HOUNDS - Escape Games - Immersive Experiences - Mini Bar

Fantastic experience from start to finish. My sister’s and I played the ‘Questionable Ethics’ game on our visit but will definitely be back to try one of the others. The puzzles and rooms were well thought out and the right level of challenging to be fun but not impossible to figure out at the same time. Our host played her part and was great fun to interact with throughout! Looking forward to coming back to try another storyline and I would highly recommend a visit here.

At the time of writing I've played about 160 escape rooms. This venue is easily the best I have seen in the UK to date. The games are fun and surprising with novel themes that have been made with meticulous attention to detail. The gamesmasters are excellent and stay in character while delivering their hilarious briefings and helping you through the game if needed. The bar is cool and classy and the perfect place to hang out before or after your game. In short, Hounds is just awesome. I really don't have enough superlatives to explain quite how awesome. Suffice to say they have absolutely raised the bar with this excellent venue and brilliant games. Whether you've never played an escape room before, or you've played hundreds, you are guaranteed to love your visit!

We love Hounds! The bestie an I have done quite a few different escape rooms and Hounds is definitely one of our favourites. We've done all three available so far and each one has been brilliant. The puzzles are challenging with a good spread between logic, physical and team coordination. What's really made it for us has been the effort put into the details - the rooms are all brilliantly constructed (although could prove challenging for big teams), torches are provided for some of the darker rooms (some places don't and it can often be tricky to see padlocks etc).

I want to give a special shout out to the hosts. The three we've had have been brilliant and really made the experience for us. They come and get you from the bar already in character and do a great job of breaking the ice. They stay in character throughout, right up until you're ready to leave. They really do make a difference to the game.

The bar area is very pleasant and, although we've not yet sampled them, there's a good range of cocktails on offer. It would make a great evening out.

Fantastic escape rooms with friendly and talented staff. Arnold was an excellent host and we completed The Explorer's Diary with only 55 seconds remaining. We were with a less experienced group and were given just the right amount of help to keep things fun without spoiling the experience. Lot of fun, I would recommend Hounds to those looking to try out escape rooms and experienced players alike.

The experience at Hounds was fantastic! Very well themed and very immersive. Belle guided us through Southern Dis-Comfort so that we could steal Dwayne's fabled moonshine. We got the moonshine and escaped with 12 seconds to spare.

Such a brilliant escape room experience!

My husband and I had the best time, the staff were super friendly and the room was just the right amount of challenge, not too hard that we couldn't enjoy it, but hard enough to keep us guessing. We did The Explorers Diary and it was such fun. Our game host was Arnold and he was brilliant, really made it an immersive experience. The bar staff were lovely too, all in all, a fantastic few hours! 🌟 We can't wait to go back and do the other rooms.

This place is a fantastic experience as soon as you walk in the door! I've been to some lazily put together escape room businesses, but this is not that. The Kennel Klub bar is beautifully decorated and well presented, and you can get drinks while you wait for your experience to start. The staff were superb, friendly and welcoming the whole time.

We did the Southern Dis-Comfort experience today, and it was a lot of fun and really well put together. Everything worked great, the effects were on point, and Lexi (our guide) was a lot of fun and really got into their role. We're definitely considering coming back for more.

I had a really fantastic time at Hounds. I did the 'Explorer's Diary' experience and - no joke - it was the best escape room I've been to. A lot of escape rooms feel like a room with a bunch of props in, but this one felt like you were in some sort of Indiana Jones film set, complete with rumbling caves, jumping snakes and a moving skeleton. Felt proper immersive and perilous, and all the freedom they give you meant that you really felt you were in an adventure. Loved it. Our guide, Monty (played by Ross) was a delight - very funny, helpful, and great at character work. I liked that it never felt he was reading off a script - everything felt natural, and he would converse with us in character if we said anything. Overall a brilliant time. The bar reception was a lovely touch too - clearly Hounds know how to give a space some atmosphere.
