FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is Escape?
Escape is a team game ideally for 2-6 people. We lock your team in a room and the goal of the game is to escape within 60 minutes. This is achieved by completing a series of challenges which allow you to unlock the next one and eventually the safe which contains the key for the door.
Why Escape?
It is different, challenging and great fun. Perfect for friends, family and co-workers. We can provide for small and large groups and are more than happy to listen to individual requests and accommodate them where we can.
I am claustrophobic, can I play?
There is a spare key so you are never really "locked" in. The rooms are quite large but should you feel more comfortable we could leave the room unlocked.
Is there a minimum or maximum team size?
Our rooms can accommodate between 2 and 6 players, though some are limited to 5 players. Please see individual rooms for details. If you have a larger group you will need to book multiple rooms.
How much time will we need to play?
We book you in for an hour and half. This allows us to brief you, give you an hour in the room and then speak to you afterwards regarding your experience.
I would like to play with my colleagues as a team building exercise. Is it possible?
Yes, please see our corporate page.
How do I book Escape?
Through our booking page, over the phone at 07778 105776, or simply come and see us!
Is Escape accessible?
We are located up a couple of flights of stairs, so those customers using mobility aids may want to contact us before booking.
I am driving to Escape, is parking available?
The closest car park is the Vineyard Street Car Park, a short walk away from our premises.
Is there an age restriction?
While there is no restriction on age, the puzzles may be too demanding for those under 10. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult as part of the group in the room.
What should we wear when playing?
No special attire is required.
How do I travel to Escape via public transport or on foot?
From the High Street, turn down St Nicholas Street, keep walking across Long Wyre Street, and we’re on the left as you pass Priory Walk.
Anything else I should know?
Anyone attending under the influence of drinks or drugs will not be allowed to participate in the games.
