★★★★★**4.9 / 5**· 60 player reviews

★★★★★"Good fun but took us a lot longer than we thought it would!"

Linh Nguyen

★★★★★"Really enjoyed piecing together what happened to the four of them, properly gets you thinking. Only gripe is all the clicking back and forward, a little home pa[...](#)ge would have saved a lot of faff"

Tomasz Wójcik

★★★★★"Brilliant evening and great value for what you get. The four vanishings had us all hooked and we'll definitely be picking another room soon."

Bethan Probert

★★★★★"Pulled a load of us onto a Google Meet from our various houses for a midweek thing and it was a proper hit. Working out where those four had got to kept everybo[...](#)dy guessing and the whole call dissolved into people shouting over one another with their pet theories. My one little niggle is the navigation, you click forward and back so much that I kept forgetting which page a clue lived on and a home button would have helped no end, but that's a small thing. We're booking another for certain, maybe a step trickier now we know what we're in for"

Ellie Fairweather

★★★★★"Escaped in just under two hours which we were chuffed with. We only caved and used a hint once, on the bit about the third disappearance that had us completely [...](#)baffled. Genuinely eerie in places, a couple of the puzzles gave us a proper jolt."

Chloe Barrett

★★★★★"Played this over Teams with my brother in Leeds, great laugh."

David Osei

★★★★★"really enjoyed this one, kept the whole group hooked."

Wei Chen

★★★★★"So good, had us hooked the whole way through."

Maya Choudhury

★★★★"The creepy missing persons story is great and not having a timer meant we could really take our time mulling it over. Did find myself wishing there was a proper[...](#) menu though, you end up clicking next and back a fair bit to check things you've already seen."

Freya Mortimer

★★★★★"loved every minute, Tim was a gem when i got stuck, booking the next room"

Owen Tregaskis

★★★★★"Spooky and clever, loved it."

Tilly Redfern

★★★★★"Good but harder than we expected. Got there eventually."

Connor Mahoney

★★★★"Booked it for my husband's birthday, a few of us joining from our own homes. The eerie tale of the four who went missing kept everyone gripped for the guts of t[...](#)wo hours. We stalled midway and dropped a message, Tim replied fast and was very patient. Shame one puzzle stayed murky even after his nudge, but a lovely night."

Elena Popescu

★★★★★"Played this on a quiet Tuesday, three of us dialled in from our own front rooms. Loved that nothing was counting down so we could stop and squabble over the clu[...](#)es in peace. Eerie story too, my flatmate wouldn't sit in the dark after."

Amy Wong

★★★★★"Did this with a few mates and it was an absolute steal for the price split between us. The missing persons story is properly atmospheric and we were all chuckin[...](#)g out theories about what had happened. We'll be doing another for sure. Only thing I'd change is the navigation, you do a lot of clicking back and next to find a clue you've already passed and a little home page would make life easier. Minor moan on what was a cracking night though."

Ruairi Donnelly

★★★★★"Came in at somewhere past the ninety minute mark, the four of us each tuning in from our own homes over a call. The creepy mystery had everyone glued and nobody[...](#) fancied stopping until we'd pieced it together."

Erin Quigley

★★★★★"Such a fab idea, the creepy missing persons angle had my sister proper on edge. We emailed when we got stuck on one bit and Dave came back really quickly and po[...](#)inted us the right way. Will definately be doing another."

Leona Edwards

★★★★★"Great mystery, properly creepy. We did keep having to click back to recheck clues which was a bit of a faff. Dave answered our email in no time when we got stuc[...](#)k though, really helpful."

Carla Devereux

★★★★★"All on Zoom from our own homes, Tim sorted a snag at the start brilliantly."

Holly Frances Maguire

★★★★★"Rounded up the usual crowd for a night of puzzles on a video call and went for this because of the spooky write-up. The vanishing four reels you in from the off[...](#) and we were all squinting at our screens trying to spot what we'd overlooked. Nice that there's no rush, we needed that because we kept wandering off topic. And the price, once carved up between the lot of us, came to next to nothing each. We did sneak a look at the hints for the closing stretch but it was a smashing way to spend a couple of hours, cheers for making these."

Daniel Tran

★★★★★"Really good fun, would happily recommend to anyone."

Saskia Ellison

★★★★"good fun and a bit eerie, the answer box was fussy about capitals though."

Piotr Kowalski

★★★★★"Picked this for a quiet Sunday and ended up completely absorbed. No timer is the way to do these I reckon, we wandered off for a cuppa halfway through and came [...](#)back to it with fresh eyes, which is exactly when the missing persons puzzle finally clicked. Genuinely eerie story and brilliant value for the lot of us. We're already deciding which room to do next, that's how much we enjoyed it."

Dominic Frawley

★★★★★"Great laugh for a family natter, dont rush the middle bit."

Andrei Ionescu

★★★★"Decent puzzler with a nicely creepy missing-persons angle, and being able to take your time without a timer suited us. Bit on the pricier side compared to some [...](#)online games we've tried but we still had a good evening of it."

Mei Lin

★★★★★"We're a clan that's scattered all over now, so corralling everyone onto a Sunday afternoon call to play armchair detective was a treat. The four people who vani[...](#)shed kept my dad theorising right to the close, he announced he'd solved it about five times and was off the mark every single time. Worked out daft cheap once you split it across all of us as well. We did drop an email when we couldnt make sense of what one clue was after, and Dave talked us through it without any bother. Lovely evening, thank you."

