- magsy222018Worthing, United Kingdom32 contributionsWe had an absolute blast really great fun.There was 8 of us in total and was the first time for all of us to do an escape room. We did the smugglers ruin and absolutely had fun trying to work out all of the clues and crack the codes within the hour. We throughly enjoyed ourselves and would definitely do another one .Visited September 2023Travelled with familyWritten September 18, 2023

- Annabel SBrighton and Hove, United Kingdom7 contributionsOne of our favourite Escape Room experiences!We completed Smuggler's Ruin yesterday and had such a great time playing! As a team we've played over 25 games all over Europe and this is up there with one of our favourites - the theme and rooms are brilliantly decorated and very immersive. Lots of the puzzles we haven't seen used before so the room felt fresh, exciting and more importantly fun! It flowed really well and was very logical - as a team of 4 there was plenty for us all to do and solve together. Our host was lovely and buzzing with energy when we completed the game that really added to the great experience! We'll 100% be back to try to next room Trapped for Cash and would absolutely recommend it to others to try. High fives all round! Thanks for the great experience!Visited September 2023Travelled with friendsWritten September 25, 2023
- Amy C1 contributionBest escape room!Wow! The best escape room we have ever been to. We were so impressed with the layout and the games involved within the escape room, it was all put together very well. Jamie was so lovely and enthusiastic, made our experience such a laugh. Will definitely be returning!Visited September 2023Travelled with friendsWritten October 2, 2023
- Sally BSteyning, United Kingdom14 contributionsSparkling FunWe booked to go to this for a friends Birthday, sadly she was poorly so unable to make it, but still encouraged us to go. We were given lovely clear instructions before the session, and met where we were supposed to by Olive, who was amazing from start to finish, she clearly loves her job, and really made us feel welcome. We got to the welcome bit where we all got very excited about sparkly fancy dress, and all got dressed up in various glitter outfits. Olive took the time to explain what was going to happen and we were amazed that after asking she managed to remember correctly each of our 7 member names! The game itself was excellent, based on several different game show, being able to do 2 at a time was great as quite a large group we could split up work on them separately only having to come together to do the conga!! Such a clever set up, with great variety, you could come back and do it again, as we had several games that we didn't get to and also i have no idea how some of the games the other half of my group did! All in all we came out hot, bothered, a bit glittery but all saying the same thing, what brilliant afternoon. Thanks Mindworks, and especially Olive for making the afternoon such good fun. We will b back.Visited October 2023Travelled with friendsWritten October 9, 2023

- Simon KBromham, United Kingdom29 contributionsSmugglers RuinGreat host and the family really enjoyed the smugglers Ruin escape room. We all had fun and really had to work hard to search for clues and solve all the puzzles. The host was brilliant and knew when to step in and help with clues to make sure we completed the escape room even if we were a little bit over time. Thank youThis is so brilliant to read, Simon.

- HobHove, United Kingdom23 contributionsOne of the best escape rooms we’ve done.One of the best escape rooms we’ve done with an incredible host. We did the smugglers room and loved it. We’ve done most of the rooms around Sussex and this is up there with the best for sure! The puzzles and set were really interesting and well laid out and there wasn’t a single frustrating, unsatisfying puzzle in the room (there’s normally at least one). Our host (Fogg) was brilliant, he stayed in character from start to finish and gave just the right level of little nudges to help us from getting stuck.Thank you so much for your amazing 5-star review!! We're so chuffed you had such a fun time escaping 'Smuggler's Ruin'!! It means a lot, especially coming from folks who have tackled a lot of escape rooms. Your detailed comments are really epic to hear, so thank you! We will pass on your compliments to Grand Admiral Fogg - he'll be a very happy admiral indeed!Written December 2, 2023This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited October 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten November 1, 2023
- Sam @ The LiftBrighton, United Kingdom3 contributionsA hell of a lot of money grabbing fun!Wow! What an escape room! Firstly, the set design was on point! Colourful, engaging and very immersive. Secondly, the puzzles were incredibly fun. Each one kept us on our toes and the random puzzle aspect meant we had no idea what was coming next. After all the chaotic fun of the first part the team is brought together in a more linear play. It was a refreshing take on an escape room. Lastly, the host was amazing. There is a love for the games here and you instantly pick that up from how engaging the host was. Highly recommended!Thank you so much Sam and team!!! Your super kind review means the world, especially coming from such a pro, like yourself! :) We will definitely see you again soon!Written December 2, 2023This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited October 2023Travelled with friendsWritten November 2, 2023

Absolutely brilliant experience! I visited with a group of friends at the weekend and had a fantastic time. The host was brilliant, very humorous and I loved the Victorian gentleman character that he embodied and stayed in for the whole time. He made it fun from the start and I think helped relaxed a couple of our friends who hadn't done an escape room before.
I have done a few escape rooms now, and quite possibly this is the best one yet! A lot of very unique puzzles with exciting surprises throughout. There were varying levels of difficulty that test your brain in all kinds of ways. As a group of 6, we managed to solve them all and successfully escape!
I would highly recommend anyone into escape rooms, or escape roon newbies, to give this a go if puzzles are your thing. Great fun all round!

