  • Is there an age limit for players?
    Whilst our games are not designed specifically for children and some of the puzzles may be tricky and confusing for the younger ones, our games are family friendly and suitable for ages as follows; Escape The 80s: minimum age 10+ Jungle Jailbreak: minimum age 12+ The Lab: minimum age 10+ Mobbery! minimum age 13+ Teams with players under 16 years of age must contain a minimum of one supervising adult (over 18) playing in the team. All players (adults & children) pay the same cost per person regardless of age.
  • How long does the game last?
    You have 60 minutes to complete your mission, plus a safety briefing before and a de-briefing and photo op afterwards. We suggest you allow a total of 80-90 minutes for your experience.
  • What should I wear?
    Whatever you like! Coming straight from the office, or on a night out, even in fancy dress! Just wear whatever you feel comfortable in* *We are a family friendly venue so please bear this in mind (no birthday suits or anything considered offensive) Also, we would suggest comfortable shoes :)
  • Are your games unique?
    Most certainly! We design all our own adventures and do not sell them to other escape rooms. You are guaranteed a completely unique and fun experience!
  • Are your games scary?
    No. We have designed all our games to be family friendly, but beware! this does not mean that they are easy! it just means there will be no jump scares, live actors or spookiness.
  • Do you have any tips for a successful escape?
    We love to play escape rooms ourselves and our main tips for making a successful escape are; 1. Communicate with your teammates - Shout out what you see, what you find, what types of codes you need. 2. Divide and Conquer - Don't all crowd round one puzzle, split up, work on different things, all the while communicating what you are doing and what puzzles you have completed. 3. Search, search and search some more - When you think you have checked everything and everywhere, check again. There's normally something you haven't spotted first time. Let others check things, sometimes it just needs a pair of fresh eyes. 4. Listen to the little ones - Children so often see things we adults miss. Listen to their ideas, they are often on the right track. 5. Play to your strengths - each team member brings something different to the game, try to use everyone's individual strengths at the right times on the right puzzles. 6. Finally, and above all else, HAVE FUN! Even if your team don't manage to escape, make sure you all had a really good time trying :)
