Ready to save the world again? Handmade Mysteries Operation Mindfall

Operation Mindfall is the most augmented reality outdoor hunting game to hit London turning all budding detectives saying “my name is Bond, (your name) Bond”.

Firstly let me give you top secret information about  Handmade Mysteries who provide some of the best escape rooms in London in my opinion.

Handmade Mysteries

Handmade Mysteries takes any escape room enthusiast into great live-action team adventure games which are full of mystery, colourful characters and ludicrously twisted puzzles.  With all their immersive escape rooms and street game experiences they provide fun fuelled challenges all whilst racing against the clock.

At present they have two escape rooms which can be played in several different locations across London and Brighton:

  • Lady Chasitity’s Reserve
    This immersive experience challenges you and friends with an hour of hilarious clue solving as you attempt to win Chastity’s fabled aphrodisiac wine.  Click here to read our blogs/reviews when I and some others played their game a while back.

Escape room recommendations

Escape rooms have become more and more popular and elaborate with some bordering nearly on the immersive side.
