- Trek138076576481 contributionThis was a fab escape room experience. A family birthday celebration much enjoyed and great fun BUT 1 hour is not long enough and we left feeling disappointed that we hadn’t cracked it. They’re missing a trick here as we would have paid again to get an extra hour or even 30 mins! There was no negotiation possible to do this. At 40% success rate it would be good (and totally in their interest!) to extend at a cost. We got offered a 20% discount for a future visit but we would rather have completed it that day.Thank you for the review! I am sorry to hear that you were left disappointed that you didn't get to solve the case in one go. I completely understand. It is an interesting proposal, offering paid extra time, but unfortunately we have a really strict schedule to make sure we can give our staff enough time to reset and take their allotted breaks - plus I don't think teams would be please to arrive and find the previous team still playing in their time slot 😅. Hopefully we will see you again soon and you can get this case solved once and for all!Written November 8, 2024This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited November 2024Traveled with familyWritten November 2, 2024
- alice aHinckley, United Kingdom9 contributionsWe had the best time in the escape room this evening, good job us oldies had the kids with us or we would still be in there! Running from room to room trying to work out the clues was so much fun! Science, maths and riddles got the brain cells turning I would highly recommend a visit very family friendly and Craig was brilliant with us we only needed 2 hints Thank you so much we will be keeping an eye out for the next one 😃Hi there, Thank you so much for leaving us some feedback on our trip advisor and Google reviews, it's massively appreciated. It's always great to hear people have had a good laugh at our rooms and we definitely look forward to having you back.Written March 29, 2024This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited March 2024Traveled with familyWritten March 27, 2024
- AbiGrier E1 contributionThis was such a wonderful experience. Our host Maisie was absolutely lovely and very considerate when some of our group were running late. It was a trip for my friends birthday and in one of the rooms we found a card, some cakes and some birthday decorations which was a really lovely touch. Would definitely consider coming back to do a different room!!Thank you for taking the time to write a review! So glad we could add a little something to your friends birthday. I hope we see you again when we have our new room out early 2025!Written December 14, 2024This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited December 2024Traveled with friendsWritten December 12, 2024
- Alice G1 contributionThis was a fantastic Xmas present. 4 adults really put to the challenge. We liked the variety of skills required and the design which kept everyone busy as well as the necessity to work as a team. Compared to previous escape rooms we found this more complex, interesting and had multiple areas to explore. Masie was an excellent games master and helped us have a fantastic experience from start to finish. Would definitely recommend this for a fun day out!Thank you for taking the time to write us such an amazing review! We are so happy to hear you had a good time with Death at the Lab, I hope you come back to try out our new game soon!Written March 14, 2025This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited December 2024Traveled with familyWritten December 30, 2024
- Ruth T2 contributionsWe had a really fun session at Escape Rooms: Death at the Lab today. Our party was made up of two adults and three teens. We all managed to have a part in the solving of clues. Really fun. Also, the location was central, parking was easy and there are lots of food options around so everyone was catered for - we had a lovely day in the city.Amazing! We love having adventurers of all ages! If there is anything we could have done to make your experience a 5/5, then we would love to hear any additional feedback.Written May 20, 2024This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited April 2024Traveled with familyWritten April 20, 2024
- Owain_LukeSalisbury, United Kingdom2 contributionsWe played "Escape From Space" last night as a family of four and had a great time. The game was original, well-designed and appropriately challenging. We were ably assisted by the enthusiastic and knowledgeable game host. We have also played "Death At The Lab", which was also very good.Thank you so much for leaving us a review!

- Adam V2 contributionsLiterally the best escape room, I've ever done. It was so much fun, we had a blast. Would thoroughly recommend for friends or families. The puzzles were a mix of skills and abilities with something for everyone to be good at. The clever electronics were actually amazing! Time was tight but we did finally escape. 10/10Thank you for the review - so glad our electric skills amazed!Written March 14, 2025This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited February 2025Traveled with friendsWritten February 19, 2025
- Zoe S1 contributionWas an amazing experience! The games master was amazing. Helped to organise a surprise proposal which was interested into the game. Really supportive and was kind enough to give us a bottle of champagne to celebrate. The games itself was really good and had lots of interesting twists and turns to decipher. Was great to go back in after the game to get some pictures in the room and video was taken of the proposal taking place.Congratulations to the happy couple! We were thrilled to host such a special moment!

- Chrissy1985 contributionsWhat a fabulously fun experience! Went for our son's birthday. Maisie, our hostess, was great! Got into role and explained things clearly. The puzzles were fab and we just managed to escape in time! It was interesting from a psychology perspective as to how the dynamics worked and how sub-teams form! My son and his wife have done an escape room before but my husband and I have not. I would say we'd go back but I guess we'd be out in under 20 minutes! Highly recommend!Thank you for taking the time to leave us your review! I have always said that psychologists would love watching escape rooms! And we would love to have you back in the new year when our new game launches early 2025!Written November 8, 2024This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited October 2024Traveled with familyWritten November 5, 2024
- Neal BGloucester, United Kingdom18 contributionsAn excellent escape room, brilliant fun. Went with the family, and we've done a few escape rooms before - this was definitely one of the very best we've done. Maisie, our host, was fantastic and did everything to ensure we had a great time. Would highly recommend!Thank you for your generous review! Very high praise indeed. Our games master's always aim to deliver on these games so feedback like this is always appreciated!Written May 20, 2024This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited May 2024Traveled with friendsWritten May 18, 2024

