We have the honour of obtaining a 2017, 2018, and 2019 Tripadvisor Certificate Of Excellence. In 2020 Tripadvisor changed this to the Travellers' Choice Awards. Both Nottingham and Sheffield obtained these awards in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024.

The Sheffield Escape Room acquired the game Afterlife which was a winner of a blogger's Golden Key Award.

Nottingham's Escape Room Daylight Robbery got ranked #1 as voted for by Escape Room Players on Escape The Review in 2020, and continued in the top spot in 2021. The Logic Escapes Me also gave Daylight Robbery a Golden Key award in 2022. Daylight Robbery and Dreamscape in Nottingham were in the top-50 Escape Rooms as voted on Escape The Review. Both of these games have also featured in the TERPECA annual Escape Room awards.

In 2022 Cryptology acquired Incarcerated Escape Rooms in Swindon. Their games did not need much refinement, we installed our state-of-the-art Clue System provided by ER Tempus Escape Room Software which is used in every branch.

The Elf is very excited. Christmas is coming, and the testing of their Ho Ho Hurry Up Game is nearly concluded. 
We have opened up additional games on Friday 29th November and Saturday 30th November. Hope to see you then!

Complete In Time

Your nemesis will be a ticking clock, complete your riddles, puzzles and challenges within the time limit to claim victory!

Test Your Wits And Teamwork In Nottingham, Sheffield, and Swindon’s Ultimate Escape Rooms

Gather your team, pick your theme, and prepare for an unforgettable experience! The door closes and you hear the lock turn. As you recount your surroundings you’ve realised that you’ve not just entered an escape room, you’ve stepped into another world. The clock is ticking and who knows what fate awaits you if you fail…
…time is running out, use your hour wisely.

Cryptology goes beyond just an escape room, this is an immersive experience. Search for secrets, discover clues and hints, then solve puzzles to reach the unique goal. Every game at Cryptology is different with tailor-made themes and bespoke challenges.
With fantastic game flow, handcrafted set design, and unique puzzles - our games are admired by enthusiasts, gamers, families, and friends alike. Our games are immersive and rewarding and we pride ourselves on great customer service and banter too.

Use Brains, Not Brawn

Bring out your strengths and work together to overcome your weaknesses. Solve real-life problems and puzzles with your team. Gather codes, solve riddles, reveal hidden locations, find crucial artifacts. Cryptology makes you and your fellow escape artists solve the challenge using mental, physical, psychological and behavioral tests. Your nemesis is the ticking clock. Can you interpret hidden messages? Do you have an eye for detail? Can you think outside the box? Solve the mystery, become the solution.

When the game gets tough, teamwork is required to reach the goal. Can you and your team work together to solve all of the answers before the clock runs out? Can you find the hidden clues, break out, disarm the device, foil the doctor’s nefarious plan? Thousands have attempted, many have succeeded, but hundreds have perished. What will happen to you?

Cryptology encourages you to use brains, not brawn