Thank you so much for the amazing review! Really pleased that you loved the experience and appreciated everything from your quirky host to the little details of the puzzles. We're all very chuffed to hear that it may have been the best escape room you've played too! Glad you had fun and definitely welcome back for another game.

We've done a fair few escape rooms now and this has got to be the most challenging, well thought out and detailed one so far. It's so clear to see that this room was designed with a genuine passion, and it told a story, which made it all the more fun. If you are a fan of escape rooms, then add this one to your 'to do' list. It's a really lovely amalgamation of all the other rooms we've done to date, and definitely a solid challenge. Fair play to anyone who completes this as a duo, we failed due to our complete inability to crack one of the puzzles! We still came away buzzing though, which is the main thing. Can't wait to give their new room a try once it's ready. A real winner 🥇

Thank you so much Gemma!
You were a great duo and definitely had the skills and mindset to tackle our room! It's heartwarming to hear that you also appreciated the theme and smaller details we tried to add into the game too. Even though one puzzle may have caught you out, I still count it as a win in my books and was certainly an entertaining escape to host! Not to mention most of the other puzzles you cracked much faster than average. More than welcome back when we have our next challenge open!!
Best wishes,
Jamie

A fantastic addition to Worthing. This escape room oozes class and quality from start to finish. The story is solid and is woven through the game, the puzzles are varied and challenging and there is a USP at the end that I've not seen before. You won't be disappointed.

A new escape room in Worthing and me and the team were excited to play.
We have collectively done over 150 escape rooms and this did not disappoint, in fact it brought something we'd never seen before which had us buzzing.
The owners are really friendly, everything was COVID-safe and it felt really well done and well polished.
If you get the chance to do this escape room whilst in the area you won't regret it.

Had an excellent time playing and doing rather well at all three of the Mindworks games last weekend.
Smuggler's Ruin - lots of clever touches, physical mechanisms and great puzzles. We were able to split up and cover ground well and had a great time with brilliant hosting.
Mission Berlin - The most traditional of the three rooms in my mind, well themed and lots to do.
Trapped for Cash - fantastic room, loads of clever puzzles and a great original format that keeps the tension up and keeps you in the room for (most of) the full hour regardless of your team's ability/experience. Came out with a massive grin and knackered!
All the hosts were enthusiastic and kept in character well and were fun to chat to after the experiences. Highly recommended.

We did this for my daughters 21st birthday and had a fab time. The staff were good enough to open just yo accommodate (this escape rooom is usually closed in a Monday).
The host was amazing and really made us feel welcome and valued.
Would thoroughly recommend!!

It was our first time doing an escape room and it did not disappoint!
I came across Mindworks via google when I was trying to find something to do to celebrate a birthday. There are three locations to choose from so we picked Berlin.
We were greeted by a themed actor who explained everything to us then set us on our way!
Everything was done really well. There were several rooms with lots of tasks throughout.
We had a fantastic time and can’t wait to go back to try another!
It was also reasonably well priced and we picked up a flyer for £5 off our next visit!

This is one of the best escape room venues around. Trapped For Cash ranks as one of my favourites of 130 rooms I've done, and Smuggler's Ruin isn't far behind. The puzzles are so elegant, the sets are great and they are just so much fun to play. Both games are unique and stand out amongst others in the UK. Our hosts were fantastic, particularly Fogg who was exceptional in Smuggler's Ruin - I can't see anyone else playing their role. The owner Jamie was and great host too and we had a lovely chat after.
This venue seem overshadowed by others in the area, but they truly are fantastic games and I can't recommend them enough

Wow... what a review!!! Especially with 130 rooms under your belt. Amazing, thank you so much Adam. You guys (obviously) smashed the rooms... especially Trapped For Cash. We still can't believe that £144k score as a team of 2... madness!! Well done!
Grand Admiral Fogg and Producer Jamie are so chuffed with your super kind comments, thank you! :)

I visited with 2 boys aged 13. As soon as you get in the doors the scene is set. Safety video is given first. The lady looking after us was fantastic and kind and put us immediately at ease. She allowed us to play and would slip in a few clues whilst she was in role (we were first timers and a little hopeless to start). All the rooms were fantastically laid out with different puzzles to solve leading you to the next. Loved the idea of the dark passageway and the lamps to guide us through. The chap also acting and scaring us was super in role.
I would recommend this experience.
Thank you Mindworks

Thank you for the lovely words and 5 stars! Really glad you had a great time and our staff looked after you well. It's nice to hear that you enjoyed the spooky Halloween version of the game too; I hope you gave those ghostly voices some attitude back!
