Escape Livingston – Prison Break | Exit Games Scotland
https://exitgamesscotland.wordpress.com/2016/06/06/escape-livingston-prison-break
Escape Livingston – Prison Break. June 6, 2016. June 6, 2016. When I heard about Escape. Opening in Livingston I was over the moon, as it isn’t based in a city (the fact that its very close to home was an added bonus). Opened in early May 2016 with two brand new rooms, Espionage and Prison Break, with both rooms suitable for teams of 2-5 players. Booking is online, as with all Escape. Rooms, and is here. Prison break is described on the website as; “Your team have been wrongly incarcerated, having ...

Hurtling Through Space…… | Exit Games Scotland
https://exitgamesscotland.wordpress.com/2016/03/05/hurtling-through-space
Hurtling Through Space……. March 5, 2016. March 9, 2016. In honour of Can You Escape? Taking part in Disabled Access Day on March 12th, I thought I’d write my next review for them and include my thoughts on accessibility. Situated on Holyrood Road, they are literally a stones throw from Dynamic Earth and although there is on onsite/street front carparking, there is a multi story car park a couple of hundred metres up the road. Back in August 2015 we booked for our first game at Can You Escape? The entranc...

Getting to the Heart of the Matter… | Exit Games Scotland

Getting to the Heart of the Matter…. July 5, 2016. July 5, 2016. Since I heard that Escape Rooms Scotland. Were branching out to the east coast I’ve been waiting for months for the new Escape Rooms Scotland. 8211; Dundee to open, so as soon as the opening date was announced I bagged the first game of the opening weekend for both the rooms at Dundee, Black Pearl and CARA. You can tell how keen we were to visit, we’d driven up from West Lothian and our third team member had traveled over from Ayrshire.

February 21, 2016. I could make a million and one excuses, some of which could be worthy of an escape room senario, but regardless of what I can dream up the fact remains that I’ve neglected this blog so far this year. I have a backlog of rooms to review, so rather than put them all out at once I will try to put a review out every couple of weeks. Well, thats the plan…. December 11, 2015. December 11, 2015.

Evac – Glasgow | Exit Games Scotland
https://exitgamesscotland.wordpress.com/2016/02/21/evac-glasgow
Evac – Glasgow. February 21, 2016. February 21, 2016. We were rather intrigued by Evac Glasgow. As it appeared with very little publicity and a rather cryptic company website, Evac UK. Which also pointed to sites opening in Edinburgh and Aberdeen. The Glasgow site was listed as The Asylum, so we had visions of lots of mind games to work through. The next we heard of Evac was vouchers on not one,but two online discount deal sites. So of course we just had to buy one and visit. The final puzzle was the one...

Into The Bunker | Exit Games Scotland
https://exitgamesscotland.wordpress.com/2016/11/06/into-the-bunker
November 6, 2016. November 8, 2016. It doesn’t happen often, but sometimes I’m in the right place and the right time and get the opportunity for a sneak peak at new escape rooms, and also get to beta test them. This week I was most fortunate to take a team to the new venue for Escape Rooms Scotland. Which is on Great Junction Street in Leith to be one of the lucky tester teams. OK, I failed the first challenge! Where you will be greeted by some fabulous street art. We were then taken back to 1942, and as...

Locked In The Distillery | Exit Games Scotland
https://exitgamesscotland.wordpress.com/2016/08/21/locked-in-the-distillery
Locked In The Distillery. August 21, 2016. August 21, 2016. I last visited Locked in Edinburgh. Just about a year ago when they’d first opened and had a great time escaping from the offices of Dr. C. Lion. I just loved the concept of the room theme being exactly what the building was used for, and having so many of the original features still in place from the old vet school gave an added atmosphere that you just can’t re-create. And popping in for a quick drink (well it would be rude not to! Your missio...

Escaping out of the small screen | Exit Games Scotland

Escaping out of the small screen. September 9, 2016. September 10, 2016. This has been a while in the reporting, as it all happened back in April, but I’ve been given the OK to shout it from the rooftops, so here goes! What does ITV and Havas Media do when they want to promote their top four crime dramas to both advertising agencies and to potential sponsors? A call in Edinburgh. Well, why wouldn’t you head from London straight upto Edinburgh? The brief to Escape. With each show is set in a different are...

Navigating the Chamber of Secrets: An insight into China’s Escape Rooms – June 2015 | Intervirals
https://intervirals.wordpress.com/2015/07/11/navigating-the-chamber-of-secrets-an-insight-into-chinas-escape-rooms-june-2015
There are plenty of interesting stories out there. Navigating the Chamber of Secrets: An insight into China’s Escape Rooms – June 2015. July 11, 2015. There’s been a move away from the usual lock-and-key mechanisms as escape rooms in China try to stand out in an increasingly crowded market. Last month, The Global Times. Before digging into the news article further, I went looking for what escape rooms are called in China again and I’m going to bring up Dan Egnor’s post. Escape Rooms in China. Located in ...

A London Binge | Exit Games Scotland
https://exitgamesscotland.wordpress.com/2016/05/02/a-london-binge
May 2, 2016. May 2, 2016. Whilst this is Exit Game Scotland, I did say I’d occasionally mention rooms elsewhere and this is one of those occasions. In late April I traveled down to London to attend the second UK Escape Room unconference (the first was in Leeds in January) and well, I wasn’t going all that way without playing a couple of rooms…. which turned into a grand total of 6 in 36hours. Enter the Oubliette, Brixton. Its for teams 4-8, and can be booked online at http:/ www.entertheoubliette....
