Excellent Christmas experience. A great version on a classic, enjoyed the interaction with the cast. Santa was fantastic, had my doys fortnite dancing and knows his stuff. A right jolly old elf.

Was an amazing experience, I personally found it fairly scary. The actors were amazing. We did the Ghost walk which was great, I just couldn't relax because I thought someone was always gonna jump out at me!!! Would recommend

This was a brilliant, and unique, experience. The challenges were varied and interesting, the actors (esp Mr Fogg) were believable and entertaining and the group had so much fun.
Would def come again if in the area and would recommend for all ages.
Keep up the great work, folks!

Mid Covid/September, Went as a couple and it was one of the highlights of our stay at home "mini moon"
Staff/Set Dressing/Puzzles and Overall Experience was like nothing else.
Closest thing is the Crystal Maze as you are hosted all the way through, and it makes it so much more than a series of small "escape rooms".
Puzzles were balanced and multiple paths and difficulties were offered at every turn.
Loved it!

A great time was had by all. The puzzles were pitched just right, the constant moving along kept things from getting boring. Highly recommended local attraction.

We went on the Polar Express plus Grotto experience today...... and it was absolutely brilliant! The characters are amazing and you are literally immersed in the experience. We all laughed so hard our cheeks hurt.
It was worth every penny and it was the best Christmas experience we have had to date! My 5 year old asked if we can go again next year and without hesitation I said yes!

Amazingly Immersive! The reception was very friendly and helpful! Despite a lot of groups being late they still managed to run things smoothly. The bar area and all other scenes you walk through are brilliantly made and combined with the brilliant acting it makes the whole experience such a joy. The team challenges & puzzles faced inside are lots of fun and range from easily done to bloody difficult :D A very fun evening !

A big group of us went for a work outing. I didn't know what to expect, and I couldn't have imagined what it actually was. It's not an escape room, but there are puzzles, and you travel with your team to different lands, all of which are themed beautifully. It was like nothing I've done before and I really enjoyed it. Some puzzles were more engaging than others, but all the rooms were stunning and the actors added another dimension to the experience. Highly recommended.

A great day out for the whole family, we went as a family of 6, kids ranging from 7 to 15 (and 2 big people 39 & 44) and all gave a resounding thumbs up. The actors were superb, making the whole family feel included and part of the experience (a huge thanks to you all). Challenges were enjoyed by all the family regardless of age, each area (country) had a selection of challenges for all to enjoy. A big 10 out of 10 from us all and highly recommended.

This is a fantastic attraction for kids, and grownups too.
The sets and cast are amazing. We enjoyed trying to solve the puzzles/challenges.
The staff are also very efficient, and courteous.
You would normally have to travel to London, for such a high class attraction.
I thoroughly recommend a visit.

Went on a stag and it was loads of fun! The people who worked there were enthusiastic and made the whole experience great! The experience itself was much better than any other escape room we'd gone on!
The stag company who booked it for us messed up with our booking but Phileas Foggs were kind enough to accommodate our group and sorted us out - thanks a lot! :)
Would definitely recommend for any sort of group - tonnes of fun!

Wow this place is epic from start to finish. From the beginning you are made to feel so welcome and the decor is so cool.
The acting is none stop throughout the whole experience. The actors and actresses were extremely entertaining and very humourous. We found even at the end they would come and talk to you and ask you if you enjoyed yourself in the bar area which is also so epic. The pub decor is awesome and feels nice to relax in after all the puzzle solving. I will most definitely be going back again and again.

This is one of the best adventures room I have ever been. It's not an escape room, so don't expect it like this. It's more like a tour through wonderful and lovely designed rooms with an exciting guide and challenges in each room. I would recommend it to everyone especially to children!

Very disappointed with the "Polar Express" experience that was advertised as being suitable for all ages. This was not the case, it was aimed at young children and our teenage children were even excluded from most of the "challenges". We raised this on the day with the duty manager who gave us the general managers email address. We emailed the general manager - no response. We emailed the general info email and got a reply saying they would pass our email on to the general manager - no reply. Totally mis-sold, this should have been advertised as for young children. Terrible customer service in not responding to my complaint. And example of one of the "challenges" - placing rings on one of the casts arms - hardly challenging for anyone apart from a young child. If my children had been ten years younger, they would have loved it. Turned out to be a terrible start to their Christmas holiday and a waste of money. Such a shame. I'm sorry I have had to resort to a negative review but the lack of response from the general manager has left me no other option. I'm sure the owner will respond to this trying to make it my fault for not realising what we were booking, or saying they have many teenagers and adults that enjoyed it - it is a shame somebody couldn't be bothered to deal with my complaint directly.

