We had a fantastic time at Escape Hunt Oxford. First time visit; we chose the pirate room. Really really good fun, and worked well for a group of 3 people. The puzzles were fun and was nice to get a few pointers when we got stuck a few times.

Would happily recommend this venue to everyone and we will definitely come back to try the other rooms.

Big shout out to our pirate helper, Richard. Super friendly & made it a great experience. Thank you!

Brilliant experience especially as it was an extremely last minute decision to play! Had such fun in the Alice in Puzzleland themed escape room! The "Cheshire Cat" host character (played by Alex) was such fun to work with helping us hints in a fun way!
We escaped with 5 seconds to spare!
Really fun experience! Definitely would come back!

It was our third visit to Escape Hunt Oxford and we had another great time, this one was Escape the Wild West. Our host was Alex who was helpful with the hints and added fun to the room. We tend to come for teenager birthdays as it’s an engaging experience for the parents and the kids alike. We cracked the room in 41 minutes and we were happy with that!

This was a great experience to have. Our host William was really nice and he had a VERY good posh accent when talking through the walkie-talkie! We did The Curse of the Pharaoh and my daughter has done several others. The atmosphere was great, really creepy and it made our spines tingle. The puzzles were hard but not too hard and even though some of the sound effects made you jump, it was all very fun and enjoyable. My daughter screamed when we were in the last room, but that was just the shock! Great for birthday parties and family outings. It is also a must do if you are visiting Oxford.