Joyce Asante

★★★★"Roped in three of us on a call, all sat at our own kitchen tables miles apart, and we made an evening of it. The hook of working out what became of those four p[...](#)eople had a genuinely sinister edge, which I wasn't expecting from an online thing. It's billed as intermediate and I'd say that's fair, though a few of the puzzles left us bickering for ages and there was one where the leap from clue to answer felt thin even after the penny dropped. We got through it in the end, just slower than any of us would admit to."

Marcus Campbell

★★★★★"Cracking. Dave was quick to help when we got stuck."

Agnieszka Nowak

★★★★★"Sat down to untangle what became of the four who disappeared and didn't surface for a good three hours. Properly unnerving in spots. None of us could leave the [...](#)case half-solved, so we chipped away until the last of it gave."

Liam Geraghty

★★★★★"The five of us scattered across the country played this on a video call and it worked a treat. Pitched as intermediate and that was bang on, tricky in places bu[...](#)t never unfair. The whole missing persons mystery had a lovely creepy edge to it."

Marko Kovač

★★★★★"Just finished a family zoom get together where we played a Trapped In The Web Escape Room (Missing!) we had a great time, a challenging game which took team wor[...](#)k to solve... easy to navigate, good clear video content and helpful hints when needed (Not that we needed them...Honest!!!) definitely recommend this game and Dave was on hand direct via email for all my questions and was extremely knowledgeable for my zoom questions too! Great game, great service and we will definitely be back again Thank you - Jacki"

Jacki Trainor

★★★★★"Played ‘The Missing’ the other day and it was great. One of the best escape rooms we’ve played so far! We got one access and zoomed friends to screen share. Wor[...](#)ked really well. Will be back to do another room soon!"

Amy Henley

★★★★★"Just completed ‘The Missing’ with a group of friends. Really good fun and something different to do during lockdown! Would really recommend having a go. Took ab[...](#)out 1.5 hours for us to do. Loved it!"

Rachel Louise Hemstalk

★★★★★"Yes, its doing something a bit different for a birthday celebration in lockdown. We did The Missing and found it hard, we had to use hints! We enjoyed it, its g[...](#)ood value for money."

Karen Erangey

★★★★★"We played The Missing today online with family for my son's 13th birthday. I cannot recommend this highly enough. it was tricky but not too difficult and we all[...](#) thoroughly enjoyed it. our age range was 13 to 81 and everyone participated. A great idea and fabulous for a locked down birthday!"

Lily Gap

★★★★★"We did ‘The Missing’ for a new year party. There were 4 teams and we used zoom, to be honest there were only really 2 people taking part on each team. It was re[...](#)ally good fun, challenging though and we did need the hints. Some of the videos were a bit ‘jump scare’ so wouldn’t recommend for primary age although our teenagers enjoyed it! For £8.99, I would definitely do another one"

Sara Otley

★★★★★"Just completed The Missing ... fantastic way to spend a lockdown New Year’s Eve - definitely would do another"

Faye Missin

★★★★★"Played The Missing with my partner for our anniversary, had a lot of fun and was something different to do instead of virtual quizzes"

Rhiannon Smith

★★★★★"We've done two rooms now (The missing and Escape fest). 8 -10 people in 5 different locations were entertained, and challenged for just less than 2 hours each t[...](#)ime. Thoroughly recommend these rooms and we want to do the Christmas party room next."

Claire Bateman

★★★★★"I arranged this as a team event for ten people. It was very straight forward. Once I paid I received the URL that I could share with the team. It was great havi[...](#)ng the flexibility to login when suited us and to take as as long as we needed. We spent probably 80-90 mins. We worked off our individual screens and collaborated on video call. We did The Missing. There was good content and it was a good challenge which worked well as a team activity trying to figure it out together. Would highly recommend."

Mary Ellen Carroll

★★★★★"I talked my parent friends into doing The Missing room with our teen sons. I've found since lockdown, finding ways to engage with my sons friends outside of sch[...](#)ool has been challenging. My teen son hibernating in his room has driven me mad!! We have done escape rooms together as a group before and I didnt think online would be as challenging or exciting. How wrong I was. it was so much fun and really got the grey matter ticking. We purchased seperate household passes (3 hou"

Julie Thurston

★★★★★"Really loved it! Great fun during lockdown for less than a tenner! We played The Missing and will definitely be making our way through the next games. Thank you[...](#)!"

Rebecca Ackerley

★★★★★"Booked ‘The Missing’ for my boyfriend’s lockdown birthday - really fun way to spend couple of hours and it stretched our brain cells a fair bit! Great feeling o[...](#)f satisfaction to complete it and we look forward to tackling another one soon. Highly recommended!"

Liz Lunnon

★★★★★"Played The Missing with group of four, over two different locations. We bought two screen passes. Great! Tricky enough to get us all scratching our heads but no[...](#)t impossible. I would have enjoyed a little fanfare for completing . We will be playing more rooms."

Debbie Gilbert

★★★★★"My friend and I during lockdown have bonded over several of these escape rooms. The themes were great, escape fest, lockdown room and the cabin fever! We even d[...](#)id the space room. Believe it or not some took us 3 or more hours but, it was well worth the money! Just played the new room ‘the missing’ we are both isolating, played 2 screens and was very fun! Creepy to play at night but it was great fun!"
