Q: DO I NEED TO WEAR A MASK AT ALL TIMES?

Bar and Restaurant If you are visiting our Bar or Restaurant and once you are sat at a table, then no you don't need to wear a mask. However we do ask upon arrival if you could wear a mask as our staff will greet you and sit you at your table so we want to ensure their safety. We do ask for you to book a table before arrival so we can accommodate everyone, however we are accepting walk up's as long as safe measures and distance can be obtained. Escape Room If you are visiting our Escape Rooms , you need to wear a mask at all times, including when playing the room. You may if you wish for a very short period and when our staff are at a safe distance (as you are within your bubble) you may take your masks off to have a picture taken, this is your choice and no staff member will make you take your mask off at anytime.

Q: WHY DO PEOPLE NOT NEED TO WEAR MASKS ON PHOTOS?

Please be aware that all photos which have no masks on, have only taken them off for a brief amount of time as they wanted their faces in the picture. All pictures have been taken by a member of our staff who is at a safe distance and also wearing a mask for safety of the players and our staff. Whilst they are playing the game our staff are vigilant on ensuring masks are worn.

Q: HOW LONG DOES THE GAME TAKE TO PLAY?

Most of our games last around 90 minutes, although this will of course vary from group to group. The Game Access Code allows the team playing a full 24 hours to complete the game once the game has started.

Q: CAN I BUY THESE GAMES AS A GIFT FOR A FRIEND?

Great Idea. To do this you can either enter your friend’s email address when you purchase the games, or you can use your own and forward the details on at your chosen time.

Q: IS THE PRICE PER PLAYER OR PER TEAM?

The price you pay covers your whole team. We suggest 2-5 players as an ideal number; however, the games can be played in larger groups or on your own if you’re up for challenge.

Q: DO I HAVE TO PLAY STRAIGHT AWAY?

There’s no rush. When you’ve made your purchase, you will be able to play at a time and date that suits you and your chosen team. The game code will expire in 30 days, allowing you to plan around your friends and family or wait for that imminent rainy day!
