The Battle For Britain by Escape Plan Ltd Review

Looking for a World War 2 themed experience? Then Escape Plan Ltd is perfect for you. Located in London in Bethnal Green, you can find it easily located close by to Liverpool Street & Old Street tube stations, or Shoreditch High Street on the Overground. Opened 7 days a week at selected times and excluding some dates, costing from £25 per person, it’s an affordable activity within the London entertainment sector to get immersed in. 

Escape Plan Ltd pride themselves in hosting 3 escape room experiences all set within the 1940s and World War 2 era. Experiences can last anywhere between 60 to 75 minutes where you race against the clock to try and escape. Using communication, critical thinking and logic to solve all the puzzles and objectives required. 

 

Our experience was The Battle For Britain escape room. 

“The day is 18th August 1940 and the Luftwaffe have launched a resurgent attack on Britain, where your air base has been hit by the first wave of heavy bombing. As the only survivors, you must access the strategic ops room and mobilise the full force of the RAF to save Britain. But with a second attack imminent, can you also save yourselves?”

Storyline & Theming: 7/10

As we already knew from the overall World War 2 theme of Escape Plan, that we were in store for an older styled game. However, we were pleasantly surprised with the overall aesthetics of the room, as it looked clean and well presented. It was nice to see different styles and settings across the game and the storyline was clear and simple. It was nice to have set objectives of the mission prior to going into the room and not just having to escape, giving more depth to the story a huge boost and motive to be interested in the goals, and not just worrying about solving puzzles and escaping. No theming felt out of place and neither did you break from the story during the experience, from the mission briefing through to the photo opportunity at the end, it was a great little touch! 

Puzzles & Flow: 10/10

The puzzles and flow of the game was done incredibly. Everything made sense, no puzzles were too difficult or too easy, nothing required outside knowledge prior to the game and with it being a multi-linear experience, it gave you the opportunity to do more than 1 task simultaneously; so when we got stuck, we could move on and come back to it later. We took no hints in the game and managed to complete it in good time too! The puzzles were a range of padlocks and technology based, using different tools and skill sets which for a team of 3, allowed us all to shine and utilised our strengths throughout the escape. This meant the flow could not be faulted and it all felt seamless and natural.

Uniqueness: 9/10

We believe The Battle For Britain room was very unique, as the whole venue is set to the World War 2 theme which is rare on its own, but there were so many puzzles we hadn’t encountered before too. The most unique element was the mission objective of the room. This wasn’t just your usual solve puzzles and get out, we were building up to completing our objective throughout the 60 minutes. We managed to ace all the puzzles and fully complete the objective with minutes spare! 

The Battle For Britain by Escape Plan Ltd Review

Overall, The Battle For Britain is one of the best and strongest rooms we’ve done this year. Escape Plan Ltd have a lot going for them, with a rare theme, unique objectives and some excellent puzzles and gameplay. It creates a well polished 60 minute experience that we enjoyed so much. Even if the theme isn’t for you, we still think you’ll enjoy the games they have to offer. With 3 to choose from, they all sound equally as fun as the next. 

A huge thank you to the team at Escape Plan Ltd for inviting us to play one of their games on a Friday in September. They provided it complimentary in return for our review and thoughts to share with you. Ratings and comments are our own opinion and not influenced by the complimentary experience, we genuinely found it to be one of the best.
