   We had an absolute blast at Oscar’s birthday party on Sunday. ‘Paint Splat was the best thing ever’ said everyone. The kids thoroughly enjoyed the session and everyone on the team without exception was helpful, kind, a lot of fun and extremely patient. It was well organised, and our brilliant Marshall Prisca had everyone under control - 10 boys and one girl! The food was great, it arrived on time and there was plenty to go around. The cake was great and very tasty! A brilliant day out - fantastic for a kids party and I’d thoroughly recommend it!

   Fantastic experience! 1st ever escape room certainly won’t be our last, just hope the others live up to our visit to Bunker 51! The interior was well decorated and the vibe hits you as soon as you enter the building. The staff are great and we were shortly introduced to our attendant who was greeted is in character which helped set the tone for our time there. The escape room was well thought out with some puzzles taking us far longer than they should have in reality, but that was probably due to the zombie who was chained up trying to grab you. The hour flew by, and although we didn’t manage to escape we did get 3 out of the 5 clues, although some of these were with some help from the staff, thankfully or we would probably have gotten zero. Thanks to all for such a fantastic afternoon.

   Took my 14 year old son here with some friends for his birthday, they had a great time. It’s a little hidden but once you get there the team are really helpful and the whole experience was really fun! For an indoor arena it wasn’t bad, only down sides I would say was the smell, a little more ventilation would REALLY help. Other than that there was a few issues with the guns (dead batteries, pellets jamming and being stuck on full auto) OTHERWISE it was a good day out for the lads!!!

   We filmed a music video last month at Bunker 51 and left incredibly happy to have chosen this location! We had a zombie themed video for a metal band called Detoxen and this post-apocalyptic setting was perfect for our narrative. The staff were very courteous and always had prompt responses. Their hire rates are also very generous, especially for London prices. Apart from a filming perspective, I play airsoft regularly and this place is perfect for CQB. Many flanking paths and cover spaces in both arenas. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great experience!

   Attended today to try this place with 3 friends before one leaves for a new training period… First off make sure to book at least two days in advance if you want a specific time otherwise they don’t have staff working When we arrived the staff were fun and really nice - we put our things in the lockers (which require £1 coin which should’ve been included) We then went through to the laser tag area - got split into teams and went in separately… the arena surprisingly was quite big and fun but pretty slippery! Once we got in, the teams were switched despite being told to go in as teams which wasn’t the best start but we had a great game (with another group joining mid way through the game) The second game was a bit messy with one of our packs stopping working The third game was an ultimate disaster, 3/4 of our packs stopped working not once but multiple times, the person running it didn’t pay attention and we had to fully leave 3 times while he was talking to a friend or colleague (and there were no spare packs on) - he then said he’d reset someone on the other team to try and balance it and instead reset our team and the whole time complained about rushing to leave! I was extremely disappointed by this as we’d already lost so much of our 1 hour slot and no partial refund, extra game or anything was offered, which to me is not the best service and as someone who reviews a lot of places, wouldn’t recommend for this reason! The fourth game at this point was lacklustre and had already left us with a poor experience! Very disappointed as this was a surprise for a friend, if things had worked out and we’d actually got the experience we paid (a lot) for - then this review would be vastly different! We were considering returning for the escape room/paintball beforehand but likely won’t return now! We also did not receive any sort of record of results as stated on the website! I will say Ryan(?) working reception was nice and welcoming to take some positives and very much something adults can do ✨
