My daughter had a brilliant time at a birthday party here! Really great fun and she can’t wait to do another escape room. Thankyou!

Had a great time doing a chocolate escape room today! We finished with 3:25 left and we found everyone who worked there helpful! Thank you very much!

The maze was great and the team were all lovely, including all the characters who stayed in character but were still great fun. Will definitely come back again next year.

Room was wonderful very much enjoyed but ran out of time by only a few minutes so make sure you finish the first room within the time they suggest and don’t be afraid to ask for clues. Unable to give refunds for 2 people who could not make it which is understandable. Price was reasonable when compared to others that I had found.

Review edited since we were invited back to try the other room - originally we did the Chocolate room and had quite a few issues with things not being put back correctly etc so we felt that the experience was spoiled a little by there being regular interruptions to put things right. However we were kindly invited back to try the other room for free, and we had a much better experience this time round - everything ran really smoothly, and they were accommodating in turning off the fog machine for a member of the group who is asthmatic. We enjoyed this room much better and would definitely recommend giving it a go if you are up for a challenge!

Its very unassuming from the street, tucked down an ally behind the main high street where you wouldn't ever think to look without the instructions for finding the venue (park at the Tesco or the nearby council carpark). Once you get in and up the stairs however, the staging area is beautifully decked out (see photo). The staff are extremely friendly and talkative and its clear that they enjoy their work.We did the Chocolate Factory room as a group of 2 adults 1 9 year old child. The puzzles are age appropriate - some maths, some logic, some hidden object and of course, the obligatory locks, keypads and buttons. We found it quite challenging to complete, though much of it was from our own errors and things like mis-counting.Chocolate Factory is formed of 3 small 'room' areas and a connecting corridor. I would suggest that a full group of 6 may find themselves a little squashed. There is nothing fearful or concerning in this room at all and a well behaved younger child would likely be content to be involved.Lockers are provided for your personal effects, as you are not permitted to take things into the rooms. I was not asked to remove my smart watch (but mine isn't capable of taking photos). I don't know if the normal policy would be to ask you to do so however!Speaking to the two hosts after our experience, its good to hear that the venue already has plans, both for expansion and 'refreshing' their offerings. We will certainly be back for the second room once we have an adult group!I would consider the experience good value for money - the total cost for our group being about double what a cinema visit would have cost us (before popcorn ......) and considerably more 'involved' - its amazing how fast that hour goes!

Took a group of children there for a birthday event and they loved it. Couldn't fault the game or the host. An excellent experience.

It was a nice little evening trying to find the Dimond and escape the room. The building was very clean and looked very quirky.Amazing staff that were very helpful and friendly.I’d recommend this venue to everyone, it’s a great way to spend those few hours having a laugh with friends and challenging you brain.5 stars all round

We were at a loose end this afternoon and thought it would be nice to get out and do an escape room, so messaged Courtyard Escapes on the off-chance they had any imminent availability. Received a prompt reply from Ben, and less than an hour later we were playing ‘Archibald’s Legacy’.This was our 40th escape room, and we were pleased we decided to visit. The venue is nice, the room set-up is pretty good, the puzzles are well-conceived, and the prices are more than reasonable.The room was harder than expected, and we made it out with just 1:32 left on the clock! Apparently the success rate is pretty low for groups of two, so we were pleased to have beaten it. Although we struggled in a few places and only just made it out, we didn’t find it was one of those rooms that is frustratingly difficult.Courtyard Escapes is absolutely worth a visit, and deserves the numerous good reviews it has. We’ll definitely be back soon to play their other room.

Absolutely amazing. Went here for my stag do, and it was awesome. Never done an escape room before. Was awesome. Thanks for the hospitality, and the GM was a top lad too. Highly recommend
