What exactly will happen in an Escape Room?

An escape room is actual a set of puzzles & clues, with a theme, storyline and decor to fully immerse you into the scenerio.

Our Games Master will greet you, give you some instructions (listen carefully, there maybe a clue in what he says) and he’ll set the scene before opening the door and sending you off to rob the train!

The Games Master is with you every step of the way, watching & listening, so he’s on hand for extra clues should you get stuck

Are we really locked in?

Actually no, because with our escape room, you have to break INTO the train, steal the cash and get your haul to the robbers hideout….

Our train door is prone to swinging shut …and as its an original train door from the 60’s the handle to undo it is only on the outside of the train. Therefore if you are 'inside’ the train, please slide the window down and reach down to turn the exterior handle in the traditional way!

How long does it last?

You will have 60 minutes to solve all the puzzles and make your escape, however please allow a bit more time as there intructions to listen to from the Games Master before you go in and photos afterwards if you wish

What if we don’t escape?

The Police catch you!
Only kidding, our Games Master will let you out at the end of your 60 minutes. If you don’t manage to escape & are determined to crack it, then why not book to come again…

What age is the Escape Room for?

Our Escape Room is for ages 11+. Under 18’s must be accompanied by at least 1 adult.
