At the end of your hire time, you simply package all the items back, and return them using the prepaid stickering.

All instructions are supplied, alongside a set of introductory slides, the solving solutions (for the adults) and lots of ‘debrief’ slides, which an be used for further study or discussion. No photocopying, no coach trips, no risk assessments, no hassle.

Games currently available

Escape The Chop (Tudors)

This explosive era is both bloodthirsty and gripping, and this escape game, which takes around an hour for a class to solve, will have the students making connections with Henry’s Wives, reading postcards from the past and mapping them, identifying unusual objects in genuine Tudor portraits, ordering key Tudor events, and uncovering mysteries in the family tree!

Escape the Mayans

Can you solve the mysteries in time, to avoid becoming a sacrifice yourself? You’ll have to work hard, together with others in order to find the solutions to the puzzles and get to your reward in time! Games include maps, symbol decoding, tower building and pattern matching.

Escape the Blitz

You have just 60 minutes inside your Anderson Shelter in order to solve the mysteries your Uncle left behind, just before he vanished. Utilise your knowledge of the war, to match ration vouchers, compile the right telegrams, identify who is who in a signed photo and lots more!

Escape the Inspector (Coming Autumn 2, 2024)

Test your knowledge of this seminal play by solving a case file the Inspector has left for you. Who sat where? Whose status was whose? Can you match the event to the timeline? Designed to be a revision/reward session for those in Key Stage Three studying An Inspector Calls.
