- Rikki Walden4 contributionsBournemouth’s Wild WestThis was a really great way to spend an evening with friends! If you’re looking for something different then I would recommend this. We visited the Bournemouth Escape Hunt to celebrate a friend’s birthday and really enjoyed the Wild West themed room. Loved the decor, the story and the general experience and would be keen to try more rooms now! It was a novel way to “escape”for a hour or so! Katie was great as our host and it would be a pleasure to have her guide us again.Howdy there! We are so glad to hear you enjoyed your adventure in our Escape the Wild West room and that Katie was great help! We will be sure to pass on your kind words to her!

Played the Aladdin room with friends. Great facilities and quality of the furnishings. Mostly great puzzles that required some thinking so not to be too easy and boring, but some puzzles which were a little odd and didn't seem to follow any logic - even when we had to ask for help.
Would play again with friends, but not really affordable/worthwhile doing as a family which is a shame ( would be almost £100 for an hour when you can get a whole day out for this elsewhere).
Minus one star for some long delayed reactions to getting puzzles right - which is frustration when you're playing against the clock!

It was really cool, great decore but some issues, some boxes/draws didn't pop open so had to go around touching them all to see if they had unlatched. A picture in the little door was unrecognizable and needs replacement. For £100 (4 people) I would like better for the money, it's very expensive!

We loved our experience at Escape Hunt. We completed the pharaoh room, and it was great fun. Katie out host was amazing, enthusiastic and helped us out (too many times than we'd like to admit!!) We would definitely be back to try another room if we were locals. The only reason why we dropped a star is because of the drinks prices. We had a 330ml of diet coke and a 330ml lager and it came to £9! The prices weren't advertised anywhere and if we knew the price, we wouldn't have bought them. Other than that, it was great.

A bit reluctant to start with as I am claustrophobic. Although the others were so keen. It was not bad at all and such a good experience. Kyle was really good and gave us soo much information felt very comfortable throughout the game. Such a good experience which you need try.

The adventure was well planned with enough to do for everyone and the difficulty was well pitched, we did need a bit of help but overall enjoyed the game and found everything we needed to in the time required. Cowboy Kyle let us struggle for a bit without chipping in to early, his accent was a blast!
My only point would be that the room was a bit small for six and the lighting was a bit low. Apart from that I would definitely recommend.

I done Aladdin as a team of 4, our GM was Joe. He was fun, enthusiastic and done a great job hosting the game as well as giving the starting briefs and introductions. The room itself was well decorated, the puzzles were fun and well thought out and challenging which is what you want from an escape room. Overall, great experience- would definitely visit again!

We did the Wild West escape room. Was super fun. Loads of mini puzzles to complete to open padlocks and collect the gold. Two boys aged 11 and 13 loved it too and could be fully involved. Courtney was our guide and she was great! Shame it’s so expensive so can’t do it all the time.

Did the wild west themed room. We have done many escape rooms in the past, and this one was not good!
The host was very laid back and didn't really engage with us.
We spent a lot of time on a certain aspect of this room, which we could not seem to work out. We escaped the room with and 12 minutes to spare. We asked the host about the aspect we had spent ages on, to which he said you get the key to the draw out of that, to which we said the draw was already open . He said oh one of my colleagues must have been playing "silly buggers"
So the room has not been set up properly, and im sure he wasn't paying full attention to what we were doing in the room as otherwise he would have noticed this. Also, certain things opened at random points long after we had completed puzzles, so he couldn't have been paying attention.
This had a massive downer on the game.
We have done other rooms here and they have been good. There are loads of other esacpe room places in Bournemouth so check them out first before going here, as this certainly isnt the best around here.

A challenging first room with clues difficult to solve. Took us, a group of 4 about 25 minutes, but once through the clues became more traditional and we made good progress eventually escaping in 46 minutes. Well worth a visit if you want a challenging hour or hopefully a bit less. Our host Courtney was excellent and kept us focused when we asked for hints. (About 4).
