For our Virtual Reality games, we recommend a minimum of 2 players, with a suggested maximum of 4 players to ensure everyone has an enjoyable experience.

If you can no longer make your booking, we’ll do everything we can to reschedule your game free of charge, provided you give us 24 hours notice and the new date is within 30 days of your original booking. See our terms and conditions here for more information.

To change a booking, please get in touch with the Escape Hunt venue you made your booking with.

Certainly, you can add an extra person to the booking as long as you’re still within the maximum number of people for each game. There’s no need to let us know in advance, and they can pay when they arrive. Just remember we only accept card payments at our venues.

Unfortunately not, we don’t provide refunds if someone doesn’t play.

A variety of drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, are available at our in-house bar within each venue. These can be enjoyed in our premium lounge and also taken into our escape rooms.

Black tie/ball gown, obviously. Just kidding – come as you are, although we do suggest comfortable clothing as the games can get quite intense.

Our City Hunt games involve about 2km of walking around the city so please wear comfortable footwear.

Other than that, just your team and a set of working brains!

Think of Escape Hunt as the closest you’re likely to get to starring in a brilliantly plotted escape movie. You and your teammates get locked in a themed room and have to find and solve a series of clues in order to escape. The pressure’s on, the clock’s ticking, the adrenaline’s pumping. Escape Hunt isn’t something you watch, it’s something you experience – right in the heart of the action. We make you earn your freedom, throwing all manner of devious and dastardly red herrings, dead ends and misdirections your way. It’s completely immersive, utterly addictive and totally entertaining. After Escape Hunt, other entertainment just feels flat.

The whole experience lasts around 90 minutes. You’ll spend around 15 minutes before your game completing waivers, enjoying some pre-game drinks and getting ready for your adventure, then you’ll spend around 60 minutes in the room (in fact that’s the maximum time you’ve got in which to escape). Then afterwards we invite you and your group to enjoy our lounge, in-house bar and photo opportunity space.

Absolutely – our games are thrilling but never, ever dangerous. Rest assured that whatever happens, you’re in safe hands. Our games masters are highly trained and very vigilant, and as you’d expect, player safety is our number one concern.

All our Escape Hunt games are incredibly exciting and utterly immersive, so it’s impossible for us to say. Perhaps the best solution is to play them all!

Our City Hunt games unite the thrill of escape rooms with the buzz of an outdoor pursuit. Imagine an escape room with no doors, a treasure hunt with more challenges, and a city like you’ve never seen it before. Explore with our digital map, crack clues, complete puzzles and solve challenges along the way.

Each City Hunt game lasts for between 1.5 and 2 hours, we would allow 2.5 hours for the whole experience, which includes a quick briefing before you get started, and afterwards we invite you and your group to enjoy our lounge, in-house bar and photo opportunity space.

Our City Hunt games will go ahead come rain or shine so we advise that you check the weather forecast beforehand. Please come prepared for all types of weather – remember sun screen and a hat on sunny days, and we will provide you with ponchos to help keep you nice and dry on drizzlier days. 

In instances of severe wind, rain or weather warnings, we may have to cancel your game. Games are not refundable, but if cancelled due to the weather we will contact you to let you know and reschedule your game to another time. We will also offer you the option to switch to one of our indoor game rooms for a small price difference and dependent on availability.  

If you do not hear from us, then please assume your game is going ahead! 

Our Virtual Reality game is essentially a virtual escape room. You will each be kitted out with a wireless headset and backpack and transported to a virtual world, with you at its centre. Work together as a team, find and solve a series of clues and complete your mission. The virtual reality game is a fully immersive, interactive, 3D escape game experience. Sound good? We think so!

The VR game experience is open to teams of 2-4 players.

Our virtual reality adventures last for up to 45 minutes. We would recommend allowing an hour and a quarter for the whole experience, which includes a briefing beforehand and of course, 45 mins of epic gameplay. Afterwards, we invite you to sit back and enjoy our premium lounge and in-house bar.

We have purposefully chosen a very advanced virtual reality software to try and reduce the likelihood that you will experience motion sickness or dizziness while playing the game. However, as with any motion-related activity, in rare circumstances some people might be susceptible to unexpected side effects whilst playing. Your dedicated Games Master will be keeping an eye on you throughout the game and will be able to help immediately should this occur.

The headsets we use have plenty of room for your glasses to fit underneath so feel free to keep them on during gameplay.

Many of our escape room games are wheelchair accessible, and are designed to allow up to 2 wheelchair users in the room at once. We advise contacting your local Escape Hunt to find out more about their facilities, and which games are best suited to the needs of your group.

To make our games as accessible as possible we allow a registered carer to enter for free when supporting a player. Please note some of our puzzles require two players. We also allow assistance dogs in the games rooms.

Our Doctor Who: A Dalek Awakens game allows those who are blind, visually impaired or deaf to take part. Should you need to bring a carer or guide dog with you, or if you are deaf, blind or visually impaired we advise contacting your local Escape Hunt team to let them know, so that they can ensure that the appropriate provisions are in place to make your visit as comfortable as possible and answer any questions that you have specific to your situation.

Of course – the more the merrier! Our games masters monitor every game on CCTV so if you want to leave the room just let them know and you’ll be free in moments. If you’ve any specific worries then we suggest you speak to a health professional or GP before playing.

Absolutely. Our games rooms aren’t particularly confined, and our games masters are always on hand to release you the moment you want to leave.

Some of our games make use of special effects, including smoke machines, strobe lighting and lasers. If you have any medical conditions that may be affected, or indeed any medical conditions at all that we need to be aware of (including allergies), please be sure to let site teams know when making a booking.
