Great family fun, frustrating and rewarding at the same time. Lots of chatting, laughs and celebrations. Proud of ourselves 😁

We had such a great time. It was our first escape adventure. Definitely worth doing with tweens and teens. We would love to do it again.

I completed both fbi and the Tesla room, the fbi was fun and enjoyable very worth it.
The Tesla room was out of this world!! I have now completed 40 rooms and this one was the best by far, even compared to the ones in Bali and Thailand that I have done, the technology used is amazing, I wish I could say more but I don’t want to spoil anything. The staff are very friendly and if I could give this a higher rating I would.
Couldn’t have asked for a better time. (And I know a thing or two about escape rooms)
Well done!

Have been here before but took the family with some primary school aged children. Very entertaining and fun way to spend a dreary day. Would have to book in advance as at present they have less spaces due to Covid but this is likely to change soon. Thanks.

We did the FBI room, family of four (two older teens). This was our second escape room as a family. I found the clues tricky, but we were able to manage our way through what we needed to.
Didn't realise it until we'd finished but this was one of their more difficult rooms. Clever finish to this one. (We finished with 18 minutes to spare). I think four people was a good number for a team.
Unlimited number of clues available via walkie-talkies.
We nearly booked another one straight away because we enjoyed it so much but they were all booked out - recommend you book well in advance!

Took our two grandsons aged 9 and 11 and had a brilliant time. Luckily the children are quite smart and we managed to get to the end in 60 mins 25 seconds. Quite a few clues from the staff member who seemed to take pleasure helping the boys. We chose one of the easier rooms, think it was India Jones , very appropriate for 2 young boys. They want to go again for their birthdays. Staff are great. Definitely recommend this experience

What is the maximum number of people allowed in a room at a time?

Hi there, we recommend maximum 6 per room, sometimes teams will have 7 which works most of the time. We have 4 rooms open now so we can have up to 24 ish people per slot.
Feel free to call us if you have any other questions :-)

Hi,

Hi there, the premises definitely is. The missile room is 100% accessible. The cabin room can be but requires a little work around on your part (very happy to explain over the phone if you wanted to call me) and the prison currently is not as it's in a seperate building up some stairs, but the new room we are designing at the moment will also acessible as it's in our main building. Bathrooms are also. I hope that helps?
