Ready To Step Beyond Reality? Line-up of Escape This Adventure Experiences
Magic School 🪄
Awaken your magic. Defend the realm (9+)
For five centuries, the Founders’ Spell has warded our world against the Shadow Realm, but the Blood Eclipse stains the sky and the enchantment is faltering. Summoned by Headmistress Selene Arkwright, you and your fellow apprentices must uncover the artefacts and restore the spell before the Shadow Realm breaks through. Your final test begins now.
Pirates 🏴☠️
Plunder or the Plank (9+)
Listen well, ye scallywags! Captured by the ruthless Calico Jack, you’re below deck on the Caribbean’s most notorious galleon. At dawn’s first light, your fate is sealed: the plank! As sea fog rolls in, the crew slumbers heavy with rum, but the treasure chest sits unguarded. You must find where it’s hidden and plunder it right from under Calico Jack’s nose. Fortune favors the bold; will ye be rich or shark food?
Pirate Island 🏝️
Arrr, Prisoners in Paradise! (9+)
A palm-fringed, powder-white sand beach stretching as far as the eye can see; the sound of waves crashing…aye, it would have been the perfect holiday, if you weren't trapped inside Calico Jack’s beachside Shanty! The air thick with spilled rum and gunpowder, the Jolly Roger stalks the reef on the horizon, and that scoundrel is closing fast. Will you claim the treasure or remain a prisoner in paradise... forever?
Captain Nemo 🦑
20,000 Leagues Under The Sea (9+)
Captain Nemo’s steampunk masterpiece isn't sailor’s lore, it’s now your reality! Trapped 20,000 leagues under, the Nautilus is groaning under pressure. With the Kraken stalking the hull, you must master the complex machinery to fix the submarine and rise to the surface - before the oxygen runs out and the beast’s tentacles drag you to a watery grave!
A New Kind of Fear Is Coming… Line-up of Escape This Horror Experiences
Zombie Apocalypse 🧟
Edge of Extinction (18+)
The world has fallen to the undead. Seeking refuge, you’ve discovered a laboratory once on the verge of a miracle - now deserted after a horde breach, leaving the cure unfinished. From the containment chamber you hear the guttural snarls and heavy pacing of the only remaining test subject. As humanity’s final hope, you must stabilise the volatile bio-tech before the power and containment fails. Will you synthesize the cure, or doom yourself and humanity forever?
Asylum 🤡
It’s all in your head… (18+)
Enveloped by padded walls and total darkness, you hear the sharp clink of chains and feel the bite of cold metal handcuffs. A voice breaks the silence: "Heeellloooo my FAVOURITE patients! I make therapy FUN, but I can’t let you out until you’re all better!" Can you escape your cell whilst surviving twisted treatments before whoever he is returns for your final procedure?
The Possession 👻
Fear Is Back (18+)
Rumours always circulated about this building and you never believed them... how silly you were. Trapped inside, the innocent echoes of nursery rhymes and children’s laughter drift through rotting walls and the stale stench of decay. You are not alone, and Cathy wants you to play... forever. Navigate her collection of severed playthings without angering her, or join the other souls as the latest piece of décor in this house of agony.
Dracula 🧛
Blood Moon Rising (16+)
Van Helsing warned you, yet you walked right into my trap. Fools believe a stake through the heart was my end, yet you stand before my tomb and it’s empty. Led by that hunter’s own notebook to this secret crypt, you have found what I have searched for eternally. My beautiful Bride is desperate to meet you, and the Blood Moon demands a sacrifice to complete her resurrection. Succumb to the dark; your blood shall be the fountain of our eternal reign.
Cannibal 🥩
Bone Appetite (18+)
The lights flicker as you wake on a blood-slicked floor. Amidst the hum of industrial freezers, the scent of rot, and the rhythm of sharpening blades, you realize the Northbridge Butcher wasn't a hoax after all. You must escape the meat locker and decipher his twisted diary to outwit this Cannibal Copycat - or risk becoming the main course at the worst dinner party of your life.
