A nice room with one particular surprising high tech element which was really fun and worked really well. An awful lot of locks and keys, but some original puzzles that were very satisfying to work through once we had worked out the solution.

Really fun room. Kept us both busy and rarely needed a hint. Would recommend this - it is a good room and very enjoyable lots of puzzles to solve.

Nice logical room - a good one to start off with, if you are playing a few. Some nice puzzles in the room that we've not seen before too! Excellent hosting from Bee!

Oh this room was a great start to our day at Agent Brains! Loved the theming it was so realistic. A very good mix of puzzles including many locks and some very cleverly hidden and disguised clues. Plenty to do and fairly non linear, solve not search. Bright and spacious, a good solid traditional room with some humorous touches too. This whole venue is superb, and the owners and GMs are fun, passionate and engaging. Strongly recommended!

Like the other rooms here, there was a lot to do which is a great challenge for a team of 2 like us or a larger group of less experienced escapers. We found this the easier of the three rooms at Agent Brains, but no less fun.

Lab rooms have been done time and time again so it was refreshing to see a new and unique take on the theme.

As always the rooms looked brand new and are clearly well kept with great attention to the reset. The hosts here were great again and we really cannot fault them. We really hope they can expand with some new rooms in the near future.

Reviews by escape room review sites

The Lab is Agent Brains’ most traditional and simplest room in a lot of ways, with a classic mad scientist theme. But it works! It’s a great room for families (starting at 10+) or newbies but was still enjoyed by all 3 of us enthusiasts for the clean game design and set. It’s probably the ideal starter game out of their five (despite the fact it wasn’t one of our fastest escapes here). So, grab a lab coat and brush off those safety glasses…the city of Letchworth is counting on you!

I’m going to start boldly by saying this is pretty much everything an ideal Escape Room venue should be.
