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
Went here for a hen party! Amazing staff especially Hannah and Jack! Nothing was too much trouble! Extremely accommodating for a bunch of rowdy women! Would definitely go again 🙂
My partner and I are escape room mad - this was our first room from this company and we will be returning! Room and puzzles were created perfectly and the staff were amazing!
Fabulous escape game and great atmosphere. The group really enjoyed their time there and the opportunity to experience something new.
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
Four of us did our first escape room together and it was great! The right mix of scary and clever. We managed to escape with a couple of minutes to spare. The bar area and games for before and after are also good. Would definitely go back to try one of the other rooms.
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
Very good experience, went with my friends, very good value for money. The staff was brilliant and I shall be back in the near future.thank you to Lucy, beth, Cory,Ellis and Olivia
Olivia was brilliant! Very good escape room experience. Although the virus identification was super hard!
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
Loads of fun, great hosts, scary at times but really well done. The bar is also really nice with N64 games!
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
We escaped the room with a minute to spare. We had a great time thanks to Hannah and Connor who were the staff members that looked after us it truly was a great experience but we were scared sh*tless thanks guys x
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
Had such a fab time at the great escape! Ellis was particularly fab!will definitely be back for more fun
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
Ellis who was looking after us was fabulous and we made it out of Submerged! Ace day! Really fun game and really challenging.
Had a brilliant time and our host Ellis was fantastic! Will definitely return and win again. Lots of complex puzzles that really make you work as a team.
Had a blast at the great escape game playing submerged. Also managed to nail it, great success! Ellis was an amazing host and would definitely recommend!!!
Played outbreak and it was great, cocktails were lovely and the staff are amazing. Big thanks to Cory, Ellis and Beth!
We visited for a family birthday celebration, we all loved the experience! Great birthday present. And thankyou to Cory for being a great host!
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!
Did both Outbreak and Submerged for a friends Stag do. Booking was super easy, games were super fun and staff are the nicest. I've visited multiple times before and always had a great experience. Special mentions for Beth, Cory and Connor Y who looked after us. You're the best!
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
I went to the escape room yesterday with two friends and we were not disappointed. The game ‘Alcatraz’ was perfect for three people and Connor who talked us through everything was amazing and very friendly. The game was so much fun and we will definitely be back!!
This was an epic day really enjoyed it, staff were really nice and helpful we had Beth and she was great
Had a great time in this escape room. Came with a group of friends. Corey was a fantastic host and helped us when we were struggling. Fantastic time and HIGHLY recommend to anyone wanting a fun escape room to do!
Done a few escape rooms with my friends found somthing diffnt in sheffield and thought would give it a go it was great alternative night with are friends. Deferntly be back again 🙂 Thanks Cory for being a great host.
After running late due to going to the wrong venue Cory quickly got us into the room after a quick/funny brief intro to the Outbreak game. Throughout the game she was helpful and funny, offering some advise and extra drinks that she had mixed.
Had a great time - really fun and enjoyable! Cory was really friendly and made sure we had a great time!
Thank you so much to Lucy and her team for hosting us. The submerged game was brilliant and the pizza afterwards was lovely (and much needed!). Looking forward to seeing you again later this month.
Great experience. Beth was amazing. We did abducted and it was really good, best escape room I've been too. The staff are super friendly and the game kept us on our toes!
It was fun but a bit freaky and the employees were very helpful and kind especially Cory. They were really nice when one of my friends had a panic attack and they were really hospitable.
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
Amazing game - loads of fun. Cory was lovely and made us feel really welcome! Had a great time, will definitely come again.
Really enjoyed playing homicide 2.0 would highly recommend managed to escape for the first time ever! But couldn’t have done it without Cory and jack!
Was very fun! Managed to escape too within the time limit even though we had no clue what we was doing! Had a great lady named Corey with us and she was great!!
We escaped Alcatraz (with a little help!) Thank you for a fab experience Nassia! Already looking at our next escape! Enjoyed our pizza and cocktails after too. Great experience.
We played the submerged escape room as two couples and had an awesome night. The game was great as was our host, Olivia. We would recommend this to anyone looking for a great night out.
We played run with Lucy who took great care of us all Great experience for all the family from start to finish. We will definitely be back Thankyou
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
Shelly & Sam were awesome - really great experience for student housemates. Would definitely visit again.
Thanks to Cory and the team for a great escape room experience. Team Werewolves of London rides again 🐺🐺
Very Very fun. More fun than Leeds anyway. Ellie and Cory were great. Team werewolves of London. Peace
Staff were nice. Ellis, Corey, Kate, Beth, jack. Cheers guys Did the devils escape room and it was good
Great day but we were too stupid to get out. Really only works with 3 people on this experience. Definitely go back and do another experience.
