Room 118

Room 118 is built for players who want substance over spectacle. This fully digitised replica of Beverley Breakout’s physical room leans into an investigative setup, with the sense of chasing an elusive thief through a contained hideout rather than stepping into a big theatrical set-piece. It is more case file than fright show, and that works in its favour if you want a clean, focused challenge.

The puzzle load is the real selling point. This is the sort of game that stays busy from start to finish, with a dense chain of clues, interesting mechanics and enough variation to stop it feeling like a single-note codefest. One fair summary is that it is a

proper brain-bender, but the logic mostly holds together well. The challenge is genuine, but it does not sound sloppy or arbitrary for the most part.

That makes it a strong fit for experienced escape-room players, especially smaller teams who enjoy collaborating closely and talking through every step. Beverley Breakout suggests 3 to 4 players as the sweet spot, and that feels right for a room like this. Two players may cope, but they will have plenty on their plate, while bigger groups should only book if they are happy to share the load.

Room 118 also seems to get by on a few pleasing surprises. The digital format is part of the appeal, not just a compromise, and the best descriptions point to little twists that keep the game fresh. It is

packed with puzzles, it kept our team busy from start to finish. That is exactly the sort of praise this room earns: not for atmosphere, but for giving puzzle fans enough to sink their teeth into.
