🗝️ The Best Escape Rooms Cornwall Has to Offer – Two Unique Adventures in St Ives

July 14, 2025

Whether you're a family on holiday, a group of thrill-seeking friends, or a couple looking for a rainy-day activity, Escape Time St Ives delivers one of the most immersive and exciting escape rooms Cornwall has to offer.

Located in the heart of beautiful St Ives, our two themed rooms—The Lost Treasure of Pirate Kernow and The St Ives Slayer—offer completely different experiences that are perfect for all kinds of players, from beginners to seasoned escapees.

🏴‍☠️ The Lost Treasure of Pirate Kernow – Family Fun for All Ages

Ahoy, adventurers! Step aboard the legendary pirate ship of Captain Kernow and hunt for his long-lost treasure in this fun, family-friendly escape room. Designed for kids aged 8+ and up, this room is packed with nautical props, hidden compartments, and clever puzzles that require teamwork and communication.

Whether you’re celebrating a children’s birthday party in Cornwall or just looking for a unique way to entertain the family, this pirate-themed escape room is the perfect pick.

⭐ "Brilliant fun for the whole family! Our kids (ages 9 and 12) were fully immersed from the start. Great balance of challenge and fun."
– Sarah T., TripAdvisor

🔪 The St Ives Slayer – A Chilling Challenge for Teens and Adults

For those who prefer a darker thrill, The St Ives Slayer turns up the intensity. You and your team have been captured by a mysterious cannibal killer who’s been terrorising the town. Can you escape his lair before you become his next meal?

This horror-themed room is PG-13 and not recommended for young children or the faint of heart—but it’s a huge hit with older teens and adults who love suspense and jump scares.

⭐ “Absolutely terrifying in the best way! The design, the puzzles, the tension—everything was spot-on. Definitely not for the easily spooked!”
– James P., Google Review