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
Cory was absolutely amazing, great experience had will definitely be back, had a photo op at the end with capes was brill. Very patient with us and upbeat loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely amazing. Escaped with time to spare. Cory was amazing, Mever been to an escape room before. will 100000% be coming again.
Amazing game, company and staff! Cory was lovely!! We played the mad scientist game! Would definitely recommend!!!
Had such a fab time in the submerged themed room today. Cory helped alot with helping us to escape. Even with the game broken Cory was able to assist us to get out. I would definitely recommend this to anyone considering a day out with friends or family
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
This was such an amazing experience, not only do they have the escape games but they gave gin and retro games available too! I plan to come back here for my hen do !!
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
Brilliant escape from Alcatraz. Cory was very helpful, fun and friendly!! Would highly recommend!! Thanks
Went into the abducted escape room, was really good and scary, especially the start. Staff are great as well such as Cory, Beth, Sam and Kate
Thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Great Escape Sheffield . Found the mad scientist was an interesting room to play. Our Gamemaster Jack was really friendly and explained things fully which made our experience even better, would defintely recommend!
Did the abducted escape room with some friends and we all loved it. The staff was really friendlg especially Cory,Beth,Sam and Kate. Thank you for a great experience
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
Great time for a family day out.We had a lot of fun and our 10 year old son has enjoyed it. We do recommend it and we will be back soon. Staff is very friendly and helpful especially Cory.
I really enjoyed the mad scientist escape room, especially the hand cuffs. Really cool and would recommended to anyone. Shout out to Cory.
Had a great time with my friends, smashed the mad scientist room, but still pretty hard Would try out the other rooms in the future Cory is the best
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
I booked this as an event to end our annual leadership day. Fabulous venue!! Great staff!! Great for corporate team building & shared experiences. Will also considering doing this with friends & family. A really relaxing & fun environment. Thank you to Beth for hosting!!
5 star experience was such a laugh with our friends and Ellis was amazing helping us all the way through will definitely be coming back !
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've done the Alcatraz and the Mad Scientist one's and they were both very good. We had Cory for our run and she was very friendly and a good host.
Fun room, the attendant Cory was very friendly and made the whole experience 10x better! Went with a group of 6 of us and had a blast!
Cory was great the game was fun. Good for 6 people. Would be better for 4 people. Good for groups. ..
We’ve been to the great escape rooms in Sheffield, the most amazing experience. Abduction was made realistic and heart racing. Cory helped throughout the experience and made everything really exciting. I will definitely be returning.
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
Love how much this place has grown over the years and deservedly so! It's an ideal place for group of people looking for something fun + different activity to usual, and definitely one for the bucketlist 🙂
Ellis was amazing had such a great time! We got out with 4 mins to spare and beat who we was competing with !
Would absolutely recommend, if you’re looking for abit of terror, a mental challenge and excitement this will not disappoint! thanks Cory, very helpful and friendly - see you again soon! !
Wow what a great experience! Me and three friends played the abducted game. We all had a good laugh even if we were secretly scared. Cory who works at the great escape games Sheffield was fantastic and made the experience even better. Can’t wait to come back and try another game.
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
We just played abducted, What a game!!! The experience was really good i’d recommend it to all my friends can’t wait till the next room. Cory was brilliant and made the game more realistic.
We escaped which always makes a room more fun (with a bit of help from Nassia). Definitely worth checking out!
I came alone. Massive thanks to Cory for all her help in making me so comfortable, safe and secure. Perfect way to commiserate after a funeral.
Oh what a dayyyy!!!! The most welcoming and friendly staff! So much fun and the game abducted was probably the best escape the room game I've been to so far! Totally recommend!!! Beth! Buff! Connor! Sam! You guys have made my night!
Visited Gen2 on a hen do to do Submerged, and it was incredible! The venue is looking amazing, and shout out to Cory who was super helpful, and made our trip so easy! 🎉
Cory was our game master amazing game really enjoyed it would definitely recommend it we went for our friends hen do such a good laugh!
Loved the submerged game! We visited as part of my hen do and it was so good. Cory was the game master and she was so lovely. Made sure we all enjoyed ourselves! Thanks everybody!
It was an amazing experience, always kept you on your toes! Cori & Connor were extremely helpful & friendly, making the experience so much better!
