FAQ

Escapism is a live escape room experience. You will be locked in a room for 60 minutes and challenged to hunt clues & solve puzzles to make your escape.

Each room is designed around a different story or experience. We want to creatively challenge your brain and spark your imagination!

Live escape rooms appeal to all. Teams can be made of friends, family, work colleagues etc. A fantastic form of team building for a corporate event or a great warm up for a birthday/stag/hen party.

Of course! In The Missing there is a part of the room that may require some crouching but only one person of the group is needed to do this. There may also be a few loud noises to be aware of.

If you enjoy puzzles, problem solving, and working as a team, Escapism puts all of those skills to the test in our fun themed rooms.

We have five rooms with up to 30 players an hour - find out more about our rooms.

Yes, absolutely. All of our rooms are monitored by our staff and have been designed to be a fun, challenging experience. If, for whatever reason, you want to leave the room, you can at anytime.

We’re open 10am - 10pm 7 days a week. We are only closed on Christmas Day and have limited opening times over the Christmas period.

We can confirm that our venue does have wheelchair access. Very few aspects of the game require physical movements but we do advise that at least one member of the team does not have mobility problems. Sadly, our The Missing room is not wheelchair accessible. Bookings for our other rooms would require a minimum of 1 able bodied person.

Some clues may require the ability to hear. If there are any members who may be hard of hearing, please inform us prior to your arrival so we can cater for this. A sound will be made on occasions to alert people to clues, so it is advisable to have at least one member of the group who can hear.

Some parts of the Mueseum Heist room are a little smaller than others so may be difficult to turn a wheelchair depending on size, please contact us for more details.

The majority of clues and puzzles are visual ones.
