosphere is set from the moment you walk in the door with the staff fully in character throughout the experience.We really enjoyed the Fortune Teller room, it really made us think and we were proud of ourselves for completing the room with a respectable time of 43 minutes despite lots of giggling and jumping at the little twists and turns.The staff really make this experience, even though they are in character they are funny, friendly and really engaging. We will definitely come back. Thank you for the experience!

Staff were great - knowledgeable, enthusiastic and encouraging. The Magicians Room was recommended to us as we had 2 teenagers with us. It was the right about of challenge and we had help when asked for. Would recommend and hope to find our way back to you for some more.

Having never done an escape room before and hearing about some I was very nervous. We were welcomed by the staff who were in character and very believable. After our health and safety talk we put our bags and phones into a locker and was lead into the room. When we got in there it was obvious we had to find different things each triggered something to happen in the room. It was a great experience and really gets you working together and communicating. We escaped in just over 40 mins which for first time was good. It left us wanting to do it again so another night there is planned soon.

Me and 3 friends have now completed all 3 of McGuffins rooms and they are all amazing! Such great attention to detail and imagination has gone into these rooms. One of the best ones we've done! Highly, highly recommended

We went here for a team night out and had a really enjoyable time. This was my first experience of an escape room and I was really impressed. The level of detail and the character immersion from the staff was fantastic. Would totally recommend as a team building exercise.(magician head to head) I a man tempted to return with friends to do the other rooms now ......

Family holiday trip to the local escape room. This is very reasonably priced during the day. Thoughtfully themed - hasn't just been thrown together. Bit odd thay their was no clock in the room counting down the hour, but otherwise a great experience

It was our first time doing an escape room. I feel this was a great introduction. All of us had a great time. There are couple of different rooms and we will definitely be back. Good fun acting and friendly staff. 5 stars all round

We went to this as a senior section group of 13 from girl guiding so we had three rooms between us and this kept us very busy trying to Gess our way through the clues and I like how there is some things in there to throw you off also you need to talk to each other to try and solve the puzzles as they aren’t easy.We all came out laughing and we had all had a fantastic time thank you will be talking about our experiences for many years to come.
