The Man From Sector Six is the fourth in the award-winning series created by Henry Lewis, the Olivier winning writer and star of internationally acclaimed ‘The Play That Goes Wrong’ and host of ITV’s ‘Riddiculous’ quiz show.
When you open the box, you’ll discover a newspaper cutting and a locked, official-looking document portfolio that was left behind by a mysterious agent who suddenly appeared and then disappeared again. You’ll also learn that the agent left behind a dire warning about a monumental peril facing humanity, setting the stage for an urgent and totally immersive challenge.
Multiple brainteasers and locks, featuring a variety of puzzle types, will put your team of detectives’ problem-solving skills to the test. You will also need to uncover and hack into a hidden website to discover more clues about this secretive agency.
The inclusion of real-world objects such as a brass rotating cipher wheel and a complex data chip that serve as clues, ensures a truly authentic and engaging home escape room experience like no other. This meticulous attention to authentic design for all elements keeps players fully absorbed in the mystery all the way through.
Nothing gets damaged during play, making it fully resettable so you can share with others afterwards. Reset instructions are provided online.
The Man From Sector Six escape room is recommended for 1-6 players from 12 years to adult, encouraging entertaining teamwork or providing a thrilling solo adventure. If you do get stuck, help is available for each puzzle. The help is graded from very little ‘hints’nudges’ through to giving you the full answer.

Just finished this fantastic game. Highly recommended to everyone.

The best one of these we have ever played, and we have played a lot! Can’t wait to order the others now! The quality of the items was so much better than similar games. The story and plot were super – and it’s so nice to not be solving a murder!

I enjoyed it, but what seems to be a mistake in the colours of the scribbles left me needing a hint when really it shouldn’t have, which seems an odd mistake for all the meticulous preparation.
Otherwise the puzzles lead from one to the next pretty swiftly and enjoyably.

Thank you Paul, we truly appreciate your observation and will consider for future productions. We are glad you enjoyed it overall.

Did this with my 12 yr old son and we both really enjoyed it. The folder looks and feels fantastic, and the puzzles flow logically, never leaving you stuck on what to do next.
I found the puzzle difficulty fairly light (we only needed 1 hint through the whole thing) but I’d caveat that by saying I do a LOT of ‘home escape room’ experiences, so your mileage may vary.
There’s only 2 things that stop this being a 5 star review.
The first is it’s a shame the theme of sector 6 (which I won’t mention here to avoid spoilers) wasn’t incorporated more, other than a newspaper article. I was hoping it would be included at a deeper level i.e. have things change on the website as a result of your actions, maybe some use of video, but sadly not.
Secondly, the end is somewhat of an anti-climax. You type in the solve and…that’s it. Some video or audio would have been nice, instead you just get some short text to read, which feels a bit flat as an ending.
This seems to be a trend in the field at the moment, which is a shame. Not too long ago, completing one of these experiences would reward you with a video at the end, or an email from an in-game character, or unlock a physical reward in the package.
Now we just tend to get a message saying “Well done”.
Regardless, this was another fun, recommended experience from the Mystery Agency.

The game was good overall put the first padlock into the folder was set incorrectly which did ruin the experience. This felt like a big miss in terms of attention to detail.

Hi Emily
We were sorry to hear about your experience, but I am pleased that we were able to reach a satisfactory resolution with you.

Such a great puzzle! It kept us gripped for a happy Sunday afternoon. The production design and values are fantastic. We’d been looking forwards to this one and it didn’t disappoint!
