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
This was the first room I’ve ever done and it was amazing, the room had many interesting puzzles to solve and the staff were really helpful.
Vatuala was so fantastic and definitely made the experience so much better. Would definitely go again!
My friends and I had a fantastic time. It was all our first time doing an escape room and we found it challenging and rewarding. The staff members were lovely and incredibly helpful.
Absolutely wonderful! We came in stressed and late because the Platinum jubilee celebrations had closed down seemingly half the train stations in central London so we had to literally run to make it before we lost our booking.
Instead of being annoyed our amazing instructor Camillo, calmed us down, waited for us to catch our breath and skilfully guided us through both the introduction and the a... more
Amazing escape room! Very well themed throughout and just generally very well thought out, would highly recommend! Vatvata was our host who was excellent!
As ever, fun and infuriating. Found this the hardest of the 4 escape rooms. Lots of clever puzzles and clues
Really well-constructed room. Good mix of team puzzles and things to parallelize, and not too much guesswork to string things together, either. A few bits needed slightly more visual cues as to exactly what order you were expected to do things, e.g. the hand scanners, but on the whole some really innovative and collaborative puzzles which the whole team enjoyed. Difficult, though - even with a few... more
Our third time back at ClueQuest and the games are all fantastic. This one was super challenging and we loved it.
Very well-crafted and integrated escape room challenge. The communication was great also from outside the room. Will surely look to come back. Good Fun!
Having been testers for a new CQ room before, it was nice to play a game that has been in use for some time. The puzzles flowed really well, and there was no 'frustration factor' at all. We're not escape room pros, so we were pleased to escape after 50 minutes with no hints. Valvara made the day fun and easy, and used her judgement well to hold back on clues.
Very good experience. Very friendly staff, great design with lovely details all over. Tells a great and fun story. We barely managed to get out in time without any hints. The staff gave us the time we needed but was ready to send hints if we got stuck.
