Me and three friends have now been 3 times, done the Homicide, Run! and Devils Playground rooms. They are all so well thought out, the actual rooms (especially at the 2nd gen site) are so immersive and the right balance of scary! The staff are always so helpful and friendly - special thanks to Ellis

I booked the function room and Outbreak experience at the generation 2 location for my girlfriends Birthday and it was amazing. Massive thank you to all the staff, you were brilliant. They helped me plan the day weeks before, and on the day they made sure the room was decorated and constantly chec

We had an amazing time at the escape room! As a group of 6 we chose to do the devils playground, prior to the room the hosts made us feel nervous (in a good way) and excited. The first 10 minutes was pretty spooky but then our nerves calmed down, we managed to escape with a few minutes to spare and

We played Devils playground and expected it to be scary with the build up/hype but, without spoiling it, the start is amazing and gets you immersed into the room but after thst its not too scary and with there only really being like 7/8 things to open its quite straightforward. I just expected it to

We did the Abduction room which is the worst one and is rated 18+. If you're a jumpy person, I would not advise doing this particular room as it's quite intense. The actors and people who run it are fantastic. Good location and in walking distance from most places! The description of this room on th

This is just a great place to be. First of all there good parking for those that drive. Next. When we arrived we were grated by a great guy by the name of jake who was a great host, he walked us through the layout and told us we could play on all the free games and have a drink as we were early. We

The devils playground was our first time doing an escape room and we really enjoyed it. The room was set out in a clever way and very atmospheric. Me and my friends all enjoyed it although we was very scared by Connor the clown. ( but to be fair it was funny) all the staff were lovely especially Con

A nice place, very friendly staff at reception of our game and were even able to start our game earlier than planned. Clear game instructions and a great theme to the room. Difficulty level was medium to hard I would say for the Devils playground although we did escape. Connor was very pleasant and

First time visit to Gen 1 homicide room, with a family of 4, we were slightly delayed upon starting due to a breakage within one of the rooms that they had to fix which was explained to us. Connor was our Gamemaster and he explained the room prior to going in, he was at hand to give assistance when

6 of us did the Submerged challenge at the Great Escape Room in Sheffield and loved it. Well designed and thought out. Not scary at all which was good for our party. The staff were all great, Kate, Beth, Nassia and Jess(I think! Hope I got all the names right!) they looked after us from start till

Did the Outbreak cocktail based room on Vicar Lane site. Such a fun puzzle based escape room and Cory was an amazing host! Always checking if we needed any help and offering us a bar menu after we finished the challenge. Lots of laughs! 3/4 drinks each with a group of 4. great value!

A brilliant time in th Homicide Room. There were 4 in our team and we needed everyone. The challenges were many and the solutions hard won. But we succeeded in escaping with a minute and a half to spare PHEW! Cannot recommend this venue highly enough. Connor, Gamesmaster and staff member was really

Took all the staff from work for a team event and it didn’t disappoint, great games, quite tricky but great team work needed. The staff members from booking (Lucy and Beth) to the Game master Sam couldn’t be friendlier and more helpful. I highly recommend both the submergered game for team work

We went to Sheffield great escapes centre as a birthday treat for one of the family. The game we chose was one where you had to get out of a submarine. It was a team game and you were up against the clock of a rival team. If you are competitive in nature then you will love this. It’s not easy an

Great setup and really helpful and friendly staff (Beth). I were there with work and I thought that it would be like some cringworthy HR "role play"... However was nothing of the sort - totally absorbed for the 46 mins it took us to escape. Was buzzing afterwards , especially as the "managers" in th

Highly recommend the great escape game Sheffield! Me, my partner and our friends did “The Devils Playground” and loved it! Was scared at first but once inside we loved it, was quite tricky and had to ask for help a few times but we escaped only 3 minutes over our time! Our game masters cory, bet

I went here with my family for my 18th birthday and couldn’t be more pleased. All the staff were welcoming and helpful and made the experience 10x better. The experience itself is hilarious and without a doubt will be going back once I get the chance. A special thank you to Lucy D for organising t

This company are amazing it's not just an escape room you have loads going on!! Theres mini game you can play between rooms,food and a bar😁 we did 4 rooms here submerged,run,the devil's playground and abducted and the time and effort that have gone in to there games are just outstanding!! Our gam

Cory was a sound manager. Chanted 'when we drink with...' as i had 2 Jager Bombs. Found out i like it rough when the Dr slapped me and choked me with their plastic knife. Had some rate fun and the staff are lovely. I was born in Blackpool and they deserve to go to pleasure beach, it's actually fate.

