It was a blast!

As 2 mums with 4 bored young teenagers our mission, The Disappearing Duchess Part 1, far exceeded our expectations and we all had a thoroughly enjoyable time solving the mystery. Special thanks to Agent Lauren who was really helpful and friendly and played her part very well!

Highly recommend. Best in Basingstoke.

We did the missing duchess escape room. Agent Archie was excellent at setting the scene and preparing us to enter the room. Puzzles were challenging but doable. We have done a few escape rooms in Basingstoke and this is by far the best. Highly recommend.
