What an experience! The live actors really added an extra layer to the room, making it super immersive! Puzzles were challenging and led to some great highs when you figured them out! Not absolutely terrifying, which was a good thing! A perfect mix of spooky fun while still being able to enjoy the escape aspect! Would highly recommend!

The Burns room is excellent, the hardest room in Glasgow for sure. No clues and we were so close to getting out! Having done almost all the rooms at The Room I am always impressed with the quality of the puzzles and red herrings. Can't wait to come back and do the Dark room to get a full sweep!

Purrple Cat Cafe

Reviewed By NineLivesBurra - York, United Kingdom

The whole experience from booking to leaving at the end of the allotted time is exceptional. The welfare charge of £8 weekdays and £10 weekends goes to looking after the kitties. Profits from what you eat/drink/purchase also go to look after the kitties. The cats come from rescue shelters, in particular Catflap Rescue Charity, Glasgow. The food/drink/merchandise are good value for money when you consider the love and care lavished on all the kitties. Tracey and the Cattendants provide anything a little kitty could want and it is such good fun to spend an hour relaxing watching the kitties play around you. No under 5s due to their inability to understand that the kitties must not be picked up or chased but everyone else is welcome.
