Brighton Escape Room: Handmade Mysteries Review

A few weeks ago, I was invited to review one of Brighton’s Escape Rooms – the Handmade Mysteries Escape Room which is held at the fantastic World’s End pub. I immediately said yes as I had never done it before despite always wanting to, and I’m so glad I did it! I invited some friends to come along to make up our team of six – perfect to decipher its many riddles and puzzles.

We booked our session for 9pm (they have earlier ones too, at 6pm & 7.30pm) and put our thinking brains together to solve Lady Chastity’s Reserve. Our escape room was held in The World’s End in Brighton, one of my favourite pubs, which has a full floor dedicated to games, an indoor kart circuit and VR booths – the perfect location for a full night of fun.

After a glass of G&T to build up our courage we headed to the room, where our host Gabriel was meeting us…She led us through to the room, where the rules were explained (no photos – sorry!) and the wheels for our mystery set in motion. We had one hour, and three helps from Gabriel, if we needed them.

The room had a variety of riddles and puzzles which unlocked the next as we went along – it was fairly dark, so there was much giggling and unexpected frights along the way. I don’t want to ruin the surprise for you, so I won’t fully describe the experience, but I’ll just say that through sheer genius (or Gabriel’s help!) we managed to solve the whole puzzle with one minute to spare, which won us a bottle of Lady Chastity’s Reserve’s best – one clue, the puzzle is about the wine! The hosts were fantastic and really made the experience for us through endless puns.

I can now say that after this experience I am now well and truly hooked on Escape Rooms, and have already booked my next! So if you’re looking for an unusual night out in Brighton I am very happy to recommend Handmade Mysteries. They also have an Escape Room at the Walrus, if you fancy staying closer to the beach, and various locations in London.
