Hounds - Immersive Experiences - Crawley

Sarah Knott

The Actors/GMs completely made our Hounds experience such a memorable one. We'd read and heard so many great reviews, so we chose to stay nearby to visit for an evening 'performance' with another the next day. The Actors remained in character throughout, giving hints at the right moments to ensure we got the best from the rooms. We enjoyed Explorer's Diary and Southern Dis-Comfort and will be back to do the others ASAP. Atmosphere, decor, props all set the scene, very professionally done, a lot of attention to detail. These rooms are perfect to introduce anyone to Escape Rooms as well as being fun and challenging for the experienced. Loved the obvious priority given to ensure all visitors achieve the satisfaction of finishing the rooms and just have a great time. Cocktail Bar and ambience before and after games such a fantastic added extra. The cocktails were delicious and the front of house/bar staff so friendly. You're doing a great job Hounds - no surprise you've won awards and have so many well-deserved excellent reviews.

We did the Explorer’s Diary mission today and it was proper fun. Our host was entertaining and set up the atmosphere for the whole experience (plus gave me a fright when he appeared out of nowhere at some point during the mission, which was a good laugh). We expected his presence to be more overwhelming, and we were a bit nervous before starting as it was our first time, but it was actually well balanced.

Props and puzzles were very good and there wasn’t a lot of repetition. Overall we had a fantastic time and are keen to try the other mission (or the live experience) (this is Ellie, by the way)

Brought my wife to Hounds for her birthday, she is an escape room and cocktail aficionado so seemed like a perfect place for a birthday treat. We both had an amazing time, really enjoyed the immersive escape rooms (Southern Dis-comfort, Questionable Ethics) & the great cocktails in the speakeasy bar afterwards. Highly recommended!

Explorer's Diary was excellent. One of the best rooms we have ever done - and we've done a fair few in the UK and abroad! Can't recommend it enough. A great balance of puzzles, immersion and live actor input (enough but not too much, if you're put off by that sort of thing!). Plus, the design was incredible. Go, go, go!

We had such a fantastic time at Hounds this weekend, Monty (Ross) was absolutely brilliant and played his part with enthusiasm and great humour. We did the Explorer’s Diary escape room, which was challenging enough without being frustratingly difficult. There were a number of rooms involved which we gained access to as we progressed and the atmosphere matched the storyline really well.

When we were done we relaxed in the bar for a while as our dinner reservation was a little later. We had some of the moonshine cocktails and enjoyed the relaxed environment. The lady on the bar was really lovely too.

We will definitely being going back to do more of the Hounds escape rooms, thanks for a great time!

Such a brilliant escape room experience!

My husband and I had the best time, the staff were super friendly and the room was just the right amount of challenge, not too hard that we couldn't enjoy it, but hard enough to keep us guessing. We did The Explorers Diary and it was such fun. Our game host was Arnold and he was brilliant, really made it an immersive experience. The bar staff were lovely too, all in all, a fantastic few hours! 🌟 We can't wait to go back and do the other rooms.

Done a few escape rooms in Florida and this beats them all. It was fun for all the family as the room we did was interactive fun and challenging but not too hard. The live actors were great and I highly recommend going. We will be back

Visited Hounds yesterday for the 2nd time and was just as impressed as the first. We love that the host is in character from the moment you're collected from the bar area. Great range of challenges in the experiences and a number of rooms/spaces in each. Very well done and lots of fun! Lovely little touch that we found a birthday card to me (as we were there for my bday) within one of the bits we unlocked - really sweet. Delicious cocktails in the bar too. Thanks team!
