Spent an hour Sunday morning in the Sherlock Holmes Escape Room. It was like we were in there for 10 minutes, the time just flew. A great host with just... read more the right amount of clues without giving too much away. Would recommend this when you visit Scarborough.
7 September 2020We booked the Secret Agent room last minute as something to do on our holiday and it was brilliant! Right from the beginning it felt very personal and welcoming -... read more and not as intense or corporate as others I have looked at. The clues were...More
28 July 2019We were one the first groups to try the new “crime of duty” escape room. Absolute brilliant time, so authentic, we all felt like proper detectives running around in... read more police vests, caps and even a gun (fake of course). You’ve got an hour to solve the case as the murders stack up. The pressure is on as you try to solve the clues to unlock various crime reports that will lead you to the murderer. As the minutes tick by and time begins to run out it becomes even more intense and you feel swamped by the amount of clues and evidence your trying to decipher until it all becomes clear (hopefully) and you can report back to your superiors whodunnit so that a swat team can be dispatched and arrest the killer. Brilliant time had by all.
16 May 2023Great Team work and a chance for a bit of Escapism! - As a group we rarely all get together and so it was important we did something as a team. This was such fun! From beginning to end the ‘escapism’... read more and scene setting was great. We really felt we had a job to do and we all worked together to solve the mystery and release Mr Roosevelt! Just in time too!! Highly recommended fun filled hour! We had so much to talk about after and thankfully we could bask in the glory of our escape!

29 April 2019We are experienced escape room campaigners and we thought we’d try this one just off the High Street. Very well set up for COVID with face masks etc and we... read more did the challenging and clever Russian spy room. It was difficult and we got out with 3 mins left, but the time flew as we tried to solve the clues, with just about the right amount of hints. Neil a very good host. There were a number of other rooms with plans to double that number again this year. Well set up and organised and we’d definitely go back.
6 August 2020Brilliant fun. Masterfully thought out games. Great for bringing a group of friends together. Was a talking point for the rest of the weekend. Highly recommended!

28 March 2019Had a very last minute game of Psychic. Probably my favourite escape room I've done, very interactive and a massive twist at the ends neither myself or my partner were... read more expecting. Couldn't recommend this place enough, definitely worth a game if you're in the area.

29 April 2019What an awesome experience! Visited the Terminating Here escape room. Easy to book online, did it on the same day. Current discount for keyworkers. Bonus! Host was fantastic, set up... read more was ace; a novel experience, something completely different to anything I'd done before. Love the setting! We just went as a couple and would have benefited from a couple of other players as we didn't manage to solve the murder but were oh so close! Would return to do a different room without a doubt.
14 August 2020My friends and I come to Scarborough every year and this year it was lovely to do something different. Some took the option to become wizards, others chose to... read more be detectives saving a girl from a serial killer. Both teams escaped and we all agreed...More

The room was very well thought... read more out and kept us on our toes we did manage to escape within the time.
The gent who ran our session was was lovely and friendly.

16 February 2023From the moment we walked in you could tell this was going to be good. Myself and 4 friends tackled terminating here. The chat before hand to set... read more the scene was done beautifully, and the room was amazing.
Standing on the platform of a tube station with locked suitcases, ticket machines, locked doors, a realistic train... absolutely amazing attention to detail.
Tricky clues and plenty to do meaning the whole team were constantly busy - which is often a problem with escape rooms.
We moved through it swiftly with only a few problems along the way. We got flustered at the end as we got a bit scared! But we solved the room with minutes to spare! Afterwards Neil let us have a peek in the other rooms, all looked amazing! Such attention to detail. I can't wait to come back and do them all!
24 February 2020Great place to visit whilst in scarborough, if you love escape rooms you will love the selection of rooms here and for a good price. Very friendly staff and good... read more waiting space downstairs for drinks, relaxing, lockers for stuff etc etc.
Would recommend and would come again.
Thankyou 🙂

We did the Psychic Escape Room involved wonderfully unique and meticulously thought-out challenges and tasks!
Fortunately, we managed to escape, and all members of our group thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. I would highly recommend trying this, especially if you want a fun challenge while in Scarborough!

Absolutely amazing, really good fun trying to figure out all the clues, managed to do it in the last second!

The host was very friendly and helpful, and explained that there had been... read more a few changes due to Covid-19 safety recommendations. However, this didn’t take away from the great experience we had. What a way to end your holiday...saving the world from the forces of darkness! Would definitely visit again and try a different room.
10 August 2020Booked to do Terminate Here. Our first room after lockdown and wanted to return to Mr E's after doing the Sherlock Holmes room last year. A really good set up... read more with great themes. The host is helpful but doesn't intervene unnecessarily. All in all, a great venue to pass an hour. We will definitely be returning to do more rooms.

