    5 of us booked Room “Alan” last minute. Our games master was Aaron who was friendly welcoming and enthusiastic. It was the best damn escape room we’ve ever done. The props, quality of clues, amount of effort that’s gone into devising complex interactive riddles and clues that require multiple layers of code breaking had us astounded. It’s set at the perfect level of difficulty where you actually feel clever (lol) for working things out and at the same time leaves you gawking at how clever the people setting the challenge must be! Great story line, state of the art clues, and theatrical and immersive experience. What sets it apart from others is just the sheer amount of clues on offer and the quality of the rooms and props. Highly highly recommend going you will not regret it!

    First timer. Tommy was harder than we thought, needs a team larger than 2

    A brilliant first experience of an escape room. We played (and amazingly escaped from!) ‘Mary’ with our kids (aged 11 and 14) and were all engaged in the puzzles. There was a good variety of them and we were watched over by a friendly member of staff (Martin) and a talking toaster to make sure we didn’t go too far off track or wander around aimlessly for too long. If you live near Derby, go! Brilliant fun!

    Great escape room! We did edith which was both terrifying and exciting, huge shout out to Marcus who managed to run the entire thing by himself! Lovely guy, had great fun and was thoroughly terrified!

    We really enjoyed the room (Alan) that we did. The theme throughout the room and wider building was excellent and the staff seemed to be having about as much fun as we did. Very proud to count ourselves among the 5% of people to actually escape this room within the time limit

  • 5/5 DJ H. 1 year ago on Google
    Done nearly 150 rooms and these rooms are up there as some of the best we've done. Incredibly immersive, great puzzles, and a fantastic host. Did 3 rooms and they we're all soooooo much fun. Escaped Alan with 10 seconds to spare, sweat dripping down my face and completely forgetting it was just a game! We'll be back to do Edith as soon as we pick up the courage 😉

    A fantastic choice for our daughters 11th birthday, brilliantly hosted by Marcus as we smashed Mary to bits in near record time!

    My 16 year old son, his two mates and I completed the Mary room. We all enjoyed it and although we had some sticky moments, we managed to complete it, with a little help from Wik, who was very good.

    Great fun, only my second escape room didn't manage to escape, but I still had a great time with a mate that wasn't too expensive.

    Amazing escape rooms. Last week we did Edith with our GM Harry. Quite scary but not to a point where you wouldn’t want to continue. Harry gave us really good tips without telling us exactly how to do the riddles. My partner really enjoyed that one. Today we did Mary and our Skygod (GM) was Jay. I really enjoyed it, I’d say one of my favourite rooms. Everything made sense when solving the riddles. Me and the talking kitchen appliance are like best friends now. Jay absolutely smashed it today. He helped us a lot when we needed it and we didn’t feel rushed. Soon we will be back to do Tommy and Alan.

    We nearly managed to get the record for the Tommy room we attempted. Used it as a way to have fun with friends I hadn't seen in a while and it definitely delivered. Rooms are well done, puzzles are intuitive and the storytelling aspect from the staff are amazing!

    We did the "Edith" room. Was a lot of fun and I was certainly very scared. Nice set up of venue.

  • 4/5 Nicky L. 3 months ago on Google • 50 reviews New
    The escape room experience was exhilarating and immersive. The intricate puzzles challenged our teamwork and problem-solving skills. The themed setting added a layer of excitement, making it an engaging adventure. The staff was friendly, providing just enough hints to keep us on track without spoiling the fun. Overall, a fantastic escape room that kept us captivated from start to finish.

    We completed the Mary room. Wife, myself and two kids aged 9 and 12. We all really enjoyed it. Lots of puzzles, fun clues, separate rooms, a bit of crawling and had the atmosphere of a broken spaceship. Top marks! I was worried it would be too hard for the kids but not so. It was a good level where everyone in the family contributed ideas and worked as a team

    We did the Tommy room as a group of three (two adults and a teenager) and it was perfect. Not too easy, whilst remaining challenging and very close to the time limit. The staff were very professional and made the experience quite dramatic. Would highly recommend a visit.