Me and my partner have played all the Gen2 rooms and we played our first Gen1 room yesterday (homicide). We thoroughly recommend The Great Escape, they are the best escape rooms we have ever played and we've done a few. Gen2 rooms are slightly better than Gen1 rooms and they have a nice bar/retro ga

We went to the great escape rooms with family and friends and we enjoyed this so much. We was greeted by a team member called ellis who was so facilating and welcoming from the go and who was so smiley and cheerful which made us feel happy and excited from the beginning.Throughout the visit we was m

we originally signed up for run but ended up doing devils playground. it was so scary but loads of fun! the people gave us drinks afterwards for the mix up and made the whole experience really great! Nassia was our game host and was super friendly and easy to talk too. will definitely be going again

We visited today with 4 boys aged 11 to play Run at escape. They all had the best time and begged to return. We were greeted on arrival by Connor Y who was great and very welcoming and couldn’t do enough for us. After there game we all had delicious pizzas which we chose from a large selection wit

Fantastic experience from start to finish booked the outbreak experience with a very helpful young lady called Lucy Davies talked me thru things I could buy extra we had cocktails and pizza ..The games were lots of fun and the staff were fantastic highly recommend the immersive bar experience absolu

Me and my friend have done a lot of escape rooms in the past, but this one was so thrilling, interesting and different! It was every, spooky and thrilling at the same time, and DEFINITELY true to its name and theme! We loved it and this room was easily one of the best we have ever done, even if it d

I honestly could not recommend The Great Escape Rooms in Sheffield enough. They have made my birthday event so entertaining and each of the members of staff are super friendly. Me and 5 others attended the ‘Abducted’ game which was amazing! The acting was spot on and all of my team had the best

Returned to do Submerged with a team of 9. Only two of us had done an escape room before so the others weren’t sure what to expect. Needless to say we had a brilliant time and everyone was talking about it for ages afterwards! As usual, the team at the Great Escape were very attentive and friendly

Our game master was Connor Y for the Devils Playground and he was brilliant, along with the game! I would highly recommend the Escape Room Sheffield to anyone! We are already planning on booking our next event there, with Connor recommending the Abducted game! Looking forward to the next game alread

This was our first ever escape room experience and we absolutely loved it!! The staff are amazing and obviously love what they do. The room was brilliant but definitely not for the faint hearted 🙂 as a group of mums who very rarely have opportunity to let our hair down we cannot wait to come back a

This was my fifth time visiting The Great Escape! I have been on a works doo, with family, as a couple, with friends, and again on a works doo! I couldn't recommend it more, I am determined to try each room, I cant wait until they make more!! Such a fun day out. Would highly recommend to anyone, any

I had done all of the rooms before with friends except their newest one (run!) and decided to take the team from work with me, they loved every bit of it! Some of us did run! And it was so different to any of the other rooms and the rest did submerged, everyone got really stuck in and both were grea

Made a trip to Sheffield with my partner and another couple who we typically go escaping with, and were not disappointed on our first visit to The Great Escape Game Sheffield's Gen 2 site. We arrived around an hour early for our booked escape, Run, to enjoy a cold beverage in the nicely set up bar

Recently attended the great escape to play the room 'abducted' and it was great! The staff, especially Dave was super helpful and made us feel totally at home in the bar and helped us with any questions we had while in the room. Abducted itself was great, though not as scary as some of the reviews

Just done the run escape room and, having done a few very good ones now this one was a little poor in comparison. Not the worst but a way off the best The lady who explained it to us was excellent but the game at 50 mins was a bit short. With 2 clues we made it out in 32 mins and we.arent that brig

