    It's hands down one of the best escape room I've ever been to! Even though the room that we chose was the easiest out of all (3/5 stars), the puzzles were still quite challenging and innovative. The rooms themselves aren't crowded with unnecessary items but rather everything serves a purpose. The staff members were absolutely amazing and helpful throughout the game. This is a semi-role playing type of escape room so I highly recommend you get into the spirit and play along. I don't make the rule it just IS fun!!

    This was one of the best escape rooms I've played so far! The rooms were very atmospheric and had a lot of objects. The puzzles were challenging but made sense and had great aha effects. I enjoyed the diversity of the riddles. You had to combine a lot of skills (observation, logic, team effort) in order to solve the riddles. That was great, because every team member had their moment to shine :)

    Fantastic! Super fun. We did the hardest room and with 4 of us we finished with 7 minutes to spare! Very hands on and felt like a kid again. Super nice staff.

    From the moment you arrive outside, you already feel like you're on a mission. 10/10 for atmosphere and all the tech they use. Various difficulty levels available, easy to get to from the station, and super friendly staff who make you feel welcome and looked after.

    We played plan 52 today. It was fantastic fun. The props all seemed bespoke and made the game really enjoyable. Overall a very enjoyable game and very cleverly laid out. Our game master Rowen was gave us a great intro and was very personable and definitely made the experience even more enjoyable. Would highly recommend the game and we look forward to returning to plan another one of their games. Highly recommended.

    An amazing place! Even at the front door you know you're in for something special! The staff are friendly, welcoming, and obviously enjoy their work. The games are amazing!! My partner and I have played 3 of the games as just 2 of us. Recently we played a harder game with 6 of us. The quality is outstanding, the games fun and interesting, and the pace exciting. Perhaps the best room I've ever done. Count yourselves very lucky if Rowan is your host - she's awesome!

    The ClueQuest looked esthetically good, I saw it online while I was around the area, thought to check it out as well engage myself with some games, unfortunately I couldn’t play any game as the price was slightly on the high side for me,£30 per person and it has to be a group. The staff was polite, I would love to come back when I can afford it and with friends willing to spend such amount on games. Hope to get a worthwhile memory when I am back.

    Very impressed, I read the reviews and thought to try it out. We have been to a number of escape rooms and this is up there with being the most immersive, interactive answer fun. There was only 2 of us and we went for the hardest room (only room left for the time we needed -so we booked it) we just escaped with 2 minutes to spare. It was well paced a good amount of different puzzles. Overall it was a very well done room, the games operator was lovely (all staff that spoke to us were). I would go again when in London.

    Plan 52 is THE BEST escape room we’ve done. And we’ve done a lot all over the world. It’s tight for 2 people to finish in one hour with the bare minimum of clues. Well crafted, ClueQuest.

    Went to this escape room with my friends on the weekend and it was so much fun. The staff were very lovely and helpful (we definitely needed it as we completed it with two minutes to spare). It was such a fun activity and though it was my first ever escape room, the experience was better than I imagined it to be. Would definitely recommend regardless of if you’re new to escape rooms or not. You’ll enjoy it regardless! Very clever and super cool.

    I organised a visit for our team and it was great fun. We had 6 people but split in to 2 rooms of 3 which was great as we could compete with each other and it meant there was more for each person to do. I would not recommend 6 adults in a single room, I think you would be tripping over each other each person will not be able to get as involved. I have done a few online / at home escape rooms but I really enjoyed the tactility of being able to search around the room and unlock physical locks and switches.

    My friend and I did plan52, this was our first ever escape room experience and it was the highlight of our day! Super fun, gets your mind working and team work going. The escape room itself is extremely well set up. Will definitely go again and try the other escape rooms! Also Mel was very kind and helpful with her instructions - loved how she retained her professional “agent” role throughout!

    I have chosen clueQuest to make my proposal and couldn't have done better. Thanks to Jonnie, we quickly arranged the first meeting and went through everything in detail. He offered multiple ideas and was flexible with my requests, including taking pictures within the room (well lit) and firing confetti canons. Zeynep assisted us on the day and played along perfectly. ClueQuest has a secluded room with a separate entrance and a TV; so our friends arrived while we were halfway through the quest and had a perfect view of the big question, without intimidating my fiance during her decision. We got a footage of the moment from the venue as well - even the method of its delivery was in style, so worth the wait (took a week to reach us). Both my friends and Zeynep took photos on the day. Here comes the only downside of the day - we were almost forced to pose for the photos with clueQuest logos and art. While some of the photos were nice, most were clearly intended to be promotional (such as the one attached). Not very nice to be requested to leave our friends for your advertising, albeit for just a few minutes. Nonetheless, the day was perfect, and most importantly - she said YES!

