Mo, the person working there was very kind and helpful! And our favourite part was being locked in separate cells and having to get out

Birthday game
Feb 2020
Went for my friends birthday, we played bank job. I've been here before and the other room was a bit rubbish, it was jungala. This game was better than the other but the issue was that everything was broken, nothing worked! Scanning machines didn't work, and we'd get blocks lined up but the gadget wouldn't show that we got it right, this was on several different components. In the end they had to add on an extra 20 minutes to the timer because of all the broken bits we were waiting for. There is no interaction from the staff to make the game better, i.e. making stuff rattle if you got close etc.

Don't waste your time and money....
Feb 2020 • Family
Booked Alcatraz for my partner and 2 teenage boys.We worked the first clue out in 5 minutes but due to a faulty lock spent 30 mins extra locked in a cell.One of the torches failed and one of the rooms was so hot 1 of the party felt faint.Located in an undesirable part of Leicester added to the whole experience!..don't bother wasting your hard earned cash!.

Hard but fun..

I’ve had an eye on Escape Reality for a while having done several escape rooms around the country, I picked the three games based on the themes and we attempted them all as a 2. We failed to escape from Alcatraz and Jungala but did escape from Enigmista, my favourite room was Alcatraz and that was mainly down to the theming and immersion it provides. They do use an iPad as a remote GM you can carry around with you which I have seen draw some criticism from other enthusiasts but I don’t feel it impeded my enjoyment of the rooms in the slightest. Our GM’s were Mo and Tariq and couldn’t be more helpful, we had a couple of tech fails and these were resolved quickly and professionally. I would like to go back here and do the other rooms or even travel further afield to another branch.

Bank Job
Dec 2019
This room was excellent. Pitched at the perfect level for us and the kids age 10 and 14. We actually got out! Staff were friendly and helpful. Our Games Master was Mo and he was great. Thank you for a great experience.

We escaped!
Dec 2019 • Friends
Had a fab time escaping the ‘Jungala’ room with my wife and cousin. We did it in 57 minutes so only a few minutes to spare. Will definitely head back in the future! Thanks to Mo for being so helpful throughout our time there.

Really great experience.... highly reccomended.
Nov 2019
We went the other day and booked two rooms and weren't sure what to expect! Definitely felt like we escaped reality... with each room providing exciting and unpredictable challenges for us to unravel. Can't wait for our next visit! :D

Is it suitable for 8 and 6 years children?

I'd personally say it would be too challenging for children of this age. It would also be worth noting that under 14s would need an adult with them at all times.
