    BEST ESCAPE ROOMS IN CARDIFF. An independent business with a lovely atmosphere. Their escape rooms are so well thought out and fun to play. They also have a bar and a adorable dog as a congratulations for escaping.

    Amazing. Fun and entertaining. For all ages. Did the hardest room with three people. We did need a few hints. Had so much fun for our first Escape Room experience. Ceri was so lovely and fun! Will be back very soon!

    We had a group of 8 booked into the Curse of Senutep. My brother's family of 5 were joining us for our 5.30 Sunday session who travelled from Birmingham to meet us but were late trying to find parking and then the Exitus location, not being familiar with Cardiff. Fortunately there wasn't another booking immediately after us and the staff and owner were so amazingly accomodating we couldn't thank them enough! Very friendly, helpful staff and the game was exceptional. Everyone had a fabulous time. We were a group ranging between 51 and 10 including 3 teens whose birthdays we were celebrating. Great fun, teamwork and intellectual stimulation all round, highly recommended. Thank you so much again!

    Fantastic escape room, completed with seconds to spare. Really well done with Lots of surprises. Went for a team building day with work but will be coming back with friends as it was great fun! Best escape room I have completed so far!

    Brilliant experience for my 9yo's escape room party. The kids enjoyed exploring the game and the staff, especially Ceri, were excellent in helping them along. Definitely recommended and we're looking forward to returning to try a different game.

    My son & his friends took on the Curse of Senutep room for his 10th birthday party and had an amazing time! Nathaniel was great at giving them a clue (or two!) when needed and they came out absolutely buzzing with excitement!

  • 5/5 Thomas L. 1 year ago on Google
    Friendly and flexible staff, great value for money. Took a group of 11 year olds for a birthday party and they all really enjoyed. The bar area is a great addition and is well stocked.

  • 5/5 Ajith R. 1 year ago on Google
    Ohhh boy this is one of my fav thing to do in Cardiff. Me and my bestie walked in and went to escape room it was amazing, haven’t excepted anything got surprised

  • 5/5 David C. 2 years ago on Google
    I arrived with a big group, I think 14 of us. Well controlled and organised. A original bar with lots of different choices. Alot of fun, we had a few drinks before we went in, had a few while we inside as well. The ladies there were good hosts and made it alot of fun. 100% recommended. It's genuinely quite a challenge to get out....

  • 5/5 Amelia R. 1 year ago on Google
    Played the room "Coco Loco" and had an absolute blast! Quirky puzzles and a super friendly team and Watson is the best little pup. Will definitely return :)

  • 5/5 Tim S. 11 months ago on Google
    For the first eight minutes of our hour in Virus Tinkerers, I didn't have a clue what to do. Then - alright, after a hint - it clicked, and the next 47 minutes were a gloriously absorbing race against time punctuated by a myriad of ever-changing witty puzzles. Loved it, and just want to do the other two rooms now :-)

  • 5/5 Mitchell h. 1 year ago on Google
    Me and a couple of friends went here as our first escape room experience. We had an absolute blast. Ceri was our game master and she absolutely smashed it, Giving us hints just when we needed them. Will absolutely go again. Would recommend for a day out with family or friends.

  • 5/5 Katie M. 10 months ago on Google
    Really enjoyed doing ‘Virus Tinkerers’ today at Exitus Escape Rooms. Thank you to our Games Master Lara. Family really enjoyed, great puzzles and lovely to meet Watson too

  • 5/5 Nicole S. 11 months ago on Google
    The entire place is great! It is the first escape room provider I ever went to that has a bar at the start, escape room themed cocktails, and allows you to take the drinks into the room as well. The riddles are well made and have a good difficulty. We will be back soon!

  • 5/5 Regino O. 5 months ago on Google
    I had an amazing time at the Halloween Ghost Walking Escape Room with my friend. The experience was truly memorable as we explored the town center, solving puzzles in various intriguing locations like the theater, museum, and Cardiff Castle. The diversity of settings added to the excitement, and the cleverly designed puzzles kept us engaged throughout. What made this experience even more enjoyable was our fantastic host. They were enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and incredibly accommodating, enhancing our adventure with their guidance and enthusiasm. Overall, it was a thrilling and well-organized escape room that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique and entertaining Halloween activity.

    Lovely welcoming room on arrival and enjoyed the free mince pie. Staff busy on arrival so didn't get a drink at the bar. Mandy was our host and she was lovely. Fun escape room. Sound into the room wasn't very clear especially with music playing but overall it was a great experience and we escaped 🙂

  • 5/5 Rhiannon H. 4 months ago on Google
    We've done 2 of these escape rooms and they always look after us really well and are on hand with clues. Rooms are well designed. We loved the chocolate room and had a 12th birthday party here. Nice selection of drinks too. Would definitely recommend for a fun couple of hours!

