What Customers Say
We had a blast at moviESCAPE Stockport! It was our work Christmas celebration and for seven of us our first time in an escape room. It was so much fun and was more challenging than expected, which was good and it felt like we'd achieved something when we escaped.
K was a great host. Really engaging and helpful, only giving clues when it was clear we desperately lost (which happened a lot.) The room was fun and creepy with a few nice jump scares. Great puzzles - overall fantastic experience!
The work and effort that goes into creating these rooms is mind blowing!
