Went last night with my husband, really enjoyed it. Its a real life escape game and I've never done anything like it before! Will definitely be going back. You are basically trapped in a room and have find clues, solve puzzles and put lots of information together to work your way out in under an hour.
website is www.challengechambers.ae for anyone interested.

There's a similar concept with a place called Hint Hunt, just wondering if anyone has been to both and which they think is better? It's quite pricey so wanted to get feedback before trying.

Thanks!

I'd quite like the idea of that. like headless chickens all running about the dark bumping into each other:-)

Hi there, I'm not entirely sure how exactly claustrophia effects someone but the room size at Escape Quest was average and although the door is locked we had access to the key to unlock the door and could use it if we wanted (but not to escape). You could also play without the door being locked and it wouldn't detract from the escape at all. I can't say too much on this bit as it would give too much away.

These all sound brilliant. Can you please advise if anyone with claustrophobia would have problems participating? thanks

Hi There, Thanks for the tip off. We tried out Escape Quest at the weekend, we had a brilliant time, though it did almost make my brain explode with the thinking! We escaped but I reckon we could have done it without asking for the clues ha ha. Loved the whole escape thing so much we are off to Hint Hunt this weekend.

Just found this thread. Have tried out a few escape games and have to say ESCAPE QUEST DUBAI in JLT is Fantastic . We did this with two teams battling it out in two separate rooms against the clock and had a blast. You can also do it with just two people . The whole setup was really clever and extremely well thought through. It tests your brain and teamwork ,challenging yet fun .We got and could ask for clues every now and again if we got too stuck. We would definately go back . Great to have something this original in Dubai. Worth a visit.

Hi there, Does anyone have any feedback on Hint Hunt ? I've also found somewhere called Escape Quest and can't decide between the two. I'm looking at these two rather than challenge chambers as I prefer the idea of being along in the room - unless anyone tells me otherwise ! Any feedback on either would be great !

Been hoping for a reply on Hint Hunt since reading your post. Booked for three sons to do Challenge Chamber last week who are 22 and 19 and they absolutely loved it. Saying we should now do the room they've done so not telling us much about it so we can do it too and they want to do another one......So highly recommended by them as say it was amazing! Looked up Hint Hunt after your post and sounds similar so will see if anyone replies about their experiences there. We were away when our sons did the Challenge Chambers here but we found one too in Phuket last week called Secret Chambers so did that with our daughter of 19 who was with us. We really enjoyed it too and chose the Mystery of Ganesha rooms which was three rooms, which opened another secret room of things to solve and one was a laser room to pass through. Which was also amazing. So hoping there is a reply post soon too. <em>edited by Solo on 30/07/2014</em>

My daughter and I did "Escape Hunt" in Bangkok a few days ago which sounds like a similar thing. It was absolutely brilliant and we escaped with 2 mins left on the clock. A really fantastic hour and worth the money, we were wondering if there was a version in Dubai. <em>edited by Fiat500 on 30/07/2014</em>
