My friends and I here in America played the virtual version of The Exorcist room and were completely impressed. Highly recommend! Gameplay went as smoothly as butter. Players have a host and a cameraman to guide them through the puzzles. Unlike your standard IRL rooms where the hosts are part-timers who mostly work behind the scenes, these guys are clearly immaculate professionals with a performance background. After our session, we talked about how James' experience as a magician helped him create the special effects. He even took a demonology course so he could sound more knowledgeable when answering player questions. Apparently, the actual Crowley manor is located nearby the escape room, which explains the ER's attention to historical detail. Now, I will say that my friend group are savvy escape room enthusiasts and we only got out with 17 sec to spare. The puzzles aren't particularly hard, but finding the clues and talking with the host slows things down (not in a bad way, though!). This just means newbie escapers might not win the game, although I think they'll still enjoy it immensely. And maybe I'm wrong. The host was a total pro and it's possible he'd provide more hints to newbies that would help push things along faster.

Visited today with my children. It was very busy but we managed to get a table and the children had a great time. The place is immaculately clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. I arrived and had no cash (warning - no card machine!) but I was allowed to bring the children in, then dash to the atm whilst my friend watched them. Would definitely recommend.

THE BOWLING GREEN, Ashton Under Lyne

Reviewed By X5222GKandreah

We went out to the pubs last night for the first time since lockdown etc and had a drink in The Bowling Green. The staff were fantastic and I felt they kept everybody safe. The girl on the door made sure everyone sat at their own table which were socially distanced from other groups/couples. When people drink, they obviously become more relaxed and drop their guards, me included, but the staff in here made it their responsibility to make sure people adhered to the guidelines. Thank you for valuing your customers.

Cineworld Ashton-Under-Lyne

The best place to watch a movie. We aim to open around 30 minutes before our first showing each day

Reviewed By LDS55 - Manchester, United Kingdom

Go here often to see films, comfortable seating, plenty of leg room. Drinks and Snacks are expensive though that’s the only complaint.
