FAQs

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!

We are open 7 days a week, to see our opening times please click here

Our indoor escape room games cost £30 per person for groups of 2-3 players, and £25 per person for groups of 4-6 players.

Our City Hunt games cost £15 per player. Under 8s can play for free but must be accompanied by 2 paying adults. Maximum 6 players per team.

Our escape rooms and City Hunt games are ideal for groups of between two and six. If you’ve more than six people who want to play, then why not split into two teams and have a friendly – or indeed unfriendly – head-to-head competition?

Our escape room games are PG unless stated otherwise – so kids aged 8+ are good to go. Under 16s must be accompanied in the room by a paying adult over 18.

Our city hunt games are suitable for all ages. Due to the nature of game play, children under 8 go free and must be accompanied by 2 paying players. All under 16s must have an adult (over 18) in their team.
