Masks were worn at all times by us and staff. Hand sanitiser was in every single room we went in, even in the game. When the video ended, Mads returned to escort us to our jail cell to begin our time in Alcatraz.Ĭovid Procedures: Our temperatures were checked on arrival before being allowed into Houdini’s. This ‘cinema’ was used to show another health and safety briefing but was swiftly followed by the room specific briefing where we learned the back story to our mission. In normal (non-Covid) times, we would have been given freshly made popcorn, but for obvious reasons that was off the menu today. With the formalities out of the way she led us down the corridor and into their private cinema-esque screening room.
Our GM, Mads, was happy and enthusiastic from the start and we had a nice little chat before she gave us the health and safety briefing.
When we arrived we were greeted at the entrance to Houdini’s and our temperatures were checked before allowing us into their premises – a good touch! Once we passed this first test we took a seat in their very comfortable and elegant waiting area while we filled in the usual waivers.
It always feels like a great tie-in when you get an escape room located in an entertainment centre, who wouldn’t want to do bowling and an escape room? The stars finally aligned (and lockdown lifted) so we took a day trip down to Southampton to Houdini’s Tenpin location to play two games, Escape from Alcatraz swiftly followed by Extinct. Pretty much everyone in the escape room world will have heard about Houdini’s, they’ve been around for a while and have a stellar reputation, so it’s quite surprising it took us this long to get down to their Southampton (Tenpin) location to play a couple of their games – although part of this delay can be blamed on Covid. You have been convicted of multiple murders that you didn’t commit and have 1 hour to escape your cell in Alcatraz before you are executed. “I love pressure, I eat it for breakfast!”
