A family escape room is the perfect activity for Christmas

The tree is up, the lights are twinkling and the family is gathered together – what better way to share the festive spirit than with an adventure everyone can enjoy? A Christmas family escape room experience, bringing laughter, teamwork and unforgettable holiday fun.

Why an escape room is the ultimate family Christmas activity

Get ready to step into a world of pirates, pharaohs, Vikings and even face Count Dracula himself. Each immersive adventure is designed for groups of 2–6 players and is suitable for ages 8 and up, making it an activity the whole family can enjoy together.

If it’s a bigger family affair (more than 6), don’t worry, we can split you into two teams for some friendly family competition. Go head-to-head and see who can escape in the shortest time!

You’ll crack clues, solve puzzles and race against the clock, all while discovering skills you never knew each other had. It’s teamwork at its most entertaining and the perfect way to make special memories together during the festive season. Our escape rooms are the most adventurous way to bring the family together, add some excitement to your celebrations and do something a little different from the usual holiday activities. Whether you want to search for Blackbeard’s hidden treasure, Atlantis or step into Alice’s shoes and tumble into Puzzleland, there’s something for everyone to enjoy over the holidays.

Our dedicated hosts will be with you every step of the way. They’ll be ready to guide you if you get stuck, need a nudge in the right direction or want an extra clue to help you crack the next puzzle. And don’t worry, you’re never truly locked inside the room, you can step out at any time if you need a breather or a quick break.

To make your experience even more exciting, you can enjoy themed cocktails inspired by our escape games. Try our Drink Me Gin Garden, inspired by our Alice adventures, or for something tropical and fun, our Tiki Treasure, similar to a passionfruit martini, is the perfect choice. There are also plenty of soft options for the kids and you can even add drinks vouchers when booking online – ideal for larger groups planning festive celebrations and wanting everything sorted before they arrive.
