Adventure for Everyone

City Hunts are designed for all ages and children under 8 go free. They’re perfect for families looking for a unique day out, students discovering their new city for the first time,friends looking for an adventure or colleagues searching for a team challenge that goes beyond the ordinary.

This isn’t just an adventure, it’s a chance to see your city differently. From tucked-away landmarks to striking architecture, you’ll uncover details that you might never have noticed before. Whether you’re new in town or know every corner, City Hunt turns your surroundings into something magical.

How does it work? 

Your City Hunt adventure begins the moment you arrive at one of our venues. Here’s what to expect:

• You’ll be set up with an iPad and a case of exciting props that you’ll need to complete your adventure.
• After the safety briefing, you’ll be given your assignment and the clock begins. Remember you’ll only have 90 minutes.
• The digital map will be your navigation and will guide you throughout the city. You’ll discover the hidden gems that the city has to offer.
• After your outdoor escape room adventure, we invite you and your group to enjoy our lounge, in-house bar and photo opportunity space.

We know you might have some questions before starting your adventure. Here are the ones we often get asked:

• How long does a City Hunt game last?

Each City Hunt game lasts for between 1.5 and 2 hours, we would allow 2.5 hours for the whole experience, which includes a quick briefing before you get started.

• How far will I be walking? 

Please note that this outdoor game takes you on approximately a 2km walk around the city centre, so we advise wearing comfortable footwear.

• What is the best group size?

Our City Hunt games are ideal for groups of between two and six people.

• Is there an age limit?

Our City Hunt games are suitable for all ages. Children under 8 go free but must be accompanied by 2 paying players. All under 16s must have an adult (over 18) in their team.

Ready to Begin?

Return to Wonderland, become a Time Cop, or join the ranks of the Vampire Hunters. The question isn’t if you’re ready,  it’s which story you’ll choose. Step outside, live the adventure, and see your city in a whole new way.

The response has been fantastic, with the Basingstoke Gazette describing it as “fun and offering something a bit different.”

The post Why Escape room games are the best Christmas activity appeared first on UK.

One minute you’re in your city centre – next, you’re deep inside a Pharaoh’s tomb, a magic vault, or the ruins of Camelot. This is more than a game. This is an escape room, reimagined.

But what is an escape room, really? And how does an escape room work? Whether you’re new to immersive experiences or a curious adventurer looking to begin your journey, we’re here to guide you through it. At its heart, an escape room is a themed, immersive experience where you and your team must crack clues, solve puzzles and uncover secrets – all before time runs out. Think of it like stepping inside your favourite story or film. You’re not watching the action. You are living the action.

Each escape room game transports you to a different world: ancient Egypt, the Wild West, Dracula’s crypt, or a sunken submarine bound for Atlantis. The environments are meticulously crafted and full of surprises, making every moment feel like part of a grand adventure.

And no, you’re never truly locked in. While the stakes feel high (and your heart might pound a little faster), you’re always free to step out if you need to pause or take a breather.

How Does an Escape Room Work?

Here’s how the adventure unfolds:

Choose your world – Whether you’re helping the Mad Hatter in Alice in Puzzleland or racing against a vampire’s return in Dracula, each escape room game has its own cinematic storyline.

Team up -Gather your friends, family, or colleagues for an unforgettable experience. Our escape rooms are designed for 2–6 players, but if your group is larger, no problem – we can split you into teams so you can tackle multiple rooms at once.

Step inside – You’ll enter a fully themed room filled with clues, props and secrets, with a clear mission: retrieve the treasure, stop the curse, find the artefact.

Solve your way out – Using your minds and your teamwork, unravel riddles, crack codes and progress through the story.

Beat the clock – You’ve got 60 minutes. Can your team complete the mission in time

What makes an escape room game unforgettable isn’t just the puzzles. It’s the connection. Families bond over cryptic clues. Friends rediscover each other’s strengths. Teams forge new ways to communicate. Stepping into a live-action adventure brings people together in ways that few other experiences can.

Whether you’re visiting with your family, planning a birthday party, organising a corporate team event, or just looking for something different to do on the weekend -this is a memory waiting to be made.

So… what is an Escape Room Game?

It’s not just a game. It’s a portal. A mission. A thrill. It’s the chance to live the adventure. And it’s waiting for you.

Look no further! We’ve crafted the ultimate list of hints and tips to help you complete ground breaking missions before time runs out. Whether you’re a seasoned escape artist or a first-timer, let us help you enjoy every thrilling second of your next immersive escape room. 

    1. Think outside the box.

Thinking outside the box can be your greatest asset. Our immersive challenges are designed to push you beyond typical problem-solving and encourage you to think creatively. We warn you, the solutions are not always obvious, and sometimes the most unexpected objects or ideas are the key to the next clue.

    2. Don’t worry if you get stuck 

Don’t worry if you find yourself stuck during your escape room adventure—getting a little extra help is all part of the fun! Your host will explain how to ask for hints, which often ties into the unique theme of the room, adding to the immersive experience. Remember, your host is there to guide you, so don’t hesitate to reach out and keep the adventure going!

    3. Work as a team

While it might be tempting to tackle the puzzles on your own, our escape rooms are designed to challenge you as a group. Each team member brings unique strengths and perspectives that will help solve problems. By working together, you can divide tasks, share discoveries, and connect the dots faster than any individual could alone. Remember, you only have 60 minutes to escape. 

    4. Communicate

Communication is absolutely vital as it ensures your team functions like a well-oiled machine. If you find something interesting, say it out loud—what might seem insignificant to you could be the missing piece someone else needs. Communication also helps save precious time as the clock ticks down. Remember, an escape room is a collaborative experience and is the secret weapon that will lead your team to victory!
