New to escape rooms? Don't worry, they're easier to get into than you might think, and our Game Masters look after you the whole way. An escape room is a live, immersive game where your group is locked into a themed room and works together to find clues, solve puzzles and escape before your 60 minutes are up. No experience is needed, just curiosity, teamwork and a sense of fun. Here's exactly how a game works, from the moment you arrive to the final countdown.
Talk to each other. The single biggest thing that helps teams escape is communication. Say what you find out loud, share your clues, and shout up if you spot something, because the answer is often already in someone else's hands.
Search everything, then search again. Look high and low, open anything that opens, and keep your used clues separate from the unused ones so you don't go round in circles.
Split up and play to your strengths. With a bigger group, divide and conquer: let the logical minds tackle the codes while others search, then regroup whenever you hit a big puzzle.
Use your hints. Asking for a hint isn't cheating, it's part of the game. Our Game Master would always rather nudge you forward than watch you stay stuck, so just ask.
Watch the clock, but enjoy it. Keep half an eye on the time, but remember the goal is to have fun together. Whether you escape with seconds to spare or run out of time, you'll leave with a great story to tell.
