What a wonderful place :) We discovered it today, after dropping in for a mini mixology session where the kids got to make their own special drinks, complete with edible glitter. It was a lovely touch that they used beakers and all 3 staff members I had the pleasure to speak to were very nice and helpful. The vibes are cool and the drinks menu is very tempting. While there the escape rooms seemed popular and I had a sneak peek of the Wonderland room - looked ace!

My Son and his friend did 'The Butchering' escape room for his birthday. I think they used every clue available but they are only 15 haha. They enjoyed it though. The bar area was lovely and relaxing and the lads that worked there were very helpful and informative. We will be back, preferably when i've had my baby and can try the cocktails that look amazing!

First time experience for myself with my niece and nephew. Great friendly service and a great experience trying to solve the puzzles in the room to work out and escape the room. Great fun and would recommend as a great experience. We were challenged and got stuck at various points but overcoming as a group was extremely satisfying. Will be doing again in the future for sure.

Spent the evening with my sister and mum and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The room was great fun (completed it too which was an added bonus). When we arrived we were greeted with big smiles and Alix who served us was extremely helpful and polite, he provided excellent costumer service and the drinks served went down a treat. Great atmosphere, would definitely recommend.

Myself, Mum & Sister recently enjoyed a few hours at the Escapologist, we booked the 'Sherlocked in' room as a birthday treat for mum, first we enjoyed some beautifully made cocktails in the bar area, we were served by Alix who was so welcoming, and gave excellent service throughout our visit! Alix showed us to our room and gave us the briefing, we managed to escape the room in 45 minutes, Alix congratulated us and took a group photo of us. Our full experience was brilliant 👏 I would definitely recommend, excellent service, delicious cocktails and a fun activity!!
People Also Ask
Will I be blindfolded when entering the escape room?
It depends on your group's preference for immersion. If you prefer not to be blindfolded, simply inform your Games Master, and your request will be respected. We want you to fully enjoy your experience.
Can I apply a discount code to packages or pre-booked drinks?
Unfortunately, discount or promotional codes cannot be used in conjunction with packages or pre-booked drinks, as these are already offered at a discounted rate. Please refer to our terms and conditions for more details.
What is the minimum age requirement for escape rooms?
Most of our experiences have a minimum age of 8. However, some rooms may require participants to be 10-12 years old depending on difficulty, and certain horror-themed games have a minimum age of 15.
Do children need to be accompanied by an adult?
Players aged 13 and under must have a parent or guardian pay and participate with them. If you are 16 or under, an adult must remain on the premises for the duration of your booking.
What if I feel anxious or panic during the escape room?
There's no need to worry! All doors within our escape rooms remain unlocked at all times, ensuring an easy exit if you need to step out for any reason.
What if I forget to apply a discount code during booking?
Once a booking is paid for, the transaction is final, and we cannot retroactively apply discount codes. We recommend contacting us directly before completing your booking if you encounter any issues with applying a code.
How can I change or move my booking?
We can accommodate booking changes or transfers based on availability. An administrative charge, ranging from £1.50 to £4.50, will apply, with the fee increasing closer to your original booking date. Please contact us as soon as possible to arrange any amendments.
