    Intrigued by the door advertisement, I went inside. The owner enthusiastically showed me around. It's a space that you pay into that you can spend time in fir a small fee by the minute or up to a full day for 20 euro. It's got a funky lounge area to relax, watch videos, play games make yourself unlimited tea, coffee, with biscuits, popcorn etc. You will meet all sorts of interesting people there who appreciate individuality and interesting company. Artwork is everywhere that you can buy, even the toilet has great graffiti. Their is a selerate virtual reality section you can play games in. Support creativity ! Down with bland multinational coffee shops ! This place shows that people want creative, relaxing places to be stimulated and entertained. The photos speak for themselves, go discover this gem !

    Came here a few weeks ago to participate in the pottery and coffee activity. While it was a fun Sunday activity, it was not worth the price due to the service and hygiene level of the place. From the start, it was poorly organized with not enough chairs and spots set up at the table. There were not enough cookies for everyone in the kitchen, and there was no milk for the coffee or tea (which is a part of the price that we paid for). While they did bring milk later, most of us were already disappointed. Lastly, the place was not cleaned prior to us getting there as the sink was full of dirty dishes. Don’t even want to know how the bathroom looked like….

    Nice please where play games in various form, drink tea and coffe, meet friends, read a book and meet new friends. Is a free and safe space. You only pay for the time you spend in it. They also do special night events

    Really nice space! I went there for a boardgame event and it was really cozy and fun, the only thing i was missing were a few more recent games or games for more people, and some of the chairs were a bit iffy, but those are all things easily solved definetly! By the end the event was still a lot of fun and i appreciated the space.

    We recently completed The Witch's House escape room. We found it overall to be a really fun experience with a well decorated room, full of different types of clues and not too difficult. Would recommend.

    Awesome Alice and Wonderland themed escape room. Will definitely be back for the other escape room. We were able to chill in the common area with free tea and biscuits and popcorn after and play a game. Perfect Wednesday night to break up the work week. So glad a place like this exists!

    A great spot in the city to just relax in. They hold the occasional event that gathers in a crowd and it makes it very easy to socialise with other adults in a more homely setting, although you can just pop in as you like and maybe make an impromptu friend. Complimentary coffee, popcorn and snacks are often available without charge in their kitchen and they have a large selection of boardgames, books and consoles (and their games) to choose from. Staff are also friendly which is a big plus.

    The most expensive escape room we've been to and the worst. The room was not even set when we arrived. Room was very dark, cramped, and messy. There was no timer and the door was left half open as the lock was broken. Clues were very poor and nothing like we've seen in 4 rooms we have been to in the past. A tiny clue was left on a 12 foot ceiling that none of the team could see as it was so small and dark. The clues had been tampered with by previous teams in the room, things written in a book that our games master told us should not be in the book. A keyhole for a door to be unlocked was in a dark cornered and covered by ripped wallpaper. Part of a clue was rubbed off an item in the room and after putting items in their place, we were told something was supposed to happen to help us solve our next puzzle but it never functioned. Also a sticker was put on a fixture in the room that specifically said is not a part of the game and not to be touched. This turned out to be a part of the game needed to escape. There were 3 puzzles we could not figure out and when asked for secondary clues to the puzzles we were just given the answer to unlock it. After the game was done we asked our master 7/8 questions about the room, puzzles and how things were meant to be solved and he didn't know the answer to any of them. Eventually he just asked us if we had the key to our locker in an attempt to get us to leave and stop asking questions he couldn't answer. While the rest of clockwork door looks fun and interesting the escape room was a terrible experience and we won't come back to try their other room