Had an incredible time in the Run game for Rosie’s hen do - Beth was so enthusiastic and made the experience even better for us 👌🏼 Out in 41m 💁🏻♀️
Olivia and Cory both great, outbreak game was cracking. Nice cocktails and interesting puzzles, good stag do activity.
Great abduction with Cory! Would highly recommend. Well done Cory for such excellent service. Will come again soon!
Great fun at the Great Escape for a Stag do. Cory and Olivia were fantastic hosts. Would recommend!!
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
Been here a few times and really enjoyed it, alot of fun. We escaped somehow ☺ will be coming again!
Thank you so much to Beth for helping us getting the most out of our escape room experience - we came as a hen do and had an absolute ball. The team gave us a warm welcome and I would definitely love to come back! Thanks for having us!
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
Have played a few games at the Great Escape and it’s a must-do in Sheffield! Have played placebo, homicide, abducted and submerged.....great atmosphere, great staff and all-round fantastic facilities!
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
We went for a friend’s hen do and had a great time! The staff were very professional and welcoming. They clearly informed us of the instructions etc and made us feel at ease as we hadn’t been before. Although we didn’t escape, we had a fab time! Will definitely be returning again soon!
It was a really fun and challenging ! The staff are really friendly It was a great first escape room Loved it
Escape game virgins, sooooooo excited! Great location, games to entertain whilst we waited - and accommodated acheeky drink beforehand 😁😬 💃🏼💃🏼Ellis 💃🏼💃🏼made special aperol spritzers taste ace 🥳🥳🥳. She’s also great at turning on ovens for our pizza fest which
We visited on a works do and did the abducted room. We screamed, laughed and had the best time! We stayed for pizza and drinks as well. The game was really clever.
No we didn't crack the code, but was very close. A good fun start to the evening, 3 couples in total.
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
Once of the best immersive escape rooms I've been too. I regularly take my team to these kind of events for team building exercises and such and none come close to 'The Great Escape' highly recommended!
We've done few escape rooms now and this is one of the best room in Sheffield. 4 of us played Alcatraz for my partners birthday. We was met by a Daventry who explained what we needed to know. Not going to give out spoilers but a great time solving puzzles. Recommended
I went with so e of my friends on a hen do and enjoyed it so much! the rooms were well thought out and so realistic. would recommend to everyone.
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
We managed to complete Alcatraz, our host was great and helpful and it's good fun once you start. Bit of a wait at the beginning but apart from this, can't fault. We will be back to try out some new rooms!
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
I went with my daughter and we decided to have a go at the detective/murder mystery game. This was a brilliant experience and a little different to some of the break out experiences I have done. We had good fun and we escaped in time thankfully. Not for the faint hearted.
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
Loved it!! 6 of us played Abducted (3 couples) and we had such a laugh. Terrifying but real good fun. Especially the pictures the games masters took 🔪 😂 thank you to Ellis our gamesmaster for making us nearly wee ourselves with fright/laughter!!
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
A great experience to enjoy with friends and family. Such imaginative ideas- definitely the best place I’ve been to for escape games. Tried 4 of the rooms now and will be back again!
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 came as a family, enjoyed the entire experience. As the clock ticks down & you’re still searching for the final clue(s - in our case!) it was nail biting. Better than sitting at a computer screen or slumped in front of the TV!
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
We did the Run escape game and really enjoyed it! The staff are unbelievably friendly and made us feel so comfortable and welcomed! We recommend trying it!
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
Ive done most of the rooms. This is definately a go to for anyone. Love the staff and the rooms (especially in the new building) are so good. 100% come over and over again
Went in for a post cinema trip and was very impressed by the service and general experience. Just the right level of difficulty and challenge and plenty of enjoyment. Would definitely recommend.
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
My friends and I came here for one of our birthdays and did the ‘Abduction’ game. Clues were really tricky and we needed help however the overall experience was so fun and we got pizza at the end of it which was really good. All really enjoyed it and would definitely try more games.
We hired out the room for a networking event. What a great and different venue! Great food and drinks provided and feedback from guests was all positive!
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’ve done a few escape rooms here - all of them have been great! Devils playground was a firm favourite! Great features and effects
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
To feed our unhealthy obsession with escape rooms whilst spending a short break at Alton towers we travelled to Sheffield to play. Despite being 500 miles away it was a very immersive experience and would recommend to anyone who wants to play.
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
We had such a laugh trying to crack the clues and working as a team. We were so close! Gets you thinking and stressed out ha! I would recommend to go with friends.
Tones of fun. Great for team activity. Can be enjoyed by almost anyone. Would certainly go back. Also good for friends or family.
