Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I played X-Initiation at the beginning of March (luckily just before the lockdown), X-it's mobile game where they take the escape experience to you. I am an Escape Room lover and have done many different Escape Rooms before but this was my first experience of a mobile version.
I have to admit, at first I was a bit sceptical about how the enjoyment would compare to being in an actual escape room with all the bells and whistles, but I was pleasantly surprised that this did not disappoint! It was thoroughly enjoyable and exciting, with a good level of challenge. I was in a group of 4, with 2 of us being quite experienced with escape rooms, and we both enjoyed the experience, finding some of the tasks/puzzles quite challenging to work out. We completed it in good time within the allocated hour, but felt involved and busy throughout. It doesn't take up much room, we had it all fit on one table, but I suppose you could have it dotted about in different parts of the room if you wanted.
Our host Clare was delightful, arrived on time and was very prompt in answering if we were stuck and needed help. I highly recommend this mobile experience, what a great idea that the escape room can come to you! Can't wait to go there and play Afterlife!

Was fortunate enough to visit X-IT Games in Shipley and play both their table top escape game and then the brilliant Afterlife escape experience.
The tabletop game was great and involved a number of ingenious puzzle types that required real team work to crack.
Having completed that we moved on to Afterlife which I think is probably the best escape room I've played. So many different puzzle types, quite a few of which I'd never come across and beyond that a terrific design that doesn't just test your brains but requires a range of sensory experiences unlike anything I've come across elsewhere!
Brilliant! As soon as the lockdown comes to an end book and get yourself locked in here!

I played afterlife here last week. The game was well designed, fun, thematically strong, difficult enough to be a challange and a good range of different puzzles. The games host, Vince, was friendly and welcoming and introduced the theme of the game really well in his opening description. I thought that the cards that we got at the beginning were an excellent touch.

I cannot recommend this place highly enough! We came as a work outing of games masters from another escape room. We have now chalked up 25 games and this was right up there with the very best! The game play, the immersion, the theming, the game structure, the narrative, all stunning.
The quality of all the props and scenery were all amazing and every detail was carefully created and well thought through.
The variety and quality of the puzzles were fantastic. Lots of challenges that were very well organised, and hands on puzzles that we'd not seen anywhere else before.
We will remember this game for a long time.
Congratulations to Clare and the team for a superb escape room and thanks to Vince for being an excellent games master.

Me and 3 friends used the mobile experience where they brought the escape room to you. The staff were really friendly whilst keeping you immersed in the experience. The games were really challenging and make you think but it was great fun. We passed with 13 minutes left on the clock so if we can do it, you can too. Would highly recommend and will be using them again!

Brilliant game, very good level of challenge. We did the mobile escape room and it worked so well and was lots of fun for something different to do with friends. I would definitely recommend!

We did the portable x-it game it was a really fun spin on an escape room that was familiar but a different experience. Had a great time with friends and the member of staff we dealt with Claire was friendly and encouraging throughout.

We just did the mobile escape room - it was brilliant. A great mix of puzzles with excellent attention to detail. The host, Clare, is so friendly and it was pitched at the perfect level. We managed to escape, and would love to try more from x-it!

There is so much creativity in these Escape Rooms! From start to end, Host Clare is in character and it really feels like an immersive experience! The fact that I don't even need to leave my house and I can have this brought to me and run one during a party is beyond me! Definitely made having house partys more common in my house thats for sure!
Do not miss out on the real deal or the mobile Escape room! both are incredible and range from the simpletons to the geeky houdinis! You are bound to have fun and miss things right under your nose!
Thanks Clare!

Amazing escape room with unique challenges! Very friendly staff and awesome game aesthetics. We even got to meet the creator and she is so so nice! We have recently done the mobile escape game too and it was even better as we did it at home and Clare tab the game perfectly!

Is it suitable for age 12? Just a bit worried about subject matter afterlife etc. Done Sherlock holmes type before

It would be fine. It’s a bit like Halloween but definitely not too macabre. And not scary. Sure they would love it.
