★★★★★**4.9 / 5** · 42 player reviews

★★★★"Played with the kids one rainy afternoon, all of us on the laptop together rather than spread out which worked fine. The school break-out idea went down well an[...](#)d the register puzzle had them giggling. Fair for the price but I'd hoped for one or two more puzzles for the money."

Faith Njoroge

From our archive

★★★★★"great fun with my old form group, Dave sorted our login fast"

Olu Bamidele

From our archive

★★★★★"Lovely way to see off the term with a few of us and it did the trick. My one moan is the to-and-fro between screens, an overview you could jump from would've sp[...](#)ared a lot of hunting."

Levi Donaldson

From our archive

★★★★★"End of term treat for the department and well under a tenner between us, bargain."

Anjali Reddy

From our archive

★★★★★"Clocked in at nearly two hours which threw me for a beginner one, our staffroom night. The break-into-the-staffroom-safe stretch dragged a touch but the school [...](#)setting won me over and I was glad we saw it through."

Tyrone Marshall

From our archive

★★★★"Good laugh for a teacher night in, bit on the easy side for us"

Rohan Saxena

From our archive

★★★★★"Did it with the children over a couple of nights, took maybe two hours all told. They've already asked to do another one which says it all."

Pearl Hosannah

From our archive

★★★★★"Teacher mates loved it, just wish it didnt make you click next quite so much"

Patrick Mutua

From our archive

★★★★★"Picked this one as the starter because the kids are 8 and 11 and they were buzzing the whole way through. The whole being-locked-in-the-school-after-a-reunion t[...](#)hing really tickled my eldest, she kept saying that's not allowed! Dave answered my daft email about getting started really quickly which was kind. We dont normally agree on anything as a family but we all got stuck into the locker bit together. We will absolutely be doing another, maybe a slightly harder one now they've got the hang of it. Thank you!"

Folake Ogunleye

From our archive

★★★★★"Proper beginner friendly. Good first try."

Lateef Balogun

From our archive

★★★★★"Nice easy one to finish off the term with. Used a hint or two but nothing major. Good fun."

Errol Beckford

From our archive

★★★★"Played with a few from work and got most of the way through the school before we gave up on the last bit, kept the tone light though. Decent. Wish there'd been [...](#)a way to skip a puzzle you're stuck on."

Isaac Frimpong

From our archive

★★★★"Wanted something the children could actually do and this fit the bill, the getting locked in school story had my son fully invested. We were all huddled round o[...](#)ne screen rather than dialling in from different houses which suited us. Reasonable price for an afternoon. Did find a couple of the answer boxes a bit picky which led to some frustrated faces, but we got there. Nice gentle starter."

Precious Adeyinka

From our archive

★★★★"good for the reunion gang, ran out of steam before getting out"

Sanjay Krishnan

From our archive

★★★★★"lovely gentle room a few of us teachers played on a Friday evening, each tucked away at home on our own laptops. Being the easiest one on offer it suited us per[...](#)fectly after a long week, nobody fancied anything taxing. i will hold my hands up that the corridor noticeboard had us properly stumped and we caved and used the clues page once, the answer being daft and right under our noses. We did get ourselves out of the building in the end though and there was a fair bit of cheering when the front doors swung open. Grand night."

Camila Rodrigues

From our archive

★★★★★"Lovely staffroom catch up and dirt cheap split between five of us."

Ngozika Maduka

From our archive

★★★★★"Saw off the term with the staff and it ran us about seventy minutes door to door. We got stumped on the gym lockers and leaned on the tips, but Dave's pointers [...](#)nudged us through. Lovely way to unwind."

Delroy Henriques

From our archive

★★★★★"We pulled the old reunion lot together for this one and the idea of being shut inside the school after everyone had gone home was just brilliant for our group. [...](#)Plenty of ribbing about who failed which exam while we puzzled out the padlock on the trophy cabinet near the main hall. If you do get properly stuck there is a clues page sitting there, and just knowing it was on hand put us at ease, though we never needed it. Going back to an earlier classroom means a bit of paging about, which took a moment to suss out. The lot of us are already planning the next one."