Just completed our 4th escape room, managed to get out with a few minutes to spare! Really enjoyed the run game, love the puzzles and found the team on duty Sunday morning welcoming and friendly as with every visit we've had. Will book our next escape room soon, always great fun and would highly re

We visited here yesterday as a group of 4 who have done a fair few number of escape rooms. The room itself is very well decorated and impressive! The room is interesting and the split makes for an extra challenge. However, the story was lacking..the videos that appeared were random and did not foll

If you don’t know what an escape room is, google it. I’ve done a few, this was the best, without giving the game away and ruining it for everyone, what made this more fun was it felt more realistic and the staff really got you into the feel of the game. It doesn’t look good from the outside, I

My 12 year old daughter decidef to do this for her birthday. She chose Escape from Alcatraz. It lasts 45 minutes to crack the codes to escape each room. There are different games each with different levels of difficulty. Some games are also age restrictured due to theme. A different kind of experien

My colleagues & I came here for a team building day and we chose to attempt the Alcatraz escape room. This was a really fun exercise, the staff member who was introducing us blindfolded us and did some role play to start and then it was up to us. You can choose from some superpowers before you go i

We visited the Gen2 Building for a birthday celebration. Just a small group of 3 of us doing The Devils Playground. The building is great, love the bar and the games for while you wait. The Devils Playground concept is good, and was tense and scary at many points. However the affect quickly wore o

I went with my family and friends in 2 teams of 4 to do the submarine submerged escape room. 4 people felt perfect. Good communication is key, there was plenty for us all to do and we just escaped!! Had a few clues along the way. Difficulty was quite hard. The theme was brilliant, our favourite yet!

4 of us played Alcatraz for my partners birthday. Hardest part was finding the building lol, was met by Dave and was explained what we needed to know. Not going to spoil the room but we had a great time solving the puzzles and got out after 37 minutes. Really it enjoyed the room and will be back to

Went along with hubby and 2 teens and was originally booked in for Run but had to change to Devils playground due to a bit of a technical hitch but was not disappointed. Puzzles were tricky to solve and atmosphere was creepy with the lights going out every now and then accompanied by wailing and voi

What sort of “managing director” would cancel a works Christmas event just hours before they were supposed to be arriving. Knowing full well they would struggle to book somewhere else at short notice. Tried to do something nice for staff that work hard all year for it all to be ruined by lying

I fully recommend doing escape rooms here. I did my first ever escape room here and after doing escape rooms in several places, I always go back to this place. It's a very special place with tonnes of well planned and decorated escape rooms. I have so far done: Abducted,Run, Devils Playground, Homoc

I visited the escape rooms a couple of years ago while it was still located on Sidney street and had a really enjoyable experience. The new venue is even better with a bar and food available before / after the games, and board games that you can also play. The actual escape game was also really fun.

We've done a few of the different rooms at Great Escape and enjoyed them all until now. Firstly, I think consideration needs to be taken to close Gen 1. The building needs to be knocked down! Gen 2 is its shinier sister but still has its issues. It would be great to play some of the games out on the

We have done quite a few escape rooms and this was by far too easy as we had 20 minutes to spare! It's hard to understand how the escape rate on the website is only 50%! We chose to do 'Mad Scientist' and the first part started so well but then once in the room, you didn't need to use your brain too

I played Submerged in a group of 8 people. It was good in décor, with the lights and walls making it feel quite realistic. However, it really lacked substance. We chose this one because it would allow all of us together, but you are split into 3 tiny rooms with little windows between, so we didn'

We went this Saturday for abducted, I had put additional notes for the birthday person which was totally ignored, i even told them since we are traveling from London I really wanted the experience to be really good and unique but it turned out to be slightly disappointing. It was ok fear factor wise

Visited here today, the building needs a touch of TLC and was a bit grotty inside and cold. Also noticed when signing in on the tablets as I put my first letter for the email address.... Lots of other email addresses popped up (maybe needs sorting for Data Protection). Enthusiastic staff... Ish.

