Woodbury Escape Rooms

Try not to scream...

‘ LEAPER’ IS THE fourth of Woodbury’s rooms, and the highest on their ‘Difficulty’ and ‘Fear’ scales. Buoyed by recent escape successes, our team decides to take it on. The concept is brilliant: we’re detectives in the future who can ‘leap’ into the minds of criminals using experimental crime-fighting technology. The only problem is, if we don’t get in and out in 60 minutes, we could stay trapped in his mind forever. The four of us are blindfolded and led, sweaty palm to palm, into the room. The timer begins, the blindfolds come off, and we realise that we’ve been separated into teams of two in separate room. Quickly, it dawns on us that to be reunited, we’re going to have to solve puzzles by yelling verbal instructions to each other. Once we find our way out and into the next room, we realise that things are only going to get scarier. It’s one thing to fill a space with creepy props and fake blood; it’s another to create genuine, heart-stopping tension. Leaper packs plenty of horror movie freak-out moments (always when you least expect them), and cleverly saves some of the biggest reveals until last. As far as escape rooms go, ‘Leaper’ is the biggest adrenaline rush we’ve had yet. Try it, if you dare.
