- Leah N1 contributionDACENTHello, I legit just left no escape I am like jazzed after coming out of No Escape. It was unreal like actually unreal. Kataro greeted us at the door, commented on our posing for pictures in the ally. We were led into the room and the challenges were brilliant, not too hard but definitely not too easy. Had we not been so giddy and acting out theater scenes inside we might have had a better time at the end. It was a brilliant time, the price was very good I expected to be more expensive and honestly with the quality you would think so too. It was a great time to spend an evening. The cheery staff made it all the more enjoyable and really set the mood Kataro was a laugh at the front desk I was very nervous about it but when we were about to go in I was very excited.Visited October 2022Travelled with friendsWritten 29 October 2022
- Cathal1 contributionUnique & great experienceThis was the best and most unique escape room we have done so far. Looking forward to returning and trying another room. Parking is limited in area so we recommend parking in city hall car park and walking. We were a few minutes due to this and the staff were very understanding. They still gave us the full experience .Visited November 2022Travelled as a coupleWritten 12 November 2022
- sdestroya1 contributionreally recommendWe were playing the room 'Trapped'. The game was very immersive and spooky, not too easy and not too hard, so after all it was a great experience. Also, the guy with the long hair who was at the reception was just the friendliest and funniest person, who made sure our visit was joyful and rewarding from the moment we stepped inside the building.Visited October 2022Written 2 November 2022

Absolutely wonderful and hilarious experience! Me and my 3 friends did Trapped and it was honestly nothing like i expected, IT WAS BETTER THAN EXPECTED!!!
The person who was working there was so lovely and nice, had a nice conversation and even let us see the camera system used to see into each rooms.(It was like FNAF cams—)
Also, the entire puzzle itself was really well made and puzzling in a good way! I highly recommend going to this place, especially if you want a good laugh with your friends/family and challenge your puzzle-solving skills!

Great fun and friendly staff. We did the Egyptian room, Escape from the Tomb. Staff were very helpful and gave us lots of hints (which we needed). Only criticism is the level of lighting vs. visibility of some of the hints, which needs to be balanced a bit better for less sharper eyes. It would also have been great to have a photo, which I didn’t realize wouldn’t happen, so suggest if you go that you and your group take a photo outside first and/or ask staff member to take a photo of your group.
Would highly recommend as a fun activity to include as entertainment for young and old.

This is an amazing escape room. I've done two out of the three rooms currently available. They were both incredibly well organised, as well as challenging while still manageable and insanely fun. I did one room with a group, and one room with just my partner. They are manageable but still fun with just two, and also very fun and manageable with a group. I've visited other escape rooms that don't even compare to the fun I've had at this one. It must also be said the staff there are amazing. The same person was working there for both of my trips and they were very friendly, entertaining and helpful, without getting involved too much!! I would absolutely recommend a visit. Great to do with friends but also a super fun date!

Great fun had in No Escape's 'Trapped' room for a more alternative type of office X-mas party. Cooperation is essential to solve some of the problems, so was fab for team building. Booked the Egyptian themed room the following week for my kid's birthday party. Although some of the puzzles were very tricky, my 12-year-old figured out a good few, but my 10-year-old struggled, so bear that in mind when booking for young ones (there would need to be at least one adult in the room to help guide things). Staff were cool; help was always on hand if things looked like they were heading towards a dead end. Tempted to book Outbreak for the holidays!

Really enjoyed this activity with family to solve the threat of bio hazard spread. The quiz master is second to none, cracking jokes and giving us hints along the way. Highly recommend.

We booked this as sister day out. We were unsure of what to expect, I booked the trapped room. The guy who was working on the Sunday was welcoming and funny. The trapped room is definitely one for the books. It was my first time doing such activity and I wouldn’t be the one for this type of activity but it has to be one of the best activities to do around cork ! The details in the room and the clues were amazing! I will be recommending this to everyone . Me and my sisters really enjoyed our time here! And it is for all for ages teens, mid adults and 30s and above 😂!
I can’t wait to return with the rest of the family and friends