I came to The Great Escape with an open mind as I've been told previously it's the best in Sheffield. I booked the game "Homicide" with 3 other friends, it was very creative and exciting. The host Shelly kept us thinking and helped us whenever needed, she was lovely. The game was very cleaver and w

I played this room yesterday with my two friends. The decor in the room is great and makes it seem very realistic. We were each put in separate rooms with windows between them. We were each assigned different roles which gave us some independence whilst still working in a team. The room includes rea

I got this as a gift for my partner. We did Alcatraz and completed it in 42 mins. George was our Game master and put on a great show when he got into character. Lots of fun trying to work out how to escape. Would recommend to anyone wanting to try something new Next we would like to try Submerged

My first escape room and it certainly won’t be my last! The RUN room really makes you think and is engaging with fab sound/lighting effects. Perfect for groups or couples alike. The bar at the venue is reasonably priced and has a good range of soft and alcoholic drinks, as well as food on offer to

Never having been to an escape room before, we went with a family group of 5. Me and my husband as the two oldies, and our two sons and partner as the young ones. I was apprehensive, but there was no need to be. We had a fantastic time. We were in the Devil's Playground room in the Generation 2 site

I can thoroughly recommend the escape rooms here. I've done both versions of Alcatraz and Homicide rooms, and the Mad Scientist at the original site, and Submerged at the second site. The puzzles are set at the right level, and you can always get hints if you need them. Sad to have missed out on Pla

Having been to a lot of escape rooms, The great escape seems to be missing something. We have tried both the mad scientist and devils playground rooms and even though we escaped both we where still left underwhelmed. If you're new to escape rooms then they are a very good entry point but if you're e

Me and my fellow friends visited this establishment as a day out for a birthday, it was great fun. The staff were very helpful and made the experience more interesting! We enjoyed the tasks which we were set, and found it very interesting and challenging. Is a fun day out and think everyone should e

I've been to the Great Escape Game twice. The first time I played Submerged with work colleagues (this was at the Generation 2 site on Vicar Lane) and the second time I played Alcatraz with friends. The games were completely different and both excellent in their own ways. I would recommend both of t

We went here in my birthday. It was such fun and I would recommend it. It’s something different s exciting to do. Once you get over the initial shock/surprise and start using your brains to work out what you’re supposed to do the adrenaline kicks in, it’s quite an enjoyable experience. Take th

Had a really good time doing Abducted today, was a good genuine scare factor and is definitely not for light hearted people. All in all a very good time. The member of staff on the intercom was very helpful with hints when we were struggling and they were excellent at building suspense which had you

Having had this experience recommended to me, I had booked it as an activity for my sister’s hen do. We booked the Homicide 2.0 game on Sidney Street. The staff were friendly and ensured we were happy with everything to do with the game session. The atmosphere was set and off we went, solving clu

After trying out a few escape rooms in other cities decided to give this one a go and try Abducted which had a few surprise twist and turns which i won't ruin for others if you are yet to try it, it was a challenge but great fun to solve, at unexpected at times. The staff were friendly and welcoming

I've done a far few escape rooms now in lincoln, Manchester, notts and Sheffield, And this one is hands down the best one I've done, the quallity of the rooms is very high, sounds and lighting make it so immersive! We did "RUN" Which was ment to feel like we was stuck in a abanded orphanage in the

This is my second time doing a escape room in Sheffield, we has previously done Alkatraz!? and it was awesome. This time we did RUN.! The staff were all friendly on site and there plenty of games to occupy yourself with before the game starts, Cards against humanity is simply the best evening game a

Personally really enjoyed the experience, don't want this to sound like The Great Escape is not an awesome idea because it is. Despite it being quite tricky there was a lot of fun working out how to navigate a way to escape the room despite being to scared to think straight. The staff were super nic

3 of us just did the new 'Run' escape room and it was absolutely amazing! The puzzels, visuals and sound effects way surpassed my expectations. Im used to visiting escape rooms that are located in an old office room with a few bits of furniture and suit cases thrown in but we actually felt like we w

Have been to Gen2 twice now, and both times they were running around 40 minutes late. It seems they don't allow enough time for each team to escape and the resetting of the rooms. Either that, or they are just trying to get more money out of you by leaving you in the bar for ages. The two games I've