    First escape room we’d done. Did the Mary room and it was amazing. We got fastest time of the week. Thoroughly enjoyed it and can’t fault it any way, shape or form. The staff were great. Thank you.

    Honestly the most scariest but absolutely best experience we've had. Came here yesterday with my partner and children and we are still talking about it today. If your a wimp don't do the room Edith. They got me good. They got us screaming 😱 Awesome company/people, Awesome experience. Can't wait to do some more rooms. Honestly can't big this escape room company up enough. Don't think my adrenaline has ever been that high

    Bloody loved it!. We played Mary which was atmospheric, funny and great for 2 people. More than one room and some crawling required Loved the host who remained in character throughout. Great experience Would go to this venue again

    We went to celebrate a birthday, Martin the games master was amazing, couldn’t have been more helpful and he really set the atmosphere. Ours was a mixed ability group, some had experienced escape rooms before, everyone found something to keep them busy and involved. We played and escaped ‘MARY’ and all thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Good variety of puzzles, support during the game and excitement. Will definitely be going again soon.

  • 5/5 Max H. 1 year ago on Google
    Have done 2 rooms here, Tommy and Edith. Both are done very well. The people who work here are obviously very passionate about the work they do. If you don't like scary stuff I would avoid Edith however for any thrill seekers it's pretty darn thrilling.

  • 5/5 Anna B. 2 years ago on Google
    We had so much fun completing the ‘Tommy’ room! It was really immersive with different props/decoration and the challenges and puzzles were very satisfying. Matt was great, very friendly and funny, he really set us up for the game and got the vibe going with his character.

  • 5/5 Gabriel M. 2 years ago on Google
    First time in an escape room and the experice was incredible. We tried Tommy and really enjoyed it. Our gamemaster Stephen was really helpful and friendly. I honestly wasn't expecting it would be so much fun. Will definitely try all the other rooms.

  • 5/5 Aimee M. 1 year ago on Google
    we did the “tommy” room and it was so much fun!! we enjoyed every second of it. the staff were all lovely and made sure we had fun. will definitely come to do another room- thank you!!

  • 5/5 Agata G. 1 year ago on Google
    Alan was a difficult escape room, but a lot of fun at the same time, the more challenging ones are always best… Tori was a top 5* host too. Brilliant!!

  • 4/5 S A. 9 months ago on Google
    Alan room- ring before you book this room. Its a multi-room thing with about 10 locks to get through and is the most difficult. Needs about 2 hours i would say. Most people dont finish it. Place needs hoovering/dusting. Good range of locks and puzzles and friendly staff. But misleading details on website.

  • 5/5 Alicia T. 2 years ago on Google
    You’d walk past it on the street without realising so it’s a hidden gem. Didn’t think too much to it as we walked up the stairs but as soon as we got to the top, it looked great! Matt was our host and he was so friendly and helpful. The theme is upheld and continuous throughout the building, so the hosts and scientists and they’ve got a time travel machine which is why you can visit different eras (the rooms). We did the Tommy room and the room itself was so interesting and interactive. You used potatoes, shovelled sand, it was really good and everything was made to feel like it belonged there perfectly. It was really impressive and it kept getting better honestly! The couple of negative things I would say is that it’s not disabled- friendly and I assume maybe it’s a listed building and that’s why there aren’t lifts (that I knew about anyway) and why you wouldn’t be able to fit a wheelchair or maybe someone on crutches walking around. For abled-bodied people like ourselves that wasn’t an issue of course but it could easily have been. I must admit though, I didn’t think the Tommy room would be as claustrophobic as it was. I’m not super panicky in those situations but I did feel flustered in the ‘trenches’. Maybe if the rooms came with a slight warning just because I’ve done escape rooms before that warn you about it, and then there’s no enclosed element so I think maybe a small heads up would’ve been good. They take a Polaroid at the end and I will say it would have been nice to receive a copy! We’ll definitely come back again though as it really was fun and the time flew by (unfortunately)

    We had an amazing time playing Edith at unescapeable this evening. We were truly scared on more than one occasion and it definately didn't improve our puzzle solving abilities. Wik was absolutely the best game master and provided us with a great experience. Thank you again for an amazing evening and we will be joining you again soon to try out Mary!