    Well we had a great time. Loads of puzzles to solve. When we got stuck our handler Farzana guided us through with some prompts. I would highly recommend the event. The more of you in a group the better it helps with the clues.

    Finished with 56 seconds to spare. It was a great team work exercise. Team are friendly and interactive.

    My best mate and I booked Operation Blacksheep for my birthday and we enjoyed it a lot. My friend's done several escape rooms by other providers and he said this is the best one he's tried. This was my first time in an escape room and I'm certainly happy to recommend it. It was a good balance of fun and challenging, but we also received helpful hints if we got stuck, which was needed a few times with just two of us and me being a newbie. Our "handler" was Kirstyn and she did a brilliant job of setting the scene, creating a fun atmosphere and helping us along. She even gave me a souvenir photo fridge magnet for my birthday which was a really nice touch. Thanks for being a great host, Kirstyn.

  • 5/5 Des P. 2 months ago on Google • 29 reviews New
    This was an absolutely brilliant experience! Our staff member (Senna) was hilarious, set the scene and was very enthusiastic. It was a great family day out and I would recommend starting off with the room 'Plan 52' for your first escape room here. Without giving too much away the clues in the escape room were very clever and well thought out. I will definitely be returning for another experience!

  • 5/5 zara N. 1 month ago on Google • 11 reviews New
    Absolutely brilliant. I completed Plan 52 today with my son and daughter and really enjoyed it. Kirstyn did a great job being our host and gave us a couple of hints, but otherwise, we managed to get out on time. I'll definitely come back and do the others.

  • 5/5 Dori W. 2 months ago on Google • 9 reviews New
    This place is truly an amazing an unique experience in London, I really recommend to try it once you are in the city! First, the location is very easy to access, close to King’s Cross and nice bars and restaurants. Second, the hosts are very welcoming, our host, Greta made sure we have the best time escaping room “Plan52”, she made the experience really special for us! If u like riddles, breaking codes and creative ideas and gadgets, this is definitely something for u to try!

  • 5/5 Ruby W. 2 months ago on Google • 3 reviews New
    Went with my two kids age 10 and 12. This was our first escape room and it was really fun and challenging. Our agent Rowen gave us just the right amount of help and we only just managed to escape in time. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Harry M. 1 month ago on Google • 3 reviews New
    Had an amazing time at Cluequest. The service and communication was great. Thank you to Benji for being our guide, who was extremely helpful and gave us support precisely when needed. The game was designed perfectly. We went in as a two and did not feel one bit overwhelmed. Would highly recommend this escape room to anyone interested.

  • 5/5 Tatiana T. 4 months ago on Google
    I've been to three different escape room venues so far, and this one is the most interesting. All the puzzles are honest, no unlocking remotely by the operator. The space is stylish and entertaining, and the staff were super nice.

  • 5/5 Malachi S. 2 years ago on Google
    Good thing this was left as a surprise for me because I thought I would detest an activity like this, however, I was pleasantly surprised at how fun it was. We did operation blacksheep and failed to escape within the allotted time, but all along it was a fun, challenging experience. Our handler Eden was amazing also. Energetic, enthusiastic and very helpful, she made our experience all the more enjoyable.

  • 5/5 Ellie N. 2 years ago on Google
    Easily the best escape room I have ever done. We went with my family and it was the perfect birthday present for my dad. Not only are the puzzles so unique and fun, the staff there are absolutely fantastic. I cannot wait to go back and complete all the other rooms!

  • 5/5 Nicky C. 2 years ago on Google
    Daughter’s 12th birthday. Excellent escape room venue - lovely staff. Definitely recommend.

