“This was an amazing find! 4 of us went for a 43rd birthday and it couldn't have been more fun we didn't know what to expect but it was such a fun day we cant wait to return for another go!”
Hi Laura thanks for taking the time to review us and glad you had a great fun day. We look forward to your return visit for more fun and games.
Have a great week

“An excellently organised event in a great location with the right balance of encouragement and hints from the game organizer. We will definitely be back to try our luck again”
Hi Barry thanks for taking the tine to review us - we work hard to try and get the hints right. We look forward to your return visit.
Have a great week and we'll see you soon

“I booked Bunker 38 for my son's 13th birthday. There were six of us in the party (2 adults) . The staff were very welcoming and we firstly listened to a short video explaining what would happen in the bunker. The clues were quite challenging to find but we were given extra prompts just at the right moment to help us out. We managed to escape the room with only minutes to spare and all thoroughly enjoyed the challenge.”
Hi Selina - we like the close games as it is like a group of teenage boys said when they escaped with 2 seconds left - it's like a movie where you just escape at the last second. Of course not everybody escapes but for most people they are close.
Glad we could provide a fun birthday experience and both groups of teenage boys and teenage girls tend to love it with the latter sometimes being our noisiest patrons.
Thanks for the review and have a great week
Paul
“Absolutely fantastic! My partner and I done Bunker 38 and I thought it was very well organised, brilliant fun and just the right amount of a mental challenge... we made it out with only 59 seconds to spare! Highly recommended, can't wait to do Detonation next :)”
Hey Kane - we like the close shave games. Glad you had brilliant fun and didn't tax you too much. Look forward to having you back for some more challenge.
Have a great week and thanks for the review
Paul
“Had a great evening with my husband and two daughters age 12 & 15. A really exciting and unusual activity of solving clues to get out of the rooms. It was good to also get the occasional hint from the organisers to help us complete the task. Our girls really enjoyed it and want to go again.”
Hi Neal - thanks for taking the time to review us. It's a real help. Glad you came away buzzing. LIke you say something different for people to try and it's gratifying to have all different groups come through and enjoying it. Have a great week. Paul
Hi Clive - glad we gave the brains a bit of a workout for the evening. Hope you'll be back for more fun in Detonation. WIll it be more fun for Danny Badd or more fun for you? Thanks for reviewing us - have a great week.
Paul
“We had been looking at doing one one of these for ages and when we saw this on Groupon decided we should just do it! It was really clever and very well done, we went with four of us which seemed like a good number. We did need some help but did get out, we were given just enough clues when we really needed them but not too many that we weren't doing it ourselves. Overall very clever and enjoyable, the hour does go very quickly and we all got very competitive! Would recommend and would do the other room.”
Hi Emma - glad you had a good time and that the clues were tailored right for your group. It's a fine art :) We look forward to having you back for another game. We don't do deals for Detonation typically apart from to our valued previous customers typically.
Thanks for the review and have a great week

“If you have an hour to spare then you wouldn't be able to find a better way to spend it then with Clue HQ in Brentwood. I have been too a few of these escape the rooms and this one is up there with being one of the best. The clues and rooms were very well thought out and different. My only negative of the room would be the location being in a Portable cabin/hut does mean it can get cold. However with you running around trying to solve clues this can also be a blessing if there is 5 of you doing it.”
Hi Dean, Thanks for the great review. Now winter is out the way the temperature has certainly improved. Typically the first game of the day tended to be the coldest and so we added an extra heater which we would put on while getting things ready which takes the edge off. Unlikely to be an issue now Spring has arrived till Winter comes again. LIke you say with a decent size you soon warm up and gives you the authentic Bunker experience :)
Glad it matched up with the other games you played. When I have some time I have a list of escape rooms to visit.
Have a great week and look forward to seeing you again.
Paul
“Have been twice firstly with a group of 6 adults who had no clue what we were doing & we failed to escape even with lots of clues given to us. We made some suggestions about the lighting & torches and these were listened to as on our second visit a few weeks later these had been actioned.
The second visit was with my 3 children aged 2x13 & 17. My husband & I had played before so were not really joining in too much as we wanted the girls to do as much as they could. We gave the odd hint (when we actually remembered what to do ourselves) but they were great & escaped with 12 minutes to spare & not a lot of help.
Friendly staff & although the place is a little off the beaten track it is well signposted.”
Hi Helen - We feel it is important to listen to customer feedback and implement things as small changes can really make a difference. I like the concept of Kaizen or constant and never ending improvement. We are working on some further changes to our other game - just need to get the right people in to finalise that and what I ordered for one part doesn't fit the bill so back to the drawing board.
12 minutes is a very a good time so well done those kids.
It is a little different to many escape rooms which are typically in big city centres but hopefully also with that it brings a little je ne se quois. A person today was commenting on the beautiful sunset and a few times I have seen deers wandering about.
Hope you'll be back to tackle our other game - maybe do adults vs kids again and see who performs best.
Thanks for the review and have a great week
Paul
Hi Stephanie, Glad you had a great hour of fun. That's what it's all about. Giving the brain a little workout and some teamwork and other things but fun first and foremost. Thanks for the review. Until next time
Paul
“So test your skills toggle with your mind solve the clues and escape sounds easy but its not this will have you questioning all you know how to solve where to look what to find how many and so on, i went for my birthday and had the best fun its all about sticking together using each person to what skills they have even then do you think you can,,!! anyone looking for puzzle solving with fun a great time with friends family work collages, boys / girls day out any age i promise you will not be disappointed go along see what you can do its brilliant looking to have a fun time and a great experience i would recommend Clue HQ Brentwood.”
Hi Sarah - thanks for the great review. We appreciate the time people take as I know how busy everybody is. I'm certainly busy hence why I'm responding at 1.30am :)
Have a great week