  • 5/5 Lucy F. 8 months ago on Google
    I've never done an escape room before, and this did not disappoint. Izzy (our instructor) was really helpful, informative and got us really geared up to take part. The room itself was just the right amount of terrifying and we managed to escape with 22 seconds to spare. It's clear that an awful lot of thought and attention to detail has gone into Unescapable, and I'd definitely recommend it. For those of a nervous disposition there are three other escape rooms at this venue that are easier on the nerves.

    Went with 3 grandchildren - youngest 10 yo. We all had a great time and got out just on 60minutes - thanks to gamemaster Tori. Game was well presented and interesting with different types of puzzle. Will be back to try other rooms !

  • 5/5 Kyran H. 6 months ago on Google
    Harry was an excellent enthusiastic host for our Mary run, and I had an awesome time in Edith another time. Hands down the best four escape rooms on offer in the UK!

  • 4/5 Sarah 1 year ago on Google
    We did Edith, very fun, exciting & scary! We felt like we were helped a bit too much though, given clues when we didn't ask for them & it ended up feeling rushed, we would have liked to work some of it out ourselves.

  • 5/5 Tracy F. 1 year ago on Google
    Love this place did Edith with just me and anouther friend n we did it with 30 seconds 2 spare and then did Mary a few wks l8t and there was 4 of us this time 12 mins 2 spare lol brillant place something different 2 do Edith was the Frist time I had done 1 n loved it will deffo b going bk 2 do outher rooms staff r brillant Aron n Izzy r amazing xx

  • 5/5 Erin M. 1 year ago on Google
    AWESOME ESCAPE ROOM! Super atmospheric with really interesting, well thought out, challenging but logical puzzles that require teamwork to solve. We did Alan's room with just two of us and LOVED it. Such good value for money too given we got put with 5 seconds to spare! We've done quite a few different escape rooms with different companies and this is absolutely one of the best. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Tash M. 1 year ago on Google
    Was my first escape room experience and it was a great time. Pretty much exactly what I expected and just the right amount of challenging. Worth the money and definitely better with friends. You can tell they put a lot of effort and time into every game and they were very helpful but only when we needed the help!

  • 4/5 Richard H. 1 year ago on Google
    Great escape room, the up/down/left/right padlocks are tricky to use, so make sure you can use these before going into the room as you will save time. Was a bit chilly tbh, but great rooms, great staff, and a really engaging and original escape room. We did Alan which was challenging, but doable for 4 mediocre people (if you can use the padlocks!)

  • 5/5 Rich 1 year ago on Google
    Have done quite a few escape rooms but never a scary one. Loved doing Edith and would recommend it to anyone wanting to try one! Looking forward to trying the other rooms on offer.

  • 5/5 Oliver R. 2 months ago on Google • 1 review New
    Absolutely class escape room - first one I’ve ever done and it’s set a very high bar for the ones in the future. Mary had everything; getting us quivering, dancing and chuckling our way through the multiple rooms. Crawling is required, however it just added to the amazing experience. Thank you Aron and everyone else involved!!!

    Absouletely amazing escape rooms Matt and Aaron were great hosts and made the experience perfect! highly recommend to anybody and will definitely be coming back to complete the last two. Thank you!

  • 5/5 Ellie H. 3 months ago on Google • 1 review New
    Me and my 2 friends experienced 'edith' and we had no idea what we were up for when we booked but that gave us that bit more excitment when we arrived. Matthew, our amazing host, treated us well and made our time very enjoyable. Would absolutely book again!!

😠 We did the Heist room, the first half of the room was okay but after you get through the vault you are just faced with a wall of 15 boring uninspiring puzzles designed to waste your time, nothing difficult or satisfying just a chore, honestly the worst escape room I've done in Derby. Poor attention...
