What Our Agents Say
Fun day out for birthday treat
I booked this for my daughter and friends for a 15th birthday treat.The staff were really friendly and the girls really enjoyed the escape room. It was well organised and I could hear them enjoying the experience when sitting outside and their delight when they cracked the escape. I highly recommend the experience. Thank you for making it fun and engaging for them.

One of My Favourite Escapes!
We’d chosen Hidden Past to try as a family. It’s near perfect – lots of puzzles to play at once, so no one is bored or stood watching. All wrapped up in a nostalgic theme which felt so appealing. We’ll be back again, I’m keen to try a third room.

Fantastic escape room!
We have completed a number of different rooms with Exciting Escapes in Basingstoke and are never disappointed! This was another brilliantly fun and challenging room, with interesting puzzles and a engaging theme.
