exciting game

A hybrid of tennis today and squash.interesting to watch and a step into the past. We watched someone making the balls they use - sort of like a tennis ball with flat sides.

Great fun activity, we were a little unsure of what to expect and the frontage and waiting room didn't really inspire a huge amount of confidence, but........7 of us went for a 30th birthday and split up to tackle each of the scenarios. Time flied by and the whole concept is really well done, challenging enough to keep you on your toes, but also your guide will point you in the right direction when he sees you floundering. As a group we enjoy puzzles and games and I think this made it all the more enjoyable. I would definitely go again to do the other room. I think the website could give a little more examples without giving things away as the enterprise deserves to be successful. A great afternoon and thoroughly enjoyable.

I had absolutely no idea what to expect and was very pleasantly surprised, it was a great deal of fun. Clearly run on a fairly low budget, but don't let the low key surroundings or the building deter you, it really was a great laugh. The first five minutes were a bit strange, and the mission briefing was quite short, after a few minutes of tentative poking around the room we soon got into the swing of it, searching high and low for the next clue.We'd never have done it within the hour if it weren't for the helpful hints popping up on the screen now and again, you're monitored throughout the game so they can see when you're really getting stuck so it never becomes frustrating.They have two different games at present I think, I'm very tempted to go back with the family and try the other one.

Didn't know what this would be like, but it was really really enjoyable. Think Treasure Hunt crossed with Crystal Maze(if you're old enough to remember them)!! Don't be put off by the low key surroundings - it was brilliant fun for 6 of us aged from 11 to 70!! Very original, we loved it.

5 of us went - me, wife and 3 children ages 10, 10 & 12 and it was a really good, individual experience. The tasks were a little bit tricky for us to do but you get clues as you go to make you seem less thick. Other people will probably be much better than us. However, the effort that must go into the preparation of this for each party is significant and the whole impression is that it has been created and is operated by a bunch of eccentric, very clever people. They could do with improving the grammar of their mission statements but that is the only minor point. We came away thinking that we got great value for money in a !way that you just don't get in a slick mass-produced theme park-type attraction. Highly recommended!

Having decided to go to Oxford I checked out trip advisor for something to do & saw this. As other have said we didn't know quite what to expect but with such positives reviews we decided to give it a go & we were not disappointed. We were a family of 4 with a 24 year old & 9 year old & it is always difficult to find something for everyone but this hit the spot. You have 1 hour to follow the clues in the room to get the answers to save the world. Working together we managed to crack all the clues to stop the Meteor destroying ........... who knows where with just a minute to spare ;-) We had a great time with everyone finding some clues.

We were a party of 9 celebrating our 13 year old's birthday. We booked both games and split our group into two. Everyone loved it, so much fun and completely different to anything else out there. The time flew and we were all talking about it hours later. We all want to go back and try the game we didn't do. Our group ranged in age from 10 - 55.

The game is well thought thorough out and it can be sometimes challenging, but is is part of the fun. The hour went very quickly and we all left with an smile in our face. Mission accomplished! I would highly recommend it for anyone who wants to challenge their minds and have great fun at the same time.

We found this on Tripadvisor whilst looking for something to do in Oxford. We weren't quite sure what to expect but the reviews here convinced us to have a go. As a family of 5 with 2 teenagers and one aspiring teenager, most activities turn into an argument/fight with Mum and Dad trying to keep the peace. However, for the 52 minutes it took to solve the game (with one or two pointers along the way) we all worked together and it transpired to be a great 'teambuilder' for the family, with all members still discussing and analysing the clues/puzzles even after we left. We will probably return to do the second room/game.

We found this place by accident when looking for something different to do with the children. It is well worth the trip and good fun for all the family (we were 9 -45!). Looking forward to going back to try the other room! If looking for lunch, try Mojo,s cafe below exciting!

We were in Oxford and decided to do something for fun! It was a very challenging game and just managed to do it under 1 hour! We were a team of 5 , did the Mad Scientist game and found some of the things very tricky! It is great fun and I highly recommend it for friends, team builds and families as well! Its a must visit place :)

Enjoyed it very much. Found the puzzles fun to work out with my group of friends. Would be interested to do one again!

This is the third type of attractin of this kind I have visited, the others being hidden valley in Devon and clue quest in London. This was chosen as a end of year event for a few work colleagues instead of that go to the pub thing that normally happens at Christmas time. Four of us did the mad scientist game and where as the two previous events I had done were more family orientated this one was a bit tougher and suitable for adults or lateral thinkers. Still great fun todo and will at,some point try the other game.Good value and worth a trip out.

My friends and I were looking for something different to do together in Oxford. We were glas we booked this. It was a different experience and we loved the game. None of us had done anything like this before. So we were really excited. Well thought out!!