We managed to book a room last minute; the website was confusing, so we had to ring up and speak with the staff to check that there was a room free. The staff was warm and polite, when we arrived the place seemed pretty dead and they seemed happy to have something to do. The game was a good, nice l

We managed to escape from Alcatraz with two minutes to spare. It was a great experience. The staff were friendly, set the scene and we were off. It was challenging and you do need to engage the brain cells and work as a team. We enjoyed the challenge. The only criticism is that the toilets (Gents)

Hi we have just completed our third escape room and wanted to just say thankyou to all the staff for such a friendly, helpful and very well managed experience we've had at each room, they really came across as bubbly and encouraging, so full marks to you. We've done the placebo, abducted and yester

Been with my wife and kids today and was looking forward to a fun afternoon. The concept is great and we did enjoy it , to a certain extent , but the building is very tired and very cold. The actual room we were in , placebo , is in desperate need of an upgrade and honestly looks like it cost abou

We played Placebo. TGEG is a strange concept in its set up, in that you get "power ups" such as extra time, and a torch... now whilst these are novel and could be exciting had we not chose the "torch" option, we would have had a much harder struggle on our hands as part of the game was extremely da

These rooms were considerably better put together and atmospheric than others I have been to. The amount of detail on the sets is excellent and it certainly transported our team. I liked that it wasn’t all bits of paper and wasn’t all number padlocks and codes but that the puzzles varied greatly

George was a great host! We played Alcatraz 2.0 as it was recommended from friends and we enjoyed it so much we booked to play Homicide 2.0 also, both were great fun and very challenging however we managed to escape them both! Thanks for a fun afternoon. Would definitely recommend both games.

I have been here twice for a team night out with work and loved it both times. As a puzzle fanatic it really ticks all the boxes for me. The puzzles are well thought out and the staff aren't too stingy with helpful but not obvious clues when you get a bit stuck. It's very pricey but when you consid

We went to do Homicide 2.0 as a group of 4 (two couples) and had a great time. We have done many other games and found this one a good challenge, got out with just 2mins to spare. I don’t think the scare rating is correct as I felt this was not scary, but may have been for younger participants I g

Had an amazing time with two close friends (it was a great bonding experience). We were worried that a group of 3 would be too small but it wasn't at all. We did the Devil's Playground room which was really difficult and also pretty terrifying, but we managed to escape! Will definitely be heading ba

We came here a group of 6 to do Abducted. First of all the staff were very friendly and we were allowed a few drinks beforehand at the bar as we knew it would be quite scary. Well my friend was screaming she was that scared, I just found it funny. Once inside, it was difficult and we ended up escapi

As a group of 4 I was slightly concerned we were low on number as the previous great escape games we had gone in bigger groups but it wasn’t a problem at all. Devils playground was the 3rd game we have played with The Great Escape and what a brilliant game it was, fantastic props and such a clever

This was our first ever escape room so we didn't know what to expect. We booked the room for a family of 4 as a 50th Birthday surprise. We arrived 20 mins early as requested and were greeted by a friendly member of staff. We filled in the necessary forms and were taken up to be briefed on the ru

My friends and I did the Alcatraz escape room last night! It was some of our first time and it was a good laugh, Ellis who works there was amazing, she acted as our prison guard and set the scene. We were all scared, but WE GOT OUT!!! Can't wait to do the Abducted escape room in a few weeks. "All ar

I have always been very sceptical of escape room style games: What if it's too hard? What if it's too easy? What if I just don't get it? What if I don't enjoy it? What if we get out in no time at all? Surely it's too expensive for what it is? However, whilst passing through Sheffield, we decided to

This was our first time playing and we did the hardest and scariest one first; abduction. I can't give away any secrets or anything but I had so much fun! Our friend is a hard core horror fanatic and I'm well-a scaredycat. But I did this for my friend and I'm so glad I did. Even though I had my hear

We visited today as a group of 5 for a birthday. We booked to do Alcatraz which in hind sight may not have been the best idea with it been the most difficult one to escape from but none the less we had a great time ! -The building is literally 5 mins walk from Sheffield train station -The buildi

