The Twisted Sisters were not gonna take it anymore! They needed to come to our room and absolutely rock it while having a blast! The gamemaster knew it would be a fun ride as one Twisted Sister said "Enjoy the show!" during the intro!

They certainly did not disappoint with their gameplay or their humour! Several times throughout the game the Twisted Sisters had the gamemaster laughing to themselves along with the Sisters as they had a great time! Winning part 1 with just under 10 minutes to spare was absolutely something to be proud of! There were rumblings the Twisted Sisters may return today to complete part 2, but even if they don't the Old Post will certainly welcome them back any time to complete their song!

We love a bell ring on a beautiful Saturday! Its even better when the team that does it returns to do it after 4 years! RIP to the Parm was just that team yesterday!

RIP to the Parm may have taken 4 years to make their return, but they didn't show it! Catching back up was swiftly done without much help from the gamemaster at all! Working through all of the wonders of a return visit was not lost on RIP to the Parm! They enjoyed every moment and made sure bask in the room! RIP to the Parm rang yhe bell with 5 minutes to spare, and what a win it was! We hope to see them back for Clockworks before too long!

We could not have asked for a better team to finish off Saturday with at the Postmasters Riddle! Team Andy had energy and positivity from the get go and never waned!

Although a few members had never done an escape room before, that didn't stop them from meeting every puzzle as it showed up ready to complete it! Team Andy made it to the end of Part 1 and finished just in the nick of time, a feat this gamemaster knows would have made Andy very proud! Their spirit and fascination with the room will hopefully lure them back before too long to complete the Postmasters Riddle and ring that bell!

The Frozen Sausages came into our room on Sunday and loved it so much that they simply had to return and do part 2 on Tuesday!

Working their way through part 1 on Saturday was a delight to experience for the gamemaster! The Frozen Sausages tackled every puzzle, and knew when to ask for clues when they were required! They were so eager to finish the room that coming back on Tuesday was much of the same story from Sunday! Their efficiency and teamwork got them through part 2 and ringing the bell with 20 minutes to spare! Long live The Frozen Sausages, and may they venture back soon once Clockworks opens its doors!

Saturday had another suprise in store for the gamemaster with The Super Six! This group of girls celebrated Marianne's birthday in the best way by conquering our escape room!

The Super Six quickly got down to work solving puzzle after puzzle. The gamemaster hardly spoke to them as they flew through so much of our room with ease! Winning part 1 and making a great start into part 2, will hopefully motivate The Super Six to return and finish what they started!

What a way to start off a Saturday morning with a bang! DA BOYS came into our room bright and early and weren't phased for a moment!

Their determination and teamwork proved more than enough to best our room! DA BOYS used all the resources at their disposal (gamemaster included) to win part 1 in excellent time! We look forward to seeing them make a return and ring that bell for all to hear!

What a fantastic family to host on a Friday! Team Forbes was fully invested from minute one and we were so glad they decided to find themselves at our escape room when they did!

Frantic work and throughout the whole room allowed to make great time! Team Forbes finished part 1 with 10 minutes to spare, and got to forge a path into starting part 2! We hope they find their way back in the future, filled with as much focus and fervor for puzzle solving as thet did this time!

Last week for Mother’s Day, we welcomed in this entirely delightful team all the way from Tavistock… TEAM HENDRY!

Originally planning a hike, and then seeing the weather forecast, Team Hendry opted for an indoor activity to do with mom. They searched escape rooms and found us! Let the drive to Harriston commence!!

Team Hendry was all fun. A very bright family, all of them contributed to solving our unique handcrafted puzzles throughout the game. You would have thought there was more than four in the room!

They easily won Part 1 with time to spare, and got a good start on Part 2. We hope they consider us for their next rainy day to make the drive and complete our room! Perhaps Father’s Day? 👀

All of you were a delight as mentioned, and we can’t wait to see you all again. The perfect Mother’s Day gift!

Well.. we haven’t had a team name like that in a long time! 😉

This was the kind of team where you come down to greet the escape room team, and you can already tell it’s going to be a good time!!

Jimbo’s Bimbos’ didn’t have too much escape experience, but they were so excited to learn and discover all of our hidden secrets.

So many great finds by this group, but so many more great laughs had by this friend group from Arthur!

The best Part is they were able to snag the Part 1 win in time! It was a great celebration as they started on Part 2.

We’re really looking forward for Jimbo to bring back his bi**os and have them all ring the bell soon! So all I’m Arthur can hear! What a delight to host! See you again soon Jimbo’s Bimbos’!!

Oh man, how can you not smile when you see a picture of Team Boat Shoes!??

Hailing from Southhampton, Natalie and Kyle found us through Google, as one of the highest rated, and closest escape rooms. They booked back a few months ago, and was so excited for the date to finally come, and make the trip over to us! So prompt, they even beat the Gamemaster to the building. 😉

What a kind, and fun family. They were so invested in the history of the building, and the puzzles inside of our room. We really can’t rave enough about how much a delight this team was.

Boat Shoes were on, as well as their thinking caps! 🧢 They beat Part 1 with time to spare, and got started on Part 2. We cannot WAIT for their return to ring the bell! 🔔 See you again Boat Shoes!
