Very cute theme, interesting interactions and puzzles. Our host Josh was both very helpful with hints when needed and was very into the bit at the beginning. I have played approximately 50 escape rooms and this is definitely in my top 5.
An excellent escape. This was the fourth room we have been to at ClueQuest and we think our favourite. It helped we escaped with four seconds to go
We had a fab time completing CQ-origenes. Esther was a fantastic host, very enthusiastic and set the scene brilliantly. Not your usual escape room with lots of locks.
As always cluequest didn't disappoint. We have now completed all room challenges, each well constructed, exciting and mentally and physically challenging. We would encourage anyone who enjoys escape rooms to give them a try. The higher levels are an amazing challenge, for those with previous experiences, we look forward to trying any new rooms when they develop them. Great job cluequest, all sta... more
The puzzles were really varied and the staff were just the right amount of generous with their hints. Things we got stuck on were generally not seeing something or looking at something hard enough. A great way to test a group's communication and puzzle solving with pattern recognition and logic!
The Pros:
Rowen and Nii were our Game Masters — they greeted us energetically. While this is the first room we couldn’t complete, we had an absolute blast and would recommend this room to advanced escape room enthusiasts and/or larger teams. The room is totally immersive. The puzzles are interesting and difficult. Unlike a lot of escape rooms, this room had no padlock / key puzzles. Origenne was... more
Our first experience of doing an escape room and it was great fun. The staff kept in character and overall it was a really fun time!
A great escape room. Our third trip to ClueQuest (first visited six years ago!) and still the best escape room experience we have tried. Brilliant attention to detail, and barely any combination locks that seem to proliferate elsewhere.
Great fun. We've now done all of the Cluequest escape rooms and would wholeheartedly recommend them.
Excellent. Friendly greeting, quick booking in procedure. The Room was at the top of the building but the climb was worth it. The puzzles were different from what I have seen before, and were challenging. We needed guidance on one puzzle in particular. We were told it was the hardest room they had and well believe it. Definitely will visit again to try another room.
We had a great time at Clue Quest. The game was challenging but not frustrating at all. All the puzzles were fun to solve and overall our experience was amazing.
Varvara was there to guide us and she gave us hints along the way at exactly de right time when we needed them.
We would definitely come back to solve more rooms :)
Thanks to Esther and Rowen for guiding our intrepid 4 person stag do during our attempt to solve cQ ORIGENES.
Several of our party had done escape rooms before, but never together, and never as difficult as this one!
Yet it was fantastic fun in spite of the difficulty, with a good number of "Aha!" moments.
Don't dress for the cold - with a few people in a confined space, it will warm up... more
Very enjoyable escape room, most challenging I have done. Especially liked that the puzzles were different not just undoing various padlocks. Only issue was that the escape room itself got very warm over the hour (was a very hot day) though the waiting areas were nicely cooled.
It was an amazing experience and we had so much fun! The puzzles were intriguing but not impossible and the room was carefully prepared so that it felt real.
Great escape, atmosphere is nice, enigmas are diverse, fun and satisfying to accomplish, and not too easy. Great experience!
A really clever escape room with some innovative and cunning puzzles! Thankfully there are helpful hints available when you need a pointer, but it’s so satisfying when you work out how to solve a challenge. Great fun!
I've done about 20 escape rooms and this one earns a spot in my top 3, extremely challenging but super fun, got out with only 9 seconds left! (with or without the help of our very friendly supervisor Alex ;) ) If you're in London and are looking for something to do, don't hesitate and book your escape room now!!!
Myself and two friends did the cQ Origenes room together as a birthday present - it was absolutely fantastic! We'd done the Operation Blacksheep room together previously and were keen to try another after that. The cQ room was great - fab setup and concept, and the puzzles were challenging but Taiyo, our gamesmaster, gave us just enough of a nudge to make it out in the end. Apparently it has a pre... more
Our guide Freya was amazing, very welcoming presence, very helpful and overall made an already enjoyable room even better
Great escape room, made you work hard. Good clues, good quality of build and great staff. Would recommend
