PUZZLE ROOM - ESCAPE ROOM - WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?
We have created two styles of Escape Room. Both are team-based entertainment where you complete a mission within a time limit, but there are key differences between them.
Our puzzle rooms have a more linear gameplay design and your attention is focused in a single-room experience. Puzzle rooms also have in-game help with a game character able to provide you more info or hints as you play.
Want a multi-room experience, and perhaps a bit more mystery, chose an Escape room.
Every one of our experiences is unique, so we provide game information to help you choose the right one.
EXPECT DIFFERENT - EVERY EXPERIENCE IS UNIQUE.
We don't offer standard 'Escape Rooms'
If you are an Experienced Escape Room Enthusiast - We recommend Zombie Bite or Gnome's Adventure.
To ensure you find the room that is right for you, read the experience information and recommendations. If you enjoy a certain style of gameplay and aren't sure which experience is the best fit for you, please contact us.
FAQs
Escape Rooms - What to expect
Complete a mission, solve puzzles, open locks
Whether you have booked an escape room or puzzle room, the main play elements are the same:
-
Firstly, if you are new to escape rooms, perhaps you are nervous about how well you'll do, you can take comfort that there is a Game Master who looks after your game, they are there to ensure you understand your game, can answer any questions you have and are on call for assistance while you are playing.
-
You'll be in a room for a set time limit (usually 60 minutes) - don't worry, the entry door will remain unlocked for safety reasons, so if you need to leave you can.
-
There will be a mission to complete. Some of the rooms have a rich story, while others might be more puzzle focused, but there will always be a clear mission that will be given to you, so you'll know why you are there.
-
As part of completing your mission, you'll be solving puzzles - this is the main challenging aspect of escape rooms and expect to be challenged - you will however always have a way of asking for help and most teams will ask for 4 or more clues.
-
Locks, probably lots of them. Escape rooms have locks to help control game play, tell a story and help you focus. The locks could be keyed, combination or some kind of electronic or mechanical mechanism. For all of the locks you won't need to guess the answers as they will always relate to a puzzle or hidden answer you can find in the room.
Arrive relaxed
Please arrive 15 minutes before your booking so we can brief your team, lock away belongings and start on time (we have free lockers). Late arrivals may have playing time shortened to keep the schedule fair for the next group.
What to bring
-
Comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes.
-
Reading glasses if you need them for small clues.
-
An inquisitive mind and open to asking questions and asking for help when needed.
Accessibility & families
Our venue is single-level with step-free entry. Only one of our escape rooms has wheelchair-friendly access, the others are up stairs. Lighting in most rooms can be adjusted if required - please let us know in advance if you have any accessibility requirements and we'll do our best to accommodate.
