Escape Reality Manchester Ritual Escape Game #Review

Escape Reality Manchester Ritual Escape Game #Gifted

Scare, spook and spectacularly unusual happenings are the order of the day over at Escape Reality Manchester.

Warmly welcomed by the team, as always, but things soon turned dark and ritualistic.

My friends and I decided to take a well-earned trip to a remote village in Europe.  During a pub pitstop we overheard some of the locals saying that they have seen strange happenings from the forest.

Late night flickering lights and strange chanting from the forest seems to be causing a stir.  Not scared of adventure, we decided to delve further…

…but was that the right thing for us to do, as we are locked deep within the cabin we located.  Looking through the windows petrified figures in black hoods, that belong to a strange demon revival cult, need our sacrifice to achieve their demonic goal.

Looking for rare magical artefacts, spells and potions, well The Emporium of Magic is the place for you.  Also, if recent rumours are to be believed the alchemist has been mixing a magical potion which will give unlimited magical powers and see the unseen.

Creeping into the Emporium after hours, my team and I look for the recipe, but one problem our break in triggered a spell that has trapped us inside.

Now we had no choice…whip up the potion brew in order to escape, as without it we will be locked within the Emporium forever.

Breakout Chester Dark Magic and Excalibur Escape Game Review: November 2019

Breakout Chester located smack bang in the middle of the city is the perfect place for cracking clues and plenty of laugh out loud moments.

Dark Magic

These are dark times and upon exploring corridors, halls and stairways, myself and team of wonderful wizard’s found an exciting secret passage leading to an unknown room.

Intrepidly entering the unknown room, the air goes cold and we felt the presence of ancient Dark Magic!  It was our challenge to overcome this ancient power.

With a swish and flick of a wand, we cast spells onwards to victory, our professor will be most proud of us.

Excalibur

Be brave warriors, prepare to fight the fight, as myself and my fellow knights had been kidnapped from Camelot.

Being held captive in a tower whilst the intruders are disguising themselves as us.

The challenge was to find our way out of the tower, back to the round  table and prove our worth by being the true king by removing the sword from the stone…

Escape Reality Edinburgh Machina and Nosferatu Escape Games Review: September 2019

Edinburgh city centre, the location for an exciting escape game experience at Escape Reality Edinburgh.

Alex and the team, super accommodating, welcomed us warmly and made us feel instantly relaxed, getting us in the zone and ready to game play.

Machina

A team of expert scientists and programmers had been painstakingly sourced and put together to perform ground-breaking experiments in order to create the first true artificial intelligence on Earth.

Accepted onto the team and quickly ushered into their secret headquarters, we noticed something was odd, as scientists were disappearing and an increase in robots showing human traits.

On trying to leave, to report these strange happenings, the door is bolted tight, we are locked in with the rest of the team.  Escape or become part of the Machina experiment.  We smashed it, but the question is can you?

Nosferatu

It’s 1841, a time of dark happenings where vampires exist in a small region of Romania, West Transylvania.

Lucardo Manchester The Prison Escape Game #Review

Lucardo Manchester The Prison Escape Game Review: September 2019

A moody Manchester afternoon, location Virginia House, to take part in The Prison, NEW for 2019, an exciting, interactive and immersive escape game experience.  Including not just a full background story, but a continuing story development throughout your game play.

My gang of dodgy and underhanded criminals are down for being banged up into a Category A prison facility in Manchester after allegedly committing a series of crimes…of course we are innocent…well we like to think we are haha.

After a little convo and persuasion our connections on the inside are going to stage a riot providing the ideal opportunity for use to escape and get back to what we do best – crime!

With limited time, you need to deceive, lie and bribe to get out of this scumhole…getting a prison on side would be a good start, but that scum is hard to turn.

Manchester High Street, just a hop, skip and a jump away from the Manchester Arndale shopping complex, is in an ideal city centre location.

Captured

Becci our lovely games master, made her introductions and it was time to let game play commence.

Team and I just going about leading our regular life’s suddenly find ourselves locked in an abandoned basement with no obvious route of escape – captured!

Some people are ungrateful to be alive, the idea of the game creator and his sinister game play.  A creepy feeling takes over, as a video begins to play… if you don’t want to play well you will die, so make sure you use your 60 minutes well or your life will come to an end…

However, hold off the celebrations, as things have gone a little bit wrong, as Jamie noticed a serious glitch and needs your help.
