Above and beyond in a Galaxy far, far away….

Truly amazing.

From meeting them and booking, to two changes of date due to covid, David and the team where just amazing. Always great communication and always willing to answer any questions!

We had a bespoke Star Wars game created and it was fantastic! We could tell how much thought had gone into creating it and they really made it work for us!

Everyone at the wedding loved the game and David made sure everyone had a good chance to get out!! It created a real talking point and a good bit of competition and laughter!!

I could not recommend this more, a great way to offer your guests something exciting, fun and a real memory on your wedding day.

Wedding July 2024

After some initial meetings and back and forth, Game Lab took our ideas and made them into a reality. It was so good being able to play the game ourselves as well. Many of our guests have complimented enjoyment on this unique entertainment experience and have since gone to escape rooms themselves. The booking in system and liaising with the venue and our guests made the experience smooth and stress-free.

Thanks so much for making our day even more special, A&C x

Fun alternative wedding entertainment option!

My husband and I had an October wedding and wanted to do something a bit different to help entertain guests in the evening that was also not weather dependent. So after discovering them on Hitched, we booked Gamelab’s mobile escape room, and we are so glad we did!

All the time slots on the night got fully booked very quickly by our guests and we got so many compliments from them on what fun the escape room was. One guest who has done quite a few mobile escape rooms, said it was the best he’d ever done!

As the bride and groom I think we got offered a little bit more help than the other groups but from other guests’ comments the escape room was the right level of difficult to challenge but also be doable in under 10 minutes.

The Gamelab team were responsive, friendly and flexible to deal with. We asked for a Star Wars theme and they did a great job theming the clues and decor. They discreetly got guests signed up to ensure as many people made the most of them, and they flexed their timings around the cake cut and first dance, which was much appreciated. The photobook and gift at the end was a lovely, fun touch too.

Would definitely recommend Gamelab if you’re looking to add a fun twist to your wedding entertainment!

Mrs Rebecca Barrs

We are so glad that we booked Gamelab for our special day. As huge fans of escape rooms, we thought it’d be a great idea to book one and it was the talking point of the night. Us and our guests thoroughly enjoyed the experience and it was great to have some friendly competition between the teams. The Gamelab gents were pleasant and professional. We’d thoroughly recommend!

Brilliant wedding entertainment!

We had The Game Lab at our wedding reception in June and it went down a treat! We and our guests loved taking part in the escape room experience, it was so much fun and was something different to add to our wedding day to keep our guests entertained! David and Mark were really helpful in the lead up to the day and were brilliant hosts on the day too!

Unique experience that our guests loved

We came across Gamelab at a wedding fair and we had never heard of an escape room at a wedding before, so knew we had to give it a try. It was such an unique experience that all of our guests loved and are still talking about after the event.

They personalised the theme to fit with our festival themed wedding and even managed to work our dog into the clues and part of the fun. The team were great at working with us and were really flexible on the day in relation to timings. The competitive element in relation to timings also added a bit of fighting spirit.

The only downside was as we only had a small window not everyone got to give it a go, but those that did had a great time. It definitely helped our wedding stand out and kept the guests entertained.

Thanks again and I'm sure you'll soon need to invest in another horsebox to meet the demand.

Amazing experience and being very inclusive

Our guests had an amazing time and we loved playing the game too. We had so many comments about what a unique experience it was. Everything ran smoothly. We loved that David and Mark were very accommodating of a young autistic guest who wanted to be involved and they included him in giving him a role for each game. We would highly recommend! It was great fun.

Excellent Wedding Experience

The wedding-themed escape room was incredibly creative and immersive. The puzzles were well-crafted and perfectly ran by the great team. It was a unique and fun experience for our group, adding a memorable twist to wedding celebrations. Highly recommended for everyone even if you are an escape room novice.

Wedding 7th September 202r

The team and their escape room experience topped off a perfect wedding day. Couldn't have been more pleasant and professional. Every guest was blown away by the taking part with many now wanting to do more escape rooms. Cannot recommend highly enough. Try it, you will not be disappointed.

Amazing service!

Our wedding guests absolutely loved what Escape Room had on offer. David and his team had turned up on time, set everything up in a seamless way and made sure that our guests had the most enjoyable and interesting experience of engaging with Escape Room. After, we were given a book of memories including digital photos. This little touch had literally exceeded our expectations. We are super grateful to David and his team and feel that they did go out of their way to make sure we and our guests had the best experience! Thank you!!!!

Super fun and unusual wedding entertainment!

We came across The Gamelab at a wedding fair and I'm so glad we did! We love board games and escape rooms so this was perfect for us and our guests, who signed up straight away and had a blast playing! Everyone told us how much fun they'd had and we were all super competitive!

We weren't sure if it was going to work out with the escape room vehicle being a short (30 second) walk from the main venue as our wedding was in November, but it all worked out totally fine.

Fully recommend The Gamelab, thank you for making our day so special!

What a brilliant way to entertain guests- especially if you are nerdy!

We wanted an original and unique way to entertain our guests and these guys delivered! Not only were they flexible, fun and enthusiastic they were professional and dedicated to making our wedding plans run as smoothly as possible. We requested a bespoke escape room experience and this was not a problem. If you want to have a fun 'every guest talking about your wedding' entertainment, then this is for you.