  • 5/5 Christopher W. 5 months ago on Google
    Amazing, warm and friendly staff, who are really passionate about their rooms. The escape room itself was fun and challenging in equal measures, with a variety of puzzle styles and twists that kept us engaged - so much so we didn’t want to escape and have to leave. Safe to say we really enjoyed ourselves and look forward to visiting again soon. Thank you. Bonus: a really cute resident dog. 🐶

    Great Escape room nestled in the centre of Cardiff City centre with a well stocked bar to help your grey matter loosen up. Nathaniel was superb, a great host for us! Would definitely recommend

  • 5/5 Dwairyfreestylers137 6 months ago on Google
    I went to the cocoa loco room today with my 3 friends because one of them is the birthday girl, honestly I had the best time of my life! It was extremely enjoyable. I won’t leak any spoilers but everything was completely unexpected and we were all so excited! I will definitely be coming again soon. They have excellent service too, Nathaniel helped me and my friends with clues on a walkie talkie. I have never been to an escape room but this is best by far! I really recommend u come to this place it was so much fun, I didn’t wanna leave lol. The drinks there look really nice and the way the clues are set up are really smart and is like you’re in a movie. See you soon exitus escape room!

  • 5/5 Evie B. 4 months ago on Google
    Really enjoyed our time here, we did the Egyptian themed room and escaped in good time. The team were friendly and the venue was nice, it’s not easy to spot amoung the shops but as we like to say the first challenge is getting inside the building

  • 5/5 jason p. 6 months ago on Google
    Absolutely amazing experience, came here for my GFs birthday on the 1st September and we did the curse of senutep, absolute amazing service and guest interaction, Mandy was awesome and so attentive to us in our room and helped us as much as she could, and clearly loved her job with the passion she had about the stories in each room and Ruth was also amazing with serving us at the bar and giving any other information we needed about the venue and games we can buy to take home. Would recommend highly for escape rooms In Cardiff

  • 5/5 Chad C. 2 years ago on Google
    Easily the best escape room I've done. Ellie and the team are fantastic and they have the best atmosphere. I've done 2 other escape rooms in Cardiff and they're not a patch on Exitus. My issues with the other two were that we often just stood around because there was no room and the games felt a bit dated, this could not be further from the truth here. The game was extremely fun and engaging and the back story was brilliant. On top of the room, the waiting area was lovely and the bar was fantastic. I will be going back when Coco Loco is out and I will be playing Virus too. I had 0 complaints and only love for this company.

  • 5/5 Jasper M. 2 years ago on Google
    Just did one of the rooms with some mates. Really good and enjoyable. Would definitely recommend amazing customer service from Ellie n got a free shot

  • 5/5 Neil C. 2 years ago on Google
    We’ve been twice now and it was great to be back again after lockdown! Just like last time, the room felt just the right level of difficulty and Ellie was so friendly and helped us feel at ease. Thank you and we’ll be back soon!

  • 5/5 Kavina N. 2 years ago on Google
    I had the funnest time here! What lovely hosts Elynne, Cerri and the adorable Watson are!! Had an absolutely brilliant experience, the hosts were so nice and accommodating, had the best cocktails and learnt about them and their escape room business, you can really tell they put a lot of work and care into this business, when I come to Cardiff again, I will definitely be coming back here! Hopefully we'll escape the next time 😁

  • 5/5 Zoe K. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely fantastic experience both times we visited. Wonderful hosts and challenging but fun rooms. Would definitely recommend.

    Well worth it. Good fun.

  • 4/5 sean c. 4 years ago on Google
    So this is our third escape room in Cardiff, visited as a team building event, with work. For me, the most important factor of these events is that the puzzles must be logical - The must be some reasonable method for solving them. I don't care if i don't get them. But if, when you're told the answer, you realise there's simply no way you could ever have known, it can be very frustrating. Exitus was the most logical. I also liked that they seem to ensure that all/most teams get out, by pacing the clues they hand you, when it seems you're just not getting it. In this way, you also have the pleasure of having completed it, albeit with a little help. The staff were lovely, and the vouchers for Revolution bar almost covered the cost of the Escape room!!! They also allowed us to bring in some wine to enjoy between rooms. On the downside, and as constructive feedback... Imhotep was waaaaay too hot. Uncomfortably so. That has to be sorted out guys. Also, the laser puzzle was borked and there was no way we'd have solved it. Even the GM couldn't do it. Although you gave us time back, we still wasted 10 mins in a very hot room trying to do it. The puzzles have to be working. The pluses outweigh the minus by a long stretch. Top experience.

    Great fun in the virus tinkers room with 3 lovely hosts (including Watson 🐶) Challenging but playable with a great storyline Debating going back tomorrow for another go!