We visited the escape rooms last weekend for my husbands 40th birthday, we were a mixed group of adults and children and it was the perfect family attraction for our... read more celebrations.
We booked two escape rooms and competed boys v girls, it was such fun and everyone got involved.
The staff were so friendly and made it fun for all.
Would definitely recommend and love to visit again.
10 January 2020Absolutely amazing time at Mr E Rooms, as always. The hosts are really friendly, the rooms have real character and a story behind them.
Thus time we did... read more the brand new The Pirate Mistry. I can not explain how much fun it was! A little bit different to the rooms we've done before......but I won't spoil it!
Loved it.

Great tips when needed. Highly recommended!
29 October 2020We did The Wizard's Quest whilst on holiday. It was a well organised and fun experience. The host was informative and engaging. Hand sanitizer was provided and masks worn so... read more it felt safe. The room was clearly set out and we managed to escape with 5 minutes to spare. We'll definitely recommend and will hopefully try the other rooms soon!
10 August 2020What a great experience we've just had. We had 16 people of all ages/abilities split between the wizard & war room. I was in the wizard room and, even though... read more wizards aren't usually my thing, I was engrossed from start to finish. The amount of thought and detail that has gone into the rooms/themes is amazing. The host was really engaging and explained instructions really clearly before we started, whilst keeping it funny and light hearted enough for the younger ones. We all had a great feeling of accomplishment when we solved the room. It was definitely a highlight of our break away.
10 April 2022A brilliant time was had assisiting Sherlock Homes. There was so much to do it was a challenge and was thoroughly entertaining. The atmosphere was built from the moment we... read more entered the building and the room itself was really well designed and added so much to the experience. We have done excape rooms before and this is probably the best. We will return to try some of the other rooms 🙂

Absolutely fabulous. We have done an escape room before at another venue but this one was far better. We did the Pirate ship Mistry and it was amazing. There will... read more be no spoilers here!!

15 November 2019This is the fourth time we’ve been to the Escape room (obviously a different room each time) and none have disappointed. First class. If you haven’t been, make sure you... read more do, you’ll love it.

7 May 2019Neil was a friendly and helpful host with our Madame Gazunda escape room today.
The room was set up properly and we had a few guiding nudges... read more when we were either getting stuck or were going off track. There were a variety of different types of locks and puzzles to complete in the time available.
We were pleased to crack the puzzle with just 23 seconds to spare...it has an unusual and funny ending but I won't give the game away!
An enjoyable activity and would be happy to recommend to others.

Went with my 13 year old daughter and did the terminating here room, was great and we both fully enjoyed it, can't wait to visit the other games
24 November 2019Really enjoyed this! We went with a group of 8, aged 11-50 and we all really enjoyed it. Great clues and suited everyone’s skill sets. We didn’t break the code... read more but we still had a great time trying.
12 February 2020I came with my sisters and Mum today where we did the Psychic room.

This was easily the best room we have ever done with some very unique ‘think outside the box’ puzzles. From the moment we came in, the host was very welcoming and explained everything so well.
We absolutely loved it from start to finish, full of mystery, surprise and psychic themed action! We couldn’t stop laughing and it really made us jump!

We were delighted to escape and had so much fun. We will be back very soon, thank you for a fantastic experience and being so welcoming, we were very impressed! 100% recommend and worth a visit, can’t wait to book again!

7 February 2020Me and my wife did the ‘Terminating Here’ room in May 2021 after they’d opened up again post-lockdown. We’ve done lots of escape rooms before and this was up there... read more as one of the best ones. Great intro, great story, great game master.

We have been on another Mr E Room before a few years... read more ago and they were both really well put together.

If you have not done an escape room before, then we would well recommend this family friendly experience!

Visited today with my daughter for The Wizard's Quest. We've previously done an escape room in Hull so after discovering this one, we decided to see if they had... read more any available time slots and were lucky to get the only free slot.
I thought this was more difficult, but we were given some hints when we needed them and managed to find the Wizard's Spell and save the day with just seconds to spare.

10 December 2022This was a last minute plan due to rainy weather and it did not disappoint.

The gentleman set the scene really well and gave us a well detailed plan of escaping. My partner nearly caused a damage whilst playing (by accident!!!) but it was laughed off and didn't ruin the atmosphere. Would highly recommend if looking for an activity to do come rain or shine. Thank you! 🙂
4 August 2020Very welcoming. Great adaptations for the special measures needed at this time. A fun thing to do in your ‘bubble’. I’d love to go every week!
