  • Perfect for team building, birthday parties, friends and family, stag and hen do’s

This adrenaline-pumping live game experience will have you unleashing your inner Sherlock Holmes and will put your investigative skills into overdrive as you race against the clock to uncover cryptic clues and complete your mission!

The ultimate challenge in teamwork, this escape room challenge is perfect for family, colleagues and groups of friends!

Can you solve your mission before the time runs out?

Select your mission theme from one of these options:


Mountain Blizzard:

A Survival Challenge with a Competitive Twist... If You Want It

Trapped in a remote mountain cabin as a blizzardcloses in, your team must crack codes, battle the cold, and make your escape before time and supplies run out!

With two matching rooms available, you can challenge another group in a head-to-head race or take it on solo with your own crew against the clock.

Whether you’re after bragging rights or just trying to find the heater, this frosty adventure remains one of Escape HQ’s fan favourites.


Jail Break:

There’s Only One Way Out, and It’s Not Through the Front Door

You’ve been framed for a crime you didn’t do. With a prison transfer just moments away, you have 60 minutes to outsmart the system, unlock your way to freedom, and change your destiny. One wrong move, and it’s straight back to solitary confinement.


Backstage Pass:

Rock 'n' Roll Mayhem Meets Puzzle Mastery

It’s the 70s, and you and your crew are the roadies for a legendary rock band.

The audience is packed, the band’s prepped, but the lead singer has vanished. You’ve got one hour to track them down, sort the backstage mayhem, and keep the show alive. Guitars tuned? Good. Managing rockstar egos? We’ll leave that to you.
