404 Escape

This was an amazing experience, really frightening but definitely not for the faint hearted. We managed to escape just about with 8 minutes to spare. Game host James was very helpful with all the clues and the NPC which I hated whilst in there was actually very cool.

Had a fantastic time in Escape 404. We did the horror themed escape room and it was proper scary. The puzzles were excellent. We've done quite a few escape rooms and this was one of the best, if not the best horror themed escape room. We thoroughly enjoyed it and would highly highly recommend.

I loved the experience at 404 Escape; the place was lovely and the lady who works there is very kind. She made adjustments for both my friend and me, while still creating a great experience. Loved it, I 100% recommend it and I will be coming back.

We did the Survival room and found it really disappointing, especially compared with other Escape Rooms nearby. It would perhaps be fun if you're easily scared but personally the theme felt more funny than scary, and there wasn't really much of a story to explain the context of why you were doing the escape room at all.The limited number of puzzles weren't particularly difficult, especially given this is advertised as a 5-star, and as we still had more than half the time available at the end we felt it wasn't great value for money either.

The BEST horror escape room!I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars. For ages I have been looking for a really scary escape room, and this did not fail to deliver. For someone like me, who doesn't scare easy, I had a blast and was jumpy at times, but I was mostly in hysterics. The games master James was amazing and he really added to experience. I went with a bunch of people that scare easy, so laughing at them made the experience super fun. My cousin literally fell to the ground as he got scared, too funny! The 90 minutes was very helpful as it is challenging. Definitely worth it, I would highly recommend. I felt like I was in a real horror movie :D

My first escape room and it has set my standards high, the woman who works here is so accommodating and lovely, I would recommend this to everyone!

Tired, lack lustre and simple. Advertised as a 5 star difficulty horror themed room with few padlocks, we didn't rush through by any means and were done in 41 minutes. We counted 7 puzzles to complete in total with 3 padlock style puzzles. Naz was a welcoming host but frankly having an NPC ruined the experience as it broke the atmosphere. There is no story, just random 'scary' posters and props, which makes you wonder what you are trying to achieve when starting the room. Loud music in the room made no sense and couldn't hear the other people. Traps actually hurt too, be warned. You'd be far better spending the 10 extras minutes travelling into central Birmingham and getting a far better crafted escape experience. Price is extortionate for the quality of this escape room, I'd personally advise to avoid.

Amazing experience this weekend for my sisters birthday. We completed the survival room which was very jumpy. There were 7 of us and we had a lot of fun. James was a really good host. We managed to escape the room with 16 minutes to go... we were even presented with a lovely gift after.