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
Although this venue is a little tired and could do with some TLC it's not a bad way to spend an enjoyable couple of hours. You get locked in to a series of rooms and have to solve clues to escape. It's time limited
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
Great selection of challenging games , staff were fun and friendly, good food and drinks , it was a great evening and already looking forward to another game
Staff where welcoming and friendly. Didn’t give too much away which adds to the suspense of the whole game. We played Abucted which personally I find terrifying! But also great great fun. Can’t thank staff enough. Had a fabulous time!
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)
Did the Submerged version for my daughter's hen party weekend. Rather difficult and we didn't quite manage it in the allotted time but we still really enjoyed the whole experience. Had pizzas afterwards. Would thoroughly recommend.
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
Went with three friends to do ‘Abducted’. It was such a great experience that afterwards we decided to do another room too, ‘Submerged’. Abducted is amazing, so immersive and the live actors are great. It really makes you feel like you’re in the scenario. The room itself is excellent, very
Excellent game - challenging. We were a party of six so you need a few people to help escape. Staff very friendly. This was our second game and we shall definitely be going again especially for the new game that is coming soon !!!!
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
We really enjoyed our visit here, the staff were really accommodating! Loved the mix of escape rooms, video games, board games, food and cocktails!
Really enjoyed the game, was a good challenge and very well thought out. Disappointed that there is no prize for actually escaping, a t-shirt or something would have made it all the better.
Great fun! Worth the price. Would definitely recommend! The staff were very friendly and helpful. Be warned, quite scary!
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
Just completed the submerged game and would highly recommend it! The venue is fresh and new and the decor in the bar area is fab. The staff were very welcoming. A special thanks to Heather who was really friendly and helpful
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
went with a few friends for a birthday party and was excellent, really fun puzzles. trigger warning for suicide on the saw based room though, just a warning
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
Visited TGE for my husband’s birthday on a very quiet Sunday evening. George was our guide & he was an absolute star !! We were completely rubbish at the game, but it was brilliantly done & would highly recommend it !!
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 are regulars at the escape rooms and at the great escape you get a fantastic experience. I even appreciate the fact that the staff try and give you a flavour of the experience by putting on accents and trying to scare you. A nice touch.
All enjoyed it , ages 9-15 all the enjoyed and enjoyed it Played mad scientist But felt need to come straight home and shower !!
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
Its great fun, it’s fantastic, its brilliant, its awesome, it’s amazing, it’s magnificent, it’s hilariously funny
Great day, the staff were fun and clearly enjoy what they do. Definitely the best escape room we have done and we will be back to try the others
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
Great team building experience with friends. Submerged was great to play against others and added an extra dimension to the game. Friendly, welcoming staff and pizza was a nice touch after.
A great activity for a group of family and friends ranging from teenagers to people in their forties.
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
3rd time I’ve been to the escape games in sheff. Loved it. Screamed loads (proper scardy cat) staff we’re friendly. Quick service at the bar, easy to find. The game was challenging but fun. We smashed it of course with 4mins to spare! Would defo recommend!!!
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
The staff were great, really friendly. We had a good laugh!! And a few screams playing abducted. Loved it although we were rubbish at solving the riddles haha.
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
Great time had by us all from green watch, Telford fire station. Great idea for a Xmas do and some attempted team bonding.
One of the scariest games ever and certainly got your pulse going but so well worth the experience. Would highly recommend and will be back for another game. So clever how each room is done
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 did abducted with three other friends and I loved every minute of it. It's thrilling and the puzzles were great! Would 100% recommend to anyone that's not too easily scared!
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
We went with another couple who had paid for it as a Christmas gift. It was well organized and really good fun.
Had a brilliant night, very friendly staff who gave nothing away! the game was very puzzling and you definitely feel like you're really in that situation. Highly recommended!
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
The Submerged game was great fun, I loved every second. The morning was well run and the venue is perfect for the family friend get together we were having. I would definitely recommend and will be returning to try the Abducted room! Thank you to all the staff.
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.
Submerged game - very good but a couple of the padlocks were very difficult to open, seizing up a bit. Otherwise a 5 star rating.
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
Love the generation 2 venue. The staff could not have been more helpful. Our whole group had an amazing time going head to head on Submerged -thankyou!
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
Just been an done the placebo room... great game, lovely staff (Connor). Really recommend it if you’re looking for something different to do! We will definitely be back!
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
Enjoyed the game as part of a work Christmas treat. It was brilliant. I would certainly recommend this to friends.