  • 5/5 Julia S. 2 years ago on Google
    Farzana was welcoming, friendly and put us at ease for those of us undertaking an escape rooM experience for the first time. The experience itself was fun, frustrating and exciting. I won’t say too much to spoil it but it was well worth the money. The mission to avert a villain destroying the world storyline and level of difficulty was such that we a family of 5, needed a fair few clues and were allowed a couple extra minutes to solve it in just over the 60 mins allowed !! Thank you ! 😊 Look forward to trying another room soon

  • 5/5 Hani F. 2 years ago on Google
    Brilliant place with several different escape rooms. Staff were friendly and our group with 5 young boys aged 10/11 had a brilliant time. Room was challenging for them but with some help they managed to complete it and felt very excited and proud of themselves. Recommended

  • 5/5 David C. 2 years ago on Google
    Went with my 2 kids (age 7 and 10) and had a fantastic time. Originally worried it would be complicated for them, given their age. But they could not stop saying how "this is the coolest thing" for entire session! Our game master Miguel was especially terrific - was super friendly, engaging and great with the kids. Would 100% recommend and we will definitely go back to try the other rooms!

  • 5/5 Carly N. 1 year ago on Google
    Plan52 is a fantastic escape room! The perfect first experience for two children and us adults had a great time too! Really great mix of puzzles that everyone could get involved in. Our agent handler, Mel, was especially brilliant! So friendly and helpful, and really helped the children to feel relaxed and excited - thank you! Highly recommended - can't wait to go back and try out another one!

  • 4/5 charlotte b. 1 year ago on Google
    A really good escape room! I’ve done many yet I still fail to get out - although should probably keep that to myself lol. It’s very well thought out with lots of puzzles and riddles throughout. Personally, it’s not been 5 stars or amongst my favourite escape rooms because I feel like it could’ve been themed more with the room and the props in comparison to some I’ve experienced.

  • 5/5 Ella R. 3 months ago on Google New
    We did the new Ori-genes room and it was incredible, clueQuest have really out done themselves. What really made the evening though was the boundless enthusiasm and warmth of the two team members Ez and Rio who welcomed and briefed us. We had two younger ones with us and it really made it that much more special for them :))

  • 5/5 O �. 3 months ago on Google New
    It was amazing! Even though I am a big horror fan, I really enjoyed Christmas room. A big thanks to Javier who helped our party to escape the room. If you are looking for a cool spot to spend time with your team, colleagues or family - this is the right place. P.S. looking forward to experiencing a horror room once it is available 👻

  • 5/5 Oliver L. 3 months ago on Google New
    One of the best escape rooms I’ve done. Lots of challenging clues and Kirstyn was super friendly and chimed in with support at the perfect moments (only when we were really struggling!), and with not too much information so that we felt we didn’t earn the escape ourselves! I’ve been to other places where they just let us suffer or maybe spoonfed us so this is a super important part of the experience. Loved the Xmas theme too! Very clever ideas as well. Will definitely come back to try another room!

  • 5/5 Bella S. 4 months ago on Google
    Connor hosted our game for our work-do and he was the best!!! Dealt with all of our stress-induced sassiness! Also a huge shout out to Seamus and Eden for dealing with the rest of our team! Such a fun time and a great vibe all around :) Thank y’all!

  • 5/5 Arron k. 1 year ago on Google
    A brilliant escape room experience! I went a few years ago as part of a work trip. We did the Black sheep room with two groups of people doing the room simultaneously which allowed us to add a side of competitiveness. The room itself was brilliant, well laid out with a great flow to it. The challenges and puzzles were really unique, which made this room stand out from ones I have done previously. Overall I definitely recommend this escape room!

  • 5/5 Suresh S. 4 months ago on Google
    We organised the escape room experience for a group of friends for celebrating a birthday. clueQuest accommodated last minute plans to make arrangements for a small celebration in the function room, which was great! Seamus was an excellent host who made the escape room experience engaging and exciting. Highly recommend this place! We can't wait to be back :)

  • 5/5 Jo D. 4 months ago on Google
    We went on my son’s birthday and everyone loved it. I think 4/5 people are enough as the rooms aren’t that big and there’d be too many cooks. The staff are all lovely and our helper gave just the right amount of help when we needed it. Great fun and would go again!

  • 5/5 LM A. 5 months ago on Google
    We came as a group of 4, we were looked after well before and during the escape room. We chose plan52, which was quite hard for us, who haven't done escape rooms before but managed to do it in time! It was great to do something different and would definitely recommend visiting.

  • 4/5 Tom C. 6 months ago on Google
    It was good fun, but I think, whilst I'm not an expert on escape rooms, it is a bit expensive considering how small the rooms are, at £35 per person for an hour it feels quite steep. I think for this price I would expect a bit more. Loved the back story and the staff did a great job...

