Frequently asked questions.
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.
How many people can take part?
Its a tough challenge for 2, especially if you inexperienced at Escape Rooms. We think its most comfortable for 4, however we’re to accept a maximum of 6 people in the Escape Room at one time.

How accessible is the escape room?
Market House is grade II listed, with a step at both entrance doors. The escape room is located in the cellar, with stair-only access. The cellar is 500yrs old and pre-dates the building above - the orignal recycling!