  • 5/5 Shackimus P. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing Egyptian themed room and the staff were amazing. Super friendly, fun and extremely helpful! Also Watson was very helpful! Thank you so much, the gang and I had am amazing time and look forward to coming back to experience the other rooms :)

  • 5/5 Alex S. 2 years ago on Google
    This is a fun place for a evening out. It's something I would highly recommend. The staff were kind and helpful. 10 out of 10

  • 5/5 Ryan H. 2 years ago on Google
    I've done around 15 escape rooms, mostly in Cardiff, and my experience at Exitus was by far my favourite yet. Exitus is a family run business in the heart of Cardiff centre. We received a warm welcome on entry, and the family were friendly, funny and kindly explained everything we needed to know before being shown to our room. The rooms are well thought out, with clever, varied puzzles and great themes. Technology is well utilised throughout with cameras and an intercom system, and they are there to help when needed. After escaping, we went back to the central lounge area where there is a well stocked bar and had some coctails. They stock a range of Welsh beers, ciders, spirits and even have their own coctails and infuse their own flavoured vodkas. We also purchased some escape-style board and card games before leaving which were all sold at very competitive prices. The experience was full of fantastic moments, suprises (which I won't spoil in this review) and it was an absolute pleasure meeting the family who were so passionate about creating a great experience for guests. I can't wait to visit again soon!

    Only the second escape room I have done, but a great family friendly room to escape from... we completed the Cocoa Loco room. Several of our group had never done an escape room previously and they were entertained from the outset. I obviously won't give away any of the secrets, but the host was wonderful and the bar was also very reasonably priced...

  • 5/5 Bec C. 2 years ago on Google
    Such a fun time here! Well thought out and explained room, great mix of puzzles and locks and the team were so helpful and encouraging! Really relaxed vibes and the bar area is really cool! Can’t wait to come back. Oh and Watson is too adorable!!

  • 5/5 Rhianne M. 2 years ago on Google
    We completed The Curse of Senutep tonight and had an amazing time! The puzzles were very cleverly put together and the room was a great challenge throughout. Ceri, the host, was fab. Really friendly and welcoming. It's dog friendly too so can bring your own furry friend. They've got a well equipped bar and lots of comfortable seating so great for a drink before and after. Highly recommend ! We're already looking forward to our next escape room with them :) (Also can't wait to give their beautiful spaniel more cuddles ! )

  • 5/5 James W. 2 years ago on Google
    This was my first experience of an escape room it was great family fun designed to be a challenge but possible to achieve. It was not Easy great for us and the staff were warm friendly and helpful. Great bar if your interested with high quality welsh spirts and beer.

  • 5/5 Jennie W. 2 years ago on Google
    Christmas escape room was great fun and designed as a family room with different levels of puzzle difficulty. Great props and challenges and friendly host who knew when to intervene. Also a gorgeous little wooden bar with cocktails and a huge range of drinks! And don't forget Watson, the tail that never stops wagging!

  • 5/5 Toby O. 2 years ago on Google
    I recently visited here as part of a Christmas night out. What an amazing experience, I've done a few escape rooms but this definitely was the best so far! Cleverly laid out rooms with lots of puzzles to complete. There's also an amazing bar here with more than reasonable prices. Highly recommend and will be visiting again soon!

  • 1/5 Haydeé M. 2 years ago on Google
    The waiting room is very nice and we even thought about coming back with a bigger group to celebrate a birthday!...we arrived and the staff asked us what room we booked, it took ~20 min to reset it, which was ok because they have a bar and you can have a drink while waiting. However, after starting in the escape room, we were interrupted and taken out in a very rude way accusing us of not paying for the room, the person who booked the room tried to show the confirmation but the member of the staff seemed to be too annoyed to look at it.. eventually they found the booking in their PC. After this incident we went back to the room just to realise there were missing/broken items/clues (as mentioned in other reviews of the Egyptian room), additionally the speakers didn't work well (someone had to come into the room to tell us the missing clue).

  • 5/5 Christian S. 2 years ago on Google
    Great experience, friendly staff and the dog Watson was such an extra treat! The lady who hosted our room, I think her name was Evelyn (nice girl who couldnt spell my surname) was really lovely and super accomodating! Thank you :)

  • 5/5 Sarah H. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best escape rooms I've done! Staff were really friendly, there's a great waiting area and bar and a resident dog which made the experience even better. We did the Egyptian room which was really well put together and engaging. We'll definitely be back to do the other rooms.

  • 5/5 Hannah 1 year ago on Google
    Just completed the CocoLoco escape room and we thoroughly enjoyed. Very clever and well put together. This was our first escape room so didn't know what to expect but will definitely want to do another one. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and I felt the whole experience was well structured with the right clues given at the right time, so you actually feel like you're making progress and have a shot at completing it. Thanks for a great escape!

  • 5/5 Calum M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great escape rooms! Our leader was very nice and made it a great experience! Also good value vs other ones in Cardiff. Our leader also brings her dog to work and we loved stroking the dog as an awesome bonus!

  • 5/5 Ben S. 1 year ago on Google
    We rented the place out for a work event on the evening of the 11th, and were hosted by Nathaniel and Beth. The both of them did an amazing job; the atmosphere was relaxed, the drinks were great, and the puzzles were absolutely inspired! We'll definitely be returning. :)