“Looks like nothing from the outside but just wait till your inside and your challenge starts. What a fun experience. I went with a group of friends and we was apprehensive but read some good reviews so thought we should give it a go. We had such a laugh and the adrenaline gets pumping in the rush to succeed!
We concluded with less than a minute on the clock. And would definitely return.”
Hi Claire - so you know the power of reviews. For many they have never heard of it and are in similar boat not knowing what to expect so if they can see that other people like them may it be groups of friends, families, hen parties, kids parties enjoy it then it gives them confidence to try it. So thanks for taking the time to review us and help other people consider us.
Sounds like a close one. We look forward to hosting you again.
Have a great week
Paul
Thanks Cheryl - with all the other activities on site can make a day of things too with roperunners and the secret bunker.. Hope to see you again.
Thanks for taking the time to review us - it is appreciated.
Paul
Thanks Becky - please do recommend us if people ask for something fun to do - it's appreciated as is this review.
Hopefully see you again in future - have a great week
Paul
“We didn't know what to expect when we booked clue hq and it was a cold dark evening when the time arrived and we nearly didn't go but I'm so glad we did because it was one of the best experiences that we had ever done!!! Without giving too much away we had to escape within 1 hour....you can see the minutes ticking away as you try to find clues etc...and we managed with just seconds to spare!! A great experience for all ages and we will be having another go very soon!!!”
Hi Christine - I know the feeling where it's cold and dark and you want to go to bed. Glad you didn't blow it off though and had a great time. A close shave by the sound of things - we love games like that.
Please do come back - will hold you to that and please spread the word where you come from. It helps us to grow and do new things.
Have a great week
Paul
Hi Lauren - thanks for taking the time to review us and glad you had an amazing time - hope we can deliver again when you come back for detonation - Danny Badd is cackling megalomaniacly at the thought
Have a great week
Paul
“Six of us went along on Sunday morning to a big shed in the middle of nowhere, we were made very welcome and watched a informative video explaining everything to us before we began our escape.
The clues were extremely clever and kept us all on our toes trying to beat the clock, we managed to escape in good time, but that was only because we had three really good code breakers on our team.
I would recommend this to anyone who wants an hour of fun and something a bit different.
We are looking forward to going back and playing the other Clue HQ”
HI and thanks for taking the time to review us - our shed (ahem barracks) :) enjoyed having you. Will have to bring your code breakers back and see how you fair against Danny Badd - he does like a challenge.
Have a great week
Paul
“Fun and something different
We did this with our two sons and I only booked it while browsing the roperunners website but we loved it. Just the 4 of us solving puzzles and having never done anything like this before we were soon totally engrossed in the game and our games adviser was excellent, helping us with little visual clues when we needed it. Thoroughly recommended.”
Hi Alexis,
Glad you found us on our friends at roperunners site. I hope you got to experience their great ropes course too or one of their other activities - if not perhaps combine with another visit to us - make a day of it.
Glad you were totally engrossed and the games master was excellent. We are really pleased to have found some great friendly staff.
Thanks for the review and have a great week.
Paul