Marsha Pinnock

From our archive

★★★★★"Rounded up the teaching lot one evening and it made a proper change from marking. What I liked best was that nothing was timing us, so we ambled through with a [...](#)glass of wine and plenty of nattering. Being the gentlest room it was never going to floor us, but the school break-out theme had real charm and prising open the headmaster's desk drawer took us somewhere near eighty minutes by the finish. Just the tonic after a brutal half term."

Sandra Whyte

From our archive

★★★★★"Got the children round one laptop for this and the locked-in-the-school caper had them hooked, nobody minding that nothing was counting down on us, and a few qu[...](#)id for the lot of them is a steal"

Kelvin Mensa

From our archive

★★★★★"Few of us from work did this on a Friday and definately escaped the school in the end, chuffed with ourselves!"

Kunle Soyinka

From our archive

★★★★★"Did this with my two over the Easter hols and it kept them off the tablets. The bit where you raid the lockers for the head's keys had them properly chuffed. On[...](#)ly snag was hopping between screens to recheck a classroom you'd already left."

Tobi Adeleke

From our archive

★★★★★"Marked the end of term with a handful of colleagues, we tapped the tips page more than we'd care to admit on the assembly-hall code, the whole getting-shut-in-a[...](#)fter-the-reunion idea landed perfectly for a gentle first go."

Curtis Bramble

From our archive

★★★★★"easy for the kids, Tim helped us start, wish it lasted longer"

Akosua Boadi

From our archive

★★★★★"Few of us teachers scattered across the county jumped on Teams for this. The reunion-gone-wrong setup raised a smile and it was easy to follow. Really enjoyed i[...](#)t."

Damilola Oyelaran

From our archive

★★★★★"Fun teachers night, Dave sorted out our access code straight away. Recommend!"

Karthik Rao

From our archive

★★★★★"No rush with it, took it at our own pace. Spot on."

Bisi Olawale

From our archive

★★★★★"Got the old school crowd together on Zoom for this, brilliant."

Divya Bhatt

From our archive

★★★★"Decent staffroom fun. Tim quick to reply. Bit easy mind."

Janelle Forbes

From our archive

★★★★★"A few of us from the staffroom got together one evening after the bell and this was just the ticket for blowing off steam. We did lean on the clues page a coupl[...](#)e of times, the chemistry-store padlock especially had us going round in circles, and getting from the locked classroom to out the front doors took us about an hour and a half. Good giggle all round. My one gripe is that one of the combinations felt like a lucky guess rather than something you could actually work out, but we got there. We will be doing this again next term."

Brenda Ofori

From our archive

★★★★★"With our team having worked remotely for a year, we were missing our usual team get togethers until we discovered Trapped In The Web! Played the School's Out es[...](#)cape room over Teams and even though we needed a couple of hints, managed to escape - well done team! We are certainly going to give the other rooms a try!"

Deb Gobey

From our archive

★★★★★"My family of four (children aged 12 and 10) have just completed 'Schools Out' in two hours. It was very cleverly done and we really enjoyed the level of challen[...](#)ge. It was good value for money for a lockdown activity and we will definitely try another sometime."

Sarah Howard

From our archive

★★★★★"A great alternative to the quiz night on zoom! A fun night in, when staying in is the new going out... we did the school reunion, 1 1/2 hours of problem solving[...](#) (not too taxing!) with some 1980s pop thrown in. Dressing up optional!"

Leann McMullan Bishop

From our archive

★★★★★"Had a brilliant time doing the school's out escape room via zoom for a birthday. So much fun."

Rebekah Coombes

From our archive

★★★★★"We played Cabin fever.. it was quite challenging but we made our escape. The fact that there is no time limit made it a relaxing evening . will definitely play [...](#)another room soon... we have now played 2 more of these rooms and really enjoyed them. Schools out was completed with our children and we didn't need any hints. A great way to spend some time with friends via Zoom during lockdown."

Carol Finlan

From our archive

★★★★★"After an initial negative review owing to a misunderstanding of the difficulty levels to each room, I did feel that the rooms were "impossible". Since, Dave had[...](#) explained very kindly that I did choose the hardest room , I have since tried the school's out room and thoroughly enjoyed it and found much more success!! Would encourage people to look at the difficulty levels prior to trying. I would also like to thank Dave again for being so understanding! Would definitely recommend!"
