⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Unforgettable Birthday Adventure at Escape Live Birmingham!
I wanted to do something truly unique to celebrate my daughter’s 21st birthday, something more memorable than the usual meal or night out. After a bit of searching, I discovered Escape Live Birmingham, and I’m so glad I did! With an impressive variety of escape rooms on offer, we opted for the Dr Watson Room, not realising at the time that it’s one of their most difficult five-star challenges! We were advised to arrive 20 minutes early, which gave us time to park up, plenty of nearby car parks and very reasonably priced. As we approached the venue, we were immediately struck by the character of the building itself, beautifully presented and full of atmosphere. The welcome we received from the staff, Jay, Mark, and Rob, was second to none. They were warm, enthusiastic, and genuinely passionate about making our experience fantastic. Being complete escape room novices, we were a little nervous, but Jay quickly put us at ease, walking us through the basics and getting us set up. After a quick waiver and briefing, Mark led us to the room and set the scene, immersing us in a thrilling, Sherlock-style mystery with just 60 minutes on the clock to crack it! Without spoiling any of the surprises (because trust me, you want to discover them for yourself), I’ll just say the room was brilliantly designed, clever puzzles, intricate details, and a truly immersive storyline. It was extremely challenging, but once we unlocked the first clue, our confidence soared and we were hooked! After our exhilarating attempt to escape, Rob welcomed us back to the lounge area, which was tastefully decorated and incredibly cosy, the perfect place to unwind with snacks and drinks while we chatted about the experience. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, planning a team-building activity, or just looking for a fun and intellectually stimulating outing, I couldn’t recommend Escape Live Birmingham more highly. We had an absolute blast and are already planning our next visit. A huge thank you to the incredible team — Jay, Mark, and Rob — for making my daughter’s birthday so special. Five stars all the way!
