As we all know, we’re in the grips of a pandemic. It’s awful. Life seems to have stopped for the majority of us, and Escape Rooms across the country have closed. Luckily there are ways to scratch the itch at home, these are some of my favourites, and some I intend to play. This list will be updated as best as possible!

These are a mix of play at home, treasure hunts and live-streamed escape rooms.

The Room Series
Doors: Awakening
I Expect You To Die (VR only)

“Board” Games:
Exit – Many Many titles available, You can purchase these from many escape rooms in the UK, why not give your local escape room a call to get one and support them in these hard times! I’ve played about 10 of these now and they range from enjoyably logical to frustrating with massive leaps of logic!
Unlock – 5 or 6 titles available, I’ve played one and it was very enjoyable, with logical puzzles and fun game play!
Adventure Games – A few titles available, I’m yet to play as I want to play this in a 2!
