OMG What an experience

OMG What an experience! So we walked in, to be greeted by what I can only call (Please don't take offence) A very weird and special person lol, greeted us, explained the rules and took us up to the room. Now I don't know if he was acting or was genuinely just a little bit weird but he is perfect for this role, I was not scared or even slightly worried going in but by the time we were in the room, set up and ready to play I was thinking oh crap I have bought us to something that has put us at risk.

Then the games start. From beginning to end the girls were jumping, scared, even I had a few moments of "oh crap"

I would highly recommend this escape room! I have done a few and this is without a doubt the best escape room I have ever done. Definitely one for the memory book! Thank you Panic Rooms!

5 stars all around!

Never been disappointed from a visit to Gravesend Panic rooms.
We first went for my birthday and did Dons Revenge escape room, and the Pirate themed Escape Game as well as the retro arcades and gaming cafe.
The rooms are well thought out and great fun! they aren't quite at Tulleys level for immersion but offer far more in the way of variety.

We then visited again for my Mums birthday and did Hotel Homicide, this one involved a lot more investigation work so might not be suitable for all.

Out most recent visit was for my Birthday again, seems to be a yearly occurrence now.
We did Break the Bank and this Escape room was right up my street!
not only can you complete this escape room but you can choose to keep going to see just how far you can take the heist.

We followed up with Axe throwing which was great fun and I'm really gutted i cant remember the name of the chap who ran through this with us as he was absolutely brilliant!

All staff are lovely and they are a credit to the Panic Room company.

if you've not tried The Panic Rooms yet then get yourself booked in!

Omg I can’t even explain how much I…

Omg I can’t even explain how much I loved it. Me and my friends loved it and it was so fun and interesting. We did The Dollhouse and it was supposed to be scary. And all of us felt scared during the game and at some moments more than other. The price for it is good in my opinion and the quizzes and puzzles you need to solve are interesting and relate to the story. Sadly we didn’t get to finish it completely but I still loved it a lot and we even got a picture at the end. And the guy that explained everything to us was very nice and polite.

Absolutely amazing time to be had here

Absolutely amazing time to be had here. Puzzles are logical, and the themes are well executed. They have rooms for all ages, and everyone is encouraged to participate. Particularly loved revolution ole!

Escape from your world into a Panic Room...

I have visited all of The Panic Room's current sites in Gravesend and Harlow and I've fround all of the games to be engaging, interesting, enjoyable, frustrating at times (in a good gaming kind of way!), exciting and with just the right balance of lateral and logic requirements.

They have a great set of staff - GamesMasters who control your environment - they are enthusiastic and clearly care about the games that they manage. I've even been luckly enough to test for the owners, who are a passionate and friendly couple (passionate about the games I mean!)

The games are too varied to explain adequately on here, ranging from their original - The Panic Room (a conspiracy-theorist Panic Room - a perfect starter room) through to the Don (Mafia-boss office) to the Dollhouse (a mild-horror escape-the-madman room) to the delightfully bizarre Gilman Hotel (a nod to H.P. Lovecraft enthusiasts). I am looking forward to their next ambitious adventures - a Dinosaur-based save-the-day room (probably series of rooms) and the intriguing Ten Fathoms Deep (escape the sub) team versus team room.

I am so pleased that such an amazing experience is so close to me. They provide a great escape (pun intended) and teach an easy lesson, Don't Panic!
