Here are a few of the Frequently Asked Questions we’ve had, or that we ourselves have asked when doing other rooms. If you don’t see an answer to your question, get in touch with us via email or Facebook, we cannot always answer phone calls unfortunately.

  • 16 Years – 106 Years = £25 per person

Please do not arrive more than 5 minutes early, you will be turned away. This allows us time between bookings to make sure you get the best experience, allowing our team to reset the room fully and allow other teams the chance to receive a debrief.

If you are late we will start your room timer without you. you will be able to play whatever time is remaining after your mandatory safety briefing. This is so the next team are not effected by any lateness and to give our staff time to reset and sanitise the room between groups. 

we will not be able to refund or reschedule any missed games. 

In its simplest form an Escape Room is a game where you have to solve puzzles to ‘escape’ from a dangerous fictional situation or character within a time frame, usually 60 minutes. 

Our games are designed for all ages to enjoy, with a mix of complex and simple puzzles. The whole family will have a whole load of fun. We have many puzzles that are suitable for any ability.  With prior warning we can accomodate customers with visual or hearing impairments. 

None of our rooms contain live actors or any horror elements.

Be comfortable! You will be searching high and low, you may have to get down to the floor and we use CCTV and really don’t want to see anything you wouldn’t show to Grandma! We also recommend sensible footwear. You may have to walk upstairs if you need the loo or are playing one of our upstairs games. There’s also a high chance you’ll be standing for about an hour. You can arrive in heels and change if you want. We reserve the right to forcefully remove any studded boots such as football boots or stilettos as they may damage the flooring.

As we are on the second floor of a building, unfortunately we are not wheelchair accessible at the moment.

Sure, as long as they are well behaved and you call us ahead to let us know! Your pupper must be toilet trained and on a lead at all times. We may even be able to hide a few yummy treats for them to find whilst you play! But we will always ask permission first! 

You will never be physically locked in a room, you will have access to the main hallway at all times. This does not mean you have an easy escape. This is for emergencies only. In the case of fire or medical emergency, all magnetic locks will automatically unlock.