We went as a group of four on a Friday evening and had no real idea of what to expect. Had purposefully not researched beforehand as wanted to go in knowing as little as possible. We were not disappointed. Such a unique and different experience. It was loved by every single one of us, even by a person in our group, who I thought would not really participate. They ended up reverting back to their childhood and was rushing around, shouting out commands and getting involved in absolutely everything. The actors were outstanding and heightened an already enjoyable experience. After, we had some toasted sandwiches and drinks in the bar. The bar area was beautifully decorated in keeping with the theme. Would highly recommend. I will certainly be encouraging all of my friends to go????

Got this as a Groupon deal. Worth every penny, and more. Great styling for the challenges and fun acting from your guide, and the people you meet on your challenge. Good fun and my 10 year old loved it. Looking forward to book and try their new Ripper one ???? coming soon

Fantastic team building event for around 35 of us. Damian was excellent in all of the pre planning and catered for all of our needs. The day itself came together brilliantly and the space was set up to a tee. The activity was so enjoyable and every one of us loved it! Staff at the bar and around the venue were so friendly and i cannot reccomend this place more, if you are looking for a work function/fun away day with your team then look no further. Thanks again all!

Such a wonderful hidden gem of fun in the outskirts of Brighton to celebrate a fantastic night for our friends birthday! The actors, particularly our Phileas Fogg, were just fabulous and we belly laughed all night whilst enjoying being taken on a wonderful journey of adventure, conundrums and witty humour. The only reason I marked down a star was having paid £100 for food for our group of 12, we were provided with literally a few nibbles that any of us could have mustered up for a tenth of the price with a much better and tastier feast. That said, this is definitely an experience that needs to be done and I am looking forward to finding another opportunity to book another go soon. Well done and thank you

We went to try out the Jack the Ripper terror walk today and were completely blown away. The level of detail, accuracy and atmosphere was unmatched. Actors were brilliant and comfortably engaging. I have been to many of the countries best scare attractions and there's not many that live up to this. You are completely immersed in Jack's Whitechapel and feel the fear as you take to the dimly lit cobbled streets through various intimate scenes exploring our capitals dark, murderous history. I would more than recommend, I would award! Hope this section stays.

What a great experience! The cast were amazing and you could tell that they were having fun too, they really bounced off each other and sometimes went totally off script to the amusement to us and the cast. The games were fun and could be a challenge but a fun challenge.
The only thing we didn't like was when we were in the bar having a very good gin as recommended to us by one of the cast, we were asked if we were "ready to go down" so we had to down our drinks while he was standing over us. The man was just doing his job but this tainted the experience a little. I'm not sure why one group has to be escorted out as another comes in.
I would still highly recommend this, we will be laughing about this night for ages.

Such a good laugh, i would highly recommend! i went with one other person and we were put into a group which didn't matter due to the diversity of all of the different challenges.
Personally i think anyone who has put a low star review is a bore and probably wastes their lives sitting at home anyway. I would definitely go again in a heartbeat!

We used online booking system and paid £118 for a 5.15pm adult experience for 4. At 6.30 still queueing so ask for a refund. They took took nearly 3 weeks to pay it. We could have waited on the bar but this was not offered. When we asked for a drink of water in the queue it as denied. Waste of time and Money . Poor customer care. Don't bother and definitely don't pay in advance.

I visited Phileas Fogg's World of Adventures yesterday not knowing what to expect and I thoroughly enjoyed it, as did I believe all twelve people I did it with, including kids!
The puzzles were interesting and fun, and I liked that they weren't ridiculously difficult as that wasn't the point - the point was to immerse yourself in the story! Different people stepped up to different tasks as per their strengths and time flew by! Turns out my jigsaw-filled childhood came in handy!
The sets were amazing and full of surprises - the design of the journey was very clever and well thought out. Yes, a couple were a little dark but you soon adjust. I would say we were ever so slightly too big a group as space was limited but we all came out the other side fine regardless! The snow drift section was by far the best in my opinion: most fun I've had in a while and made me feel like a kid again!
I cannot praise the actors and front of house staff enough, especially Phileas Fogg himself! Had such a laugh, gave us a hint when we were being thick and his ability to go along with us and improvise was amazing to see. Everyone stayed in character and it really made the experience for me.
You can get photos as momentous at the end, and I thought these were very reasonably priced in comparison to some places. Lots of choice of backdrops, and along the journey you take a few different pictures so you can really get the one that suits everyone best.
All in all, I would love to go back if I didn't know all of the puzzles! Thank you guys for the awesome time, and I highly recommend for anyone wanting a family day out.