We always do an Escape Room in the build-up to Christmas as an excuse for a bit of a family get-together, so have done a few Rooms over the years (I've put 'Friends' in the classification below, because there is no drop-down that allows for Family (adult kids)). We've come to love Salisbury Escape Rooms for their scenarios, imagination and challenges that are set at just the right level. Escape from Space was no exception.
We were a team of 6 and, in some venues with more 'linear' solves required, a team of that size can find themselves with a few members stood around with nothing to do whilst the next puzzle in the line gets solved. Not the case here: we were all able to keep busy and entertained the whole time. There was a lot to think about and the format allowed for multiple consecutive activities to take place.
The space capsule set is first rate, superbly capturing the 'space station' feel, whilst leaving enough space that you don't feel in any way cramped.
We'd highly recommend Salisbury Escape Rooms generally (we've also done Death at the Lab and that was brilliant too) and Escape from Space in particular. Great for beginners and more seasoned escapers alike.

Hi there! Thanks you so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed review. It's always good to hear when we've succeeded in certain aspects that we aimed for. We believe that having multiple activities to work on really helps build the teamwork element of the room. We look forward to having you back when we have a new challenge for you!

Loved this escape room - there was enough to get our adrenaline going and the activities were varied. Navigation desk was a bit tricky and the headset was difficult to hear but overall we had a fabulous experience and can thoroughly recommend it. We didn’t think we’d escaped in time so getting out under the hour was amazing. Thanks to Maisie for her welcoming attitude and helpfulness

Loved it! Did Escape from Space and it's such a different twist on a traditional escape room: no padlocks but very high tech alternatives! It was so immerse and no one challenge was the same. Craig was a fantastic host, really setting the scene and then providing support where needed. We did require clues but were then disappointed with ourselves as we could then see we should really have worked it out!
Craig was very passionate and enthusiastic about the room and spent a long time with our team afterwards explaining how the room was created and some of the changes it had been through, which was fascinating for an experienced escape room team like ours. Highly recommended.

Played as a team of 6 for a colleague’s farewell. Big shoutout to Maisie who tweaked the game for us to make it “one last mission” together and put up a farewell banner for us at the end. The game was challenging enough for a team of 6 and everyone had their moment to excel at various puzzles. I’ll definitely be back to try other rooms in the future.

The only time we could get a last minute booking was 2000hrs on a Sunday night. All I can say is, if you’ve never done one of these before it’s fantastic, just an hour packed full of things to do and it’s fun.
Staff were brilliant, explained everything so when the clock started ticking, we were all fully prepared to try and beat the clock.
Birthday present or family bonding session - brilliant

We had an excellent time doing the space escape for my daughter’s 10th birthday. Our games master was very patient with a fairly relentless set of questions over the radio!
If you are doing a party for younger children, would definitely recommend having at least one adult in there just to help with connecting some of the clues (although I was admittedly also a hindrance on some of them…)

Our first escape room as a family and we really enjoyed it. We just managed it in time, but that didn’t matter - a well organised activity which we would highly recommend. However we look forward to when the children (9 and 13) are just slightly older to fully engage.

I've done several escape rooms in the past and Escape From Space has to be one of the best ones I've done. The set up is incredible, with a full immersive experience into a space ship. There is some really high tech interactions, and the way the game progressed made it really fun and challenging, with just the right level of stress to keep you on your toes.
The only downside is I wish I could do this room again, but we know all the clues! Will definetly be back to try Death at the Lab in the future.

Easy to book online and was kept up to date via emails with our booking. Easy to find. Short walk from car park.
The game master Craig was very pleasant and greeted us well. He went through all the relevant information before playing the game “death at the lab”.
This was our first time playing an escape room and I would highly recommend doing this escape room.

had a group of friends come down to Wiltshire from fairly afar and decided to spend a day in salisbury - with not much planned we booked a few hours before this little place and it majorly surpassed our expectations for a last minute idea. It looks like a very small place on the outside but on the inside is an amazingly thought out, incredibly fun place. The games master was absolutely fantastic and everyone enjoyed the experience so much! Thank you very much :)

How often does the escape room and puzzles change as visited in Dec 17?

Hi,
We change our scenario one a year in October so if you visited last December we are still running the one you have done until this October, we hope you will come and see us again then.

Hi...we are coming to Salisbury next week. Always wanted to have a go at this... Can my husband and myself do it as a team or do we have to make up a team of more people?. Do we have to book? Was thinking about next Thursday, 18th May..Thank you.
Written May 9, 2017
Hi, Yes you can do the Escape room as a Couple. You would need to book, ideally on-line as this reserves your session straight away.
I have had a look at Thursday 18th and we currently have 10am 12noon 2pm and 8pm available

We were hoping to get a large group together for this but I'm concerned only 6 people can go in together is this correct? Any clarification would be great aswell as cost.
Written September 24, 2016
Hello,
6 or 7 is really the maximum per team. We can run consecutive teams and are happy for teams that have completed the rooms to watch subsequent teams on our CCTV. If you let me have your email address I can send you some more info. The cost is £66 per team. Thanks, Matthew

Written September 24, 2016
Hi. Yes only 6 could go in at a time but it's even more fun with more as you can slit up into teams and then it's a competition as to who completes it fastest. Once your team is finished, you can watch the next teams in CCTV which was good fun

If you are a couple only group do you do the challenges by yourself, or do you get tagged with other couples and work as 1 big group?
Written September 14, 2015
Hello,
You do the challenge as a couple. We did, for a while, try to link couples who wanted to join larger groups, but it became too complicated to coordinate. The charge for a couple is £45.
