What visitors say
We had such a great experience at Escape Reality Edinburgh! The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, especially when we arrived a bit late due to traffic — they even let us switch rooms so we’d have more time, which we really appreciated. We played the Nosferatu room this time and absolutely loved it. It was immersive, challenging, and really enjoyable from start to finish. The host looking after us (sorry we didn’t catch your name!) was fantastic — super helpful and encouraging whenever we needed a nudge, without giving too much away. We’ve also previously completed the Machina room, which was just as impressive, so it’s safe to say this place consistently delivers great experiences. We’ll definitely be back to try more rooms soon. Highly recommend!

Really cool escape room, we did asylum and loved it! Good price as well compared to other escape rooms in Edinburgh. The staff are also amazing and really help you get into the theme of the room and if you play along they go with whatever! I also like that you can leave at anytime if you need to without having to ask someone to let you out.

We had an absolute brilliant day!, from start to finish the team were amazing, we had Skye as our games master and she was honestly amazing!, no question was too silly, her helpful hints helped us through the room. Skye was so professional and just so down to earth!, she made our experience here a 10/10 and we will definitely be back to try out more of the rooms! Thank you so much🖤

Our experience was amazing as we unravelled clues. It was a great family game that taught togetherness. Stephen was the highlight of the evening, speaking like a real prison warden. My family and I loved it! ❤️
