What is it?
This high-spec set of escape rooms close to Aldgate East tube has proven a real draw for a few years now. There are four different escape rooms, with most, it has to be said, with a hint of the nightmarish about them (think Hotel of Horrors, Psycopath’s Den, and the perhaps-too-close-to-home Patient Zero 2150, where you’ll have to prevent a plague of biblical proportions). But what’s the point of an escape room without a bit of peril?
Why go?
To test out whether you really would be able to survive armageddon.
Don’t miss
AIM has a fifth game that’s less anchored to fear, and instead pulls on your heartstrings. With Come Home, you’ve got an hour to fix a cute little robot passed down through the family. And if you don’t? Sweet Gregg the robot gets wiped forever. Bless his little circuit boards.
When to visit
AIM’s escape rooms are available to book between 10am and 10pm Monday to Sunday.