  • 5/5 Eledad K. 5 months ago on Google
    Let me tell you why clueQuest - The Live Escape Game is a must-visit. 🌟 First of all, the puzzles are incredibly clever and will keep you on the edge of your seat. 🧩🔐 The immersive atmosphere makes you feel like you're part of a real-life adventure, and the friendly staff adds an extra touch of excitement. 🎉 Plus, it's a fantastic way to challenge your problem-solving skills and have a blast with friends or family. Trust me, once you try it, you'll be hooked! 😄🔍

  • 5/5 Stu 5 months ago on Google
    I was SO excited to do this escape room, and I was not disappointed. Ez was the staff member who looked after us, and they were really enthusiastic and helpful throughout. We loved how much the room opened up, and there were so many steps. It was challenging but not impossible. We were engaged and entertained. Thank you cluequest! We had a fabulous time :)

  • 5/5 Denis K. 5 months ago on Google
    We have loved playing the Revenge of the Sheep. The room was really compact with a high density of puzzles ; a group of more than 4 players may feel a bit tight. The game feels pretty fluid, using a wide variety of mechanisms, some being very original. Senna was a really nice game master who provided us clear instructions and helped us through the minor technical difficulties we have encountered. We are looking forward to coming back for another mission.

  • 5/5 L P. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic escape rooms. The building itself is great with comfortable seats to wait, toilets available, water available. Love the theme running throughout. Shout out to Rowen and Josh for being amazing hosts! (We appreciate the extra time given to complete the harder room too) The rooms are well built, some snazzy immersive aspects that really add to the experience and great themes. Will try some of the other rooms when next in London again. Thank you, we will be recommending to friends :)

  • 5/5 Greg C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great staff, who are generally excited to welcome you, and spin a good story to set the scene. The room we did was 3/5 hard, but with a few nudges from the control room we were out with 2 minutes to spare. Adults will find it equally challenging if you've not done this sort of thing before.

  • 5/5 Ben M. 1 year ago on Google
    The premises (on the inside) are decorated with super-bright colours and fun themes which set up your mood for the adventure ahead. There is a wide range of challenges to try, from the traditional to virtual reality. The theme of our room this time was fun and the puzzles were the right level of tricky - moving through different physical areas of the room until the final magic door opened at last! All round a great evening!

  • 5/5 James A. 11 months ago on Google
    We went with our 16 & 17 year old both of whom had done escape rooms previously at clueQuest. The room was rated 3/5 and age 9+ and we finished with a couple of minutes to spare. The difficultly level was the right side of challenging / fun / exciting and the non linear structure of the challenge allowed us to work individually on some elements and brought us together on others which was a great bonding experience. Any intervention by the 'handler' was pitched perfectly to nudge us in the right direction rather than giving us the solution and we all came out with a collective sense of achievement that we'd solved the room together. I'll definitely be back. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Alex A. 1 year ago on Google
    Pretty challenging escape room, definitely recommend for those who have done a couple before and would like a challenge! Staff were super friendly and helpful as well. We had a great time there for a work social.

  • 5/5 Bethan H. 11 months ago on Google
    Such a fun experience! This place has a great theme and storyline throughout. There's a few rooms to choose from, all ranging in different abilities (easy to hard etc), but we had a blast! I went with my family (6 of us, adults) and no one was left out of anything. There were so many clues to find and puzzles to solve, very clever how they've created it all. They had to move our time to later and change our original room unfortunately, but they gave us a voucher for another trip, and because it was someone's birthday we got a free magnet with our picture on at the end! Trudi was our room master and was great throughout. Had an amazing time and will be returning to try another room!

  • 5/5 Frederic H. 1 month ago on Google • 1 review New
    We went as a team of three (two had never done an escape room before, one had) and had a great time! Our host Georges was wonderful and helpful and the room (Plan52) was terrific: a lot of fun. The team member who's been to escape rooms before said this was one of the most professionally-run ones they'd been to - everything worked smoothly and the facilities were impressive too.

  • 5/5 Amy N. 1 month ago on Google • 2 reviews New
    Had an excellent time here as a group of 10 people. We split into two teams and attempted the same room against one another. The escape room itself was very well designed and had lots of interesting components. Ilham and Eden were amazing hosts and chimed in with some very useful hints when they were needed.

👍👍 Great experience - perfect for family/friends or work groups! Just like the show; once you have arrived, settled in the waiting area (fully stocked bar & lots of room), put your items in free lockers (only charged if key lost) & your name has been shouted out - you are ushered into a room for photos...
