Can I book more than one game at a time?

In order to book multiple games, simply find the time for which all game rooms are available and then add one of the slots to the cart. You can then click on ‘Select another item’ to continue adding other slots. If you are wanting to also add additional offerings to your booking like function room hire or cocktail making then please call if you are struggling and one of our team will help you.

One of our room bookings is due to start at a different time, can we allocate the start times to be the same?

We will endeavour to accommodate any fine-tuning to the start and finish times of your games, subject to availability. If you can give the team as much notice as possible to allow for any movement in your game times.

If were running late on the day what happens?

Please don’t be late! Let us know straight away. However, do note that, depending on the venue, we can’t allow games to go ahead (sadly, with no refund) if you arrive later than 10 minutes, as it would have a rolling impact on all of our bookings for the day. Depending on how late you arrive you may have reduced time in the game.

Can we bring more players on the day?

You can bring more players which we can add and charge for on the day. This is subject to the maximum number of players that can play the room. The majority of our games can hold up to a maximum of 6 players. If you can give us a call to let us know or email us then we can ensure the room is set-up correctly for you.

COVID implementations

We have been working really hard to ensure COVID implementation is structured and safety driven.

We will have a hand sanitisation station upon arrival through our front door, alongside needing a list of people within your group which you will need to use your own pen to write on.

Everything on site will be table service for Drinks/Food, you can also order through an app once on site too, more information will be given upon arrival.

For the Escape Rooms – Health and safety briefing will be done in the room pre-recorded to ensure there is as little interaction of staff to customers for both your safety and our staff safety. We will be wiping all surfaces down in the room after each group. The welcome immersive story line will also be given from outside of the room or a welcome screen in the room to help immerse you in the theme, please bare with as we have put all these structures in place in a short pace of time and will always try and make it as a immersive as possible. (also don’t worry the Health and Safety and welcome speech will not impede into your time in the room)

All area’s if anyone has been sat or completing an activity there will be a full sanitisation and wipe down of all surfaces etc.

For now till we can get a better understanding of the situation we will only be welcoming teams who have pre-booked, to ensure the managers of sites can maintain the customer flow and safety on sites.
