- Kelly HMacclesfield, United Kingdom2 contributionsBirthday visitWe went for my daughter's 8th birthday and did the Alice in Wonderland room. There were 6 of us altogether, 2 kids, 2 parents and 2 grandparents and we all had a fabulous time. We did need a bit of help at times but we did make it out with24 seconds to go! Really recommend for families of all ages.Visited May 2023Travelled with familyWritten 19 June 2023
- Climber021965821662 contributions11th Birthday MagicAccompanied my 11 year old daughter and 5 of her friends to The Magic Academy room today - we loved it! The puzzles were challenging but logical and help was given from the very helpful Gary the Gremlin, if we needed it! 6 very happy kids who successfully completed their first escape room with a few minutes to spare! 😂Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're really pleased to hear that your daughter and her friends enjoyed Merlin's Magic Academy! We hope to see you again in the future :)Written 3 July 2023This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited July 2023Travelled with familyWritten 1 July 2023
- helzbelz90Denton, United Kingdom1 contribution8 year olds party- fantastic day!We booked this experience for my daughter's 8th birthday party and can't recommend enough. The staff were amazing. We had 7 very excited, hyper 8 year olds and the staff couldn't be more patient, polite and helpful. Merlin's magic academy room was fantastic, great props, great clues, couple of surprises I went into the room with them and it kept them entertained and engaged the entire time. We booked the room afterwards, and the food came out straight away and there was plenty. Overall an amazing experience, definitely one of the best children's parties I've been to. My partner and I can't wait to come back and try a different escape room (child free). Thank you MoviEscape.Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're so happy to hear you had a good experience with us and we hope that your daughter had a happy birthday! We look forward to seeing you and your partner again soon!Written 25 July 2023This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited July 2023Travelled with familyWritten 16 July 2023

We did the Merlin Academy room and it was great fun for all the family, we thoroughly enjoyed it. You really did get immersed in the whole experience. The team were really friendly and made the whole visit easy and enjoyable. Nice cafe also to have a drink and snack afterwards and chat about the fun you've just had!! Would definitely love to do another in the future 😊Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this lovely review. We're extremely happy to hear that you had a good experience with us!

- PWalsh75Stockport, United Kingdom2 contributionsBrilliant Birthday PartyMyself & my husband took our daughter & 3 friends for her 11th birthday. It was a great trip. Well organised, set up & run. The escape room itself was challenging (it was the 1st time for everyone!) & the host was really good. We ordered a photo (larger than I expected - that was a good thing) & party bag keyrings. Really pleased with the whole experience. The cafe was well stocked with snacks & drinks to have refreshments afterwards too!Visited February 2024Travelled with familyWritten 17 February 2024

- WatermelonHead99Clitheroe, United Kingdom1 contributionSawtopsyLoved it! I have never done an escape room before and it was brilliant, we would like to come back and try a different room! Staff very helpful, place was clean and had loads of cool movie props about, good selection of drinks. Partner has done one before and said this one was so good compared to the other one he had done elsewhere. Lots of fun, the time literally flew! I was worried I'd feel claustrophobic but you can leave the room at any time if needed (even for the loo!), there are also lockers to put your things in. If your stuck at any point you can get a clue to help.Visited February 2024Written 28 February 2024

We've been twice now, the staff are great and the rooms are fun. Definitely worth a visit.
The games are medium difficulty and can be solved by newbies as well as the experienced.

My daughter and her friends had a fantastic time here for her tenth birthday party. It was just the right level of difficulty as you can ask for help if you need it.

Which room would you say has the most jump scares?
moviESCAPE
Stockport, UK
Hi Jasmine - that would be our Haunted House. Thanks

Is the merlin room really dark or not too bad. I don't want my 11yr old too scared
moviESCAPE
Stockport, UK
Hi Julie, the Magic Academy room is dimly lit although lighting levels do change throughout the game. It never gets darker than it is when you first enter the room and we have had many groups of children playing the room in the past. Hope this helps
Hi. If I book for a group of 12-13 year olds does an adult need to go in with them? It would be for the magic room or the haunted house room.
Matthew B
Manchester, UK1 contribution
Hi Sarah, an adult would need to remain on-site for the duration of the game, but they do not have to stay in the room, they can wait outside. Thanks

Hi we are going to be a large group of 10 so we will be splitting into 2 groups but 2 of our group will be pregnant, about half way through not heavily so but is there anything that would be unsuitable? I have been to a few before and it was all mental nothing physical so I don't think that would effect anyone but thought better to ask first-better safe than sorry etc!

Hiya ive only done the haunted room although there are other room types available. There was nothing physical during this room. Everything should be ok.

Hi - I have got a session at the Meth lab for xmas for up to 6 people - non of my friends have seen breaking bad - does it matter? i.e. are there questions related to the series that only fans can answer? etc etc
carl w

Hi
No it doesn't matter. The game is inspired by the show but no knowledge of the show is required to play the room
Thanks

I can't even watch the film - can't believe I've been persuaded to go - please tell me it's not too scary!
moviESCAPE
Stockport, UK
Hi,
What game are you playing?
Our rooms are built by movie makers so the room is dressed and feels like a film set. Many people get very scared before they attend but discover its not as scary as they imagined.
If you are anxious just tell the host when you arrive and they will explain more.
Thanks
