FAQ

Escapism is a Live Escape Room experience. We lock you in one of our themed rooms for 60 minutes and then it’s up to you to find clues and solve puzzles to escape in time.

Our rooms are themed around different stories and experiences. We want to creatively challenge your brain and spark your imagination.

Our escape rooms are designed with all in mind. Your team could be friends, family or work colleagues. It’s a fantastic way to break the ice, to team build, or warm up for a night of celebrations, whether that’s a birthday, a stag, or a hen party.

Absolutely you can! Some of our rooms contain loud noises, which can cause a bit of a shock. There is also some crouching required in The Missing and in Forge, however only one player in the group will need to do this.

The rooms contain puzzles, problem solving and team work, we put all these skills to the test at Escapism in our fun themed rooms. However, our Game Hosts are watching carefully, and are on hand if you ever need a helpful hint.

We have six rooms to give you a choice of a variety of different Escapism experiences - you can find out specifics of our rooms here.

The maximum group sizes vary depending on the room, ranging from 2 - 7 players. Check out our Rooms page to see which room is best suited to your group size.

Unfortunately the maximum players we can have in one room is 7 people, but we suggest booking more than one room if you have more players than that and split the team in two. If you have any queries about larger bookings, our team members will be happy to recommend the best solution for your group.

We are open from 10am - 10pm, 7 days a week. We do close on Christmas Day, and have some restricted hours during the holiday period, but these will be clearly advertised and reflected on our website around this time.

Some of our clues require the ability to hear, and when our game hosts send through clues there is an audible alert tone, so we advise that at least one of the group is not hard of hearing. However, if you inform us of any issues prior to your arrival then we can cater for these. The majority of clues and puzzles are visual.