Went last week as a team of 2 for Alcatraz and it's challenging. I admit we failed But we did get pretty close for only 2 people. It was great go see how it all came together. We were lucky to book at last minute and be able to play. The building isn't in the best condition but the game room could

We played The Devils Playground (and escaped!!!) as a group of 5 friends with a varying experience of escape games. Some of us had done a couple at Sidney Street and the new location Generation 2 is very nice, we had free pizza afterwards and there’s a bar for relaxing/debriefing after. We also ha

A group of 8 of us tackled the submerged game on Saturday. Only one of us has done an escape room before so we pretty much had no clue. It was alot harder than we thought it would be. But it was good fun! The bar area is good, relaxed atmosphere with drinks, snacks and games on the table. The staf

I've now done three escape rooms but this was my first time in the gen 2 site. This building massively improved our experience as it is so much nicer to be able to sit in the bar while you wait. All staff are always amazing and friendly, couldn't ask for better service. The only think that could hav

Tried the Escape Room in Sheffield city centre as a change from just an afternoon of drinking with a group of friends, so glad we did it was very entertaining and made a nice change,staff were very friendly and explained everything clearly,it was very clean and tidy and glad to say we escaped,we hav

Room was really fun although we were told to leave the goggles on once we entered the room, the guy said nothing more, left the room and we were stood wasting time for a minute or so. Previously we were told when the right time was to take them off. Also, at the end we thought we’d made it out the

My first Escape Room although the kids had done a few. Alcatraz 2.0 is apparently a revamp on the previous game. We loved it. Got out with 4 mins to spare but it wouldn't have mattered if we hadn't (honestly). Staff were enthusiastic and helpful and made it a great experience. Managed to find a co

We played the Abducted game yesterday (and escaped - just!). It was fantastically put together with really good,challenging puzzles and tasks. I found it more linear that the Homicide game I'd done before with one clue leading to the next more logically and it followed the story narrative more full

We did Alcatraz, and as first timers we took time to warm up. The room is very challenging, but such fun. I loved the experience, the staff are helpful, but don’t give secrets away. I would recommend for families, team building with colleagues, and just a great night out with friends. Seriously am

Yesterday we visited the Vicar lane Escape Room and had a go at Submerged. What a hoot! (We were me, my husband and 15 yr old son & 12 yr old daughter). The cafe bar area with games is a great place to have a drink and natter before you get started on the game itself. The staff were terrific, and ma

So we did this for my brothers birthday, we did the horror room - glad I wasn’t wearing white trousers or pants. We escaped and worked as a team and had the best time ever. The game was challenging but fun and engaging. The staff were amazing and friendly, very welcoming and made the whole exp

I took my team and our client to the Great Escape for a Christmas joint team bonding/breaking event (12 of us total) to battle it out in the Submerged game. They are still raving about it now. Great fun, great venue, would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for an entertaining night out in Sheff

Tried out the two Gen 2 rooms Abducted and Submerged this week. Have to say these rooms have to be the two highest quality rooms our group has been to out of the almost a dozen we have been to so far. Staff were friendly and we will definitelly be dropping in again at some point to try out the new 2

Went recently with Work and had a blast. Great fun and really challenging and a giggle too. You can compete against other teams. We did the submerged room and was very hard. Would recommend starting with one of the easier level rooms but already planning our return to see if we can do better.

We’ve been a couple of times now to the first site and loved it. Booked the 2nd site for nye daytime and we were so impressed. Way better site, great to be able to have a drink and a chat when you’re there. Loved it!! Pizza too 🙂 Submerged is a great game. Highly recommend it! Very professio

Thoroughly enjoyed our escape room experience here (We did the placebo room). My friend and I were concerned about only being a team of two but managed to escape and had a great experience doing so. The staff were also excellent. 100% would recommend, we're already planning a return to do another ro

We were lucky enough to test the new room 'The Devil's Playground' and we loved it. The room was very cleverly set out with a mix of codes to crack and more active puzzles to solve. Lots of teamwork is required and there are lots of things for each team member to do! Great for a group of friends or
