📖 THE STORY

Your team has been assigned a mission to travel back in time to The Great Fire of London on September 4th, 1666. The entire city has been burning for two days now and they still have not yet captured the culprit behind this devastating event. Is it another attack in the long-running feud with the Catholics? A retaliation in the war with the Dutch? Or is it just an accident? Only the result of your investigation can save the city from chaos.

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

  • "Pudding Lane -1966" accurately depicted a historical moment. We really felt the fire around us. The room was smokey and even the temperature was warmer.

  • The puzzles were beautifully orchestrated into the set design. Each storefront had a mini-puzzle which led to the next. The start of the room made us work together in a linear fashion but gave us a chance to divide and conquer in the latter part.

  • There was a traditional maze puzzle that the creator was able to convert into a more intricate idea that we have never seen before.

  • Our favorite puzzles were the multi-step ones. They really made us think back to what could correlate with each other.

  • The set design always managed to surprise us. You never know where the next hidden reveal would be.

  • The narrative ending gave us a clear explanation of the developing story.

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

  • Nothing to say in this section. We loved everything about the game.

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

"Pudding Lane -1966" is one of our favorite escape rooms on this UK tour. The stunning set design, satiable puzzles, and unique plot took us on a journey that we will never forget. I highly recommend experiencing it yourself if you're in the area.


TimeTrap's escape room themes are built around different time frames that the players can time travel to. The lobby is actually a really cool museum with lots of collectibles throughout history. This is such an innovative concept and we can't wait to time travel again with them!

  • Note: Pudding Lane requires at least one member of your team to be fairly agile – if you can climb over a stile, you should be good!
