Great escape rooms, excellent staff!
May 2023 • Friends
Really fun escape rooms with different levels of scare, physicality and difficulty. We did the Missing escape room which was one of the easier ones but it was still good fun. The staff were really friendly and welcoming and looked after us the whole time we were there! I would definitely recommend and can’t wait to go back and try another room!

Good Escape Room experience
May 2023
Nicely set up, some good puzzles that we hadn't seen before and well themed rooms. Gamesmakers were a little too keen to give clues at the start but very friendly and nice. We'd recommend Jailbreak.

An amazing escape room
Apr 2023 • Couples
My partner and I did The Haunting room at Escape Kent and it was incredible! He had never done an escape room before whereas I’d done a few but we both felt challenged, and completed the room with 8 minutes to spare! Meg was our host and did an absolutely amazing job at creating atmosphere and making us feel safe in the room. Would highly recommend - and we can’t wait to go back!

Great entertainment - excellent staff.
Apr 2023 • Family
Outstanding stuff. This is the first escape room any of us had done, but it was absolutely brilliant. We did it as a family of four - with our kids aged 8 and 11. They loved it and were able to figure out a number of the puzzles themselves. Highly recommended.

Kidnapped
Feb 2023 • Family
Myself, partner, son and his girlfriend took on the "kidnapped" escape room and what an amazing experience it was 😁. Worked very well as a team.... And managed to escape with 31 seconds left!

aim to return soon to take on the "haunted" room

Very highly recommended ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I am a big fan of all the games I’ve played here and the staff. Everything comes together to make a great experience.
In a group of five, we did ‘The Haunting’ and it was bloody brilliant. It was a great balance of separate puzzles and bigger tasks. The set is amazing and you never quite know what’s coming next. Of course I screamed.
I really like the staff: everyone I spoke to was so nice and helpful. The room masters are so great at creating the vibe before going into the room. Shout out to Meg! Thank you for our recent experience!

We made it!
Nov 2022 • Friends
Not butchered!!

Did the “kidnapped” room as part of a work function. 4 of us. Most have watched Dahmer on Netflix so we were a bit scared…! We made it out with a few minutes to spare, handy hints thrown in when we needed them, really challenging, well thought out room! Highly recommended and we will return and try another!
The staff here were all very friendly and helpful and want to make the experience as good as possible for all! They really love their jobs and it was great fun!! Thanks guys!
