Plan your visit

Themed rooms that test your whole team

Each room drops your group into a story and a ticking clock. Recent games have included The Collector, Time To Float, Dream House 2.0 and Zombie Outbreak 2.0, with different rooms suiting different team sizes and nerves. These themes rotate, so always check the current games before you pick. Larger experiences take bigger groups and run longer than a standard hour. Horror-leaning rooms suit teens and adults more than young children, which is why the venue gives 14+ guidance with adult supervision for anyone younger.
