- Sherlock: The Game Is Now. Games and hobbies. Shepherd’s Bush. ‘Sherlock’ fans were quivering in their deerstalkers when it was announced that a purpose-built escape game based on the BBC drama was going to open in London.
- AIM – Revolutionary Escape Rooms. Games and hobbies. Aldgate. We’re big fans of what these guys do. Not only do they create brilliantly fiendish noodle-scratchers, they do so in very creative ways.
- AI Escape. Games and hobbies. Bermondsey. Be warned: this ‘fully automated’ escape game is not for novices. It’s also a real gear change compared to most other London venues of its ilk.
- Breakin’ Escape Rooms. Games and hobbies. Holloway Road. Tech wizardry is what the six rooms at this Holloway Road escape game are all about. Scenarios range between trying to pull off a ‘Fast & Furious’-style car heist, fleeing a superhero’s base while it’s attacked by their arch nemesis and escaping a ghost-packed pirate’s ship.

This sci-fi game’s combination of dense narrative and unusual, tricky puzzles is loved by many (including me) and leaves others cold. You only have a few weeks left to try it though – the venue is due to close in February.
Beverley Breakout seems to have broken through (no pun intended) into enthusiasts’ awareness this year and settled in as a popular highlight of the Yorkshire scene. All of their games get good ratings and The Goblins of Toadsmead currently comes top.
This game about an out-of-control AI from Brighton stalwarts Bewilder Box stands out for narrative focus and unusual use of technology, and remains one of my UK favourites.
Set in actual underground caves beneath Nottingham, Cave Escape benefit from their amazing location but have also built a pair of excellent games. Less experienced groups should start with Carfax, while Monuments provides a challenge even for confident escapers.
Clockwork’s games at both their branches tend to get good reviews, and treasure hunt game Foole’s Gold gets particular plaudits – everyone who’s played it seems to enthuse about it.
Clue Cracker is a firm favourite in the cluster of acclaimed companies south of London. Temple Quest is a deliriously entertaining Indiana Jones style temple romp, while Diamond Dogs is a variable score heist game with a particularly brilliant start.
Of the many Clue HQ branches, the Birmingham one is the one enthusiasts talk about. Captain Riddle is a gorgeous and fun pirate game, and Miyalock is a fantasy adventure that narrowly escaped demolition due to redevelopment of the railway arches where it’s located.
It’s not only the Birmingham branch that features in the top 100 though. Previously Interstellar at Trapped In Bury, Clue HQ have taken this unusual spaceship game over and made it their own.
London’s longest running escape company is also one of the most highly rated, and their most recommended rooms are also their hardest and most recent. ORIGENES in particular takes an ambitious concept and executes it brilliantly.
Exquisite construction and imaginative puzzle design made Professor Dunstan a firm favourite of mine, and the more recent Sub Terra gets equal acclaim. Their latest offering CREW is even more highly rated and only doesn’t appear here because I’ve categorised it as being not exactly an escape room.
